And that’s a wrap on the tempo runs! Today’s was short and sweet: 1 up, 2 @ 8:05, 1 down. To say I’m excited for @philly_marathon is an understatement😄I’m so pumped!😜🙌🏼 About my “no time or pace goal” thing. I really don’t have a set time goal. Of course, I’m going for a PR (3:44 current PR), and would love to finish in the 3:30s somewhere, but I don’t have an exact time. Like not, “sub 3:35” or “3:32:16” or anything like that. I’ve got an idea about what I’d like to be running at what miles but that’s about it🤷🏼‍♀️ My goals are more-so running smart, confident, strong and happy🎉

Feeling like a ninja on my run today😜 Actually no, just feeling awkward because I didn’t want a person or car to go by as I was snapping selfies🤳 @philly_marathon in 4 days..woohoo!👏🏻

Laughing at myself because my last little mini speed sesh today was 10x (20 sec pickup, 60 sec recovery) and of course I count wrong and do 11🤪🤦🏼‍♀️ This is why I need to start uploading workouts into my Garmin! I’m really excited for @philly_marathon and the nerves still haven’t hit...maybe that’s a sign I know I’m ready?

Dancing for the camera because I was cold and because @philly_marathon is a week from tomorrow and I’m really excited🤩 I don’t have a time goal for this marathon. My only goals are to have fun and run a strong & smart race. And to soak in the crowds because I hear they’re pretty incredible! I’ve worked so hard these past couple months with training and have had so much fun doing it, so I’m ready to put in 110% next Sunday💪🏼🏃🏼‍♀️ Today’s workout: 8 easy miles @ 10:21 avg pace

The @philly_marathon is in 10 days and I’m really excited! I’m sure nerves will kick in soon, but for now I’m focusing on how excited I am to run another 26.2🙌🏼 Today, I ran almost my last tempo run of the training cycle today🏃🏼‍♀️I can’t believe how much I’ve grown to love tempo runs this training cycle. I used to dread them and be so mentally weak that I couldn’t get through them without stopping for a quick rest. Love looking back to see the progress I’ve made! Workout: 1 up, 4@7:50, 1 down 11:03, 7:47, 7:47, 7:50, 7:50, 10:37

Heading into the @philly_marathon taper like 👍🏼 (I was giving the camera a thumbs up in this picture😂). I have never really experienced the “taper crazies” like it sounds like a lot of people do. I love running and training but it’s nice to finally have some weekdays when I look at my schedule and think, “Oh cool, I don’t have to run 10 miles today - just 4! I can get so much other stuff done😬” But really, these next 12 days and after Philly I have a pretty big to-do list to tackle😳📝 Anyone else not experience them?
