Nailed my speed workout✔️🏃🏼‍♀️ Mile repeats @ 6:45 pace and came in at 6:41, 6:44, 6:45🔥 This was hard but I felt comfortably in control the whole time. Does that make sense?😂 The thing I’m most proud of is staying right on pace! Last week I was way too fast during my tempo miles so I slowed when I needed to slow today and held on right at 6:45. Feeling strong!!
SUCH A COOL WEEKEND🤩🌅 The Grand Canyon is way more massive than I ever imagined, especially since I’ve hiked it now all in one day🤣 At times I felt like I was walking on the moon - it was like nothing I’ve ever seen. I’m pretty tired but life is all about adventure, exploring, and trying new things, and I love doing it with my family♥️
One of the coolest things I’ve ever done😍 12 straight hours of hiking and we made it from the North Rim to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon!🌅
First time to the Grand Canyon!🎉 Tomorrow we hike the R2R - North Rim ➡️ South Rim (24 miles). Our plan is to start hiking at 5am with our headlamps under the stars and watch the sunrise 🌅✨
When you overshoot you’re tempo splits and run too fast😬🤦🏼‍♀️ Whoops. Pacing needs practice. I had 2 sets of 2 tempo miles. My first of each set were too fast and then I was able to get it under control the second, but still, too fast. Not a great habit to get into so I’m fixing that now!
Lots of things make me smile. The first sip of hot coffee, that “Friday” feeling, finding money in my pocket, and doing something nice for someone else😊 Interacting with my athletes is another thing that makes me smile. Listening to them talk about a run or reflect on a training cycle, reading an email that exuberates happiness and confidence, and educating others about becoming a stronger runner while having fun and staying healthy. It all makes me happy and smile, and I feel so lucky to be able to work with such an incredible team of runners. Every person is unique with their goals and in their journeys, and that’s such a beautiful part of being a coach - knowing that I can be a part of someone’s personal running journey and help them reach their dreams. Very grateful that I took a leap of faith with coaching and founded team Strongest Self♥️💪🏼 #StrongestSelf
