I knew today was going to be a run day the minute I woke up. I dreamt about Robert last night, which actually doesn’t happen very often so I’m always a little taken aback when I do. I dreamt that he and I were together and that he was smiling (I loved his smile). And I dreamt that there was a chance he could come back and live again. I remember being so hopeful and excited in my dream that he’d come back. I remembered the dream so vividly when I woke up, but then had the horrible realization that that’s all it was - a dream. I didn’t tell Kyle about my dream at first, but just started crying during breakfast so that totally threw him. He was like, “WHOA why are you crying?!” I’m sure I dreamt about him because our wedding is this weekend and he won’t be there. Grieving the loss of a loved one isn’t easy. It wasn’t easy when I got the call on Aug 25, 2012 and it’s still not easy almost 6 years later. And it probably won’t be easy 20 years from now. I managed to run 2 miles but that’s all I wanted and could manage for today💚 #run4rob #climbonRob

“You don’t have to be this stick-thin person to be an amazing runner” - Heather Larson, RD, LD @run4prs.dietitian Amen to that!!🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 I was so pumped to run today because I planned to listen to @rambling_runner latest podcast with Heather. If you’ve been following me for a while (or listened to my episode on Rambling Runner😄 #39) you know I struggled with severe Binge Eating Disorder for a long time - 10+ years. I had a skewed view of food and just could never find a balance for myself. Throw emotions in there and binging every time something hard, stressful, sad, etc happened and well, food comforted me and stressed me out at the same time and it was always on my mind!🤯 I loved listening to this podcast because it echoed everything I’ve been learning while working one-on-one with professionals to not only help me overcome my eating disorder, but to make me a healthier and stronger person and runner overall. I wish this episode could’ve been 10 hours long because I definitely would’ve listened to the whole thing! I HIGHLY recommend listening to this episode even if you’re not a runner - Heather drops some major knowledge!👏🏻

It’s our wedding week!!!👰🏼🤵🏻Time to get SWOLE💪🏼💪🏼 Jk, jk. I can’t believe we’re getting married in 6 days🙃 We got engaged in June 2016 and the day is almost here. So crazy! I’m so excited but I also have loved the excitement leading up to it so don’t want it to go by too quickly! Kyle and I hit the fitness room for a P90X shoulder & arm workout. No running today because I’m not marathon training yet sooooo I don’t have to run if I don’t feel like it😜 #MyStrongestSelf

Today’s run was just epic. Flat out epic. I wanted to do a longer run and opted for the treadmill because it’s raining and I get married next Saturday! No time for a cold!🙅🏼‍♀️ 80 min treadmill run: 10 min warmup @ 11:32 pace 60 min steady @ 8:34 pace 10 min cool down @ 11:32 pace I didn’t touch the pace button at all, so kept all 80 min 100% steady. So all 60 min were exactly at 8:34 pace. I say this was an epic run because the 60 min @ 8:34 were extremely comfortable. Yeah, I was sweating but I was breathing through my nose the whole time. Mouth was completely shut. Heart rate felt very comfy and steady. Never once did I feel tired. Plus, I’m not marathon training quite yet, so this was one of the longest runs I’ve done this summer. Just cruised and before I knew it, 60 min were done and it was time to stop and cool down! Woo!👊🏼 If anything, I had to keep my mind busy and occupied during this run because I was on a treadmill staring at the wall with no windows anywhere🤣 But the ease of the pace made me happy so the entire run flew by. Followed up with 15 min of leg strengthening and then FOOD. Duh😁🤗
