Meet Elizabeth

Welcome to Running for Robert! I'm Elizabeth, a 24 year-old Pre-K teacher living in Boston, and running marathons in memory of my older brother, Robert. Running for Robert follows my life and interests including fitness, weight loss, food, family, and healthy living.

“She believed she could, so she did”. What a day!🎉👩🏼‍🎓🏃🏼‍♀️This morning, I graduated as a Master of Early Childhood Education🙌🏼 My parents came up for the day, and when they left, Kyle and I headed out in the cold and rain to run 8 miles on hills⛰Since my brother passed away in 2012, I have transformed into a completely different person. I have taken control of my health (physical, mental, and emotional) by losing weight, getting strong, and overcoming an eating disorder, I’ve pursued a career I love (teaching), attended graduate school and earned a 3.97 GPA, got engaged, and discovered my passion - RUNNING!😍🏃🏼‍♀️I wish more than ever Robert was here to see how I’ve changed my life for the better. I’ve worked unbelievably hard to get where I am today and the person I’ve become through both my struggles and accomplishments is someone I’ve fallen in love with. I’m going to keep chasing these things because they truly make me happy😊 I’ll be running my 11th marathon for Robert soon and I can’t wait💚
Speed workout today🏃🏼‍♀️💨 The past two speed workouts I’ve done were on a track, but today I went back to the trail I like to run around😜Followed up with leg strengthening! Strength training in general has definitely taken a back seat this training cycle. With •working, •finishing up grad school, •marathon training, •wedding planning, •actively recovering from an eating disorder, and •becoming a certified running coach, (and life in general), I haven’t made strength training a priority. I’ve picked leg strengthening back up these past few weeks and feel the strongest I’ve ever been...so that’s a good sign! Now that things are starting to wind down a little starting with graduation this weekend, I’m excited to add strength training back into my routine😊👩🏼‍🎓
Thank you to my bookshelf that took this selfie. You the real MVP👏🏻 I started my run outside but got stuck in a thunderstorm, so I booked it to the gym and finished on the treadmill! Not trying to get struck by lightning over here😜⚡️Marathon training requires flexibility, but I’m willing to do whatever it takes to make my dreams a reality.
Thank you @mercurymile for hooking me up with this awesome running outfit and @goodr sunglasses - and more! But really, how cute are these flamingo sunglasses?😍😎 Beautiful 4 miler this afternoon and race day is creeping closer and closer...I’m PUMPED!!👊🏼💪🏼😛🏃🏼‍♀️The code HealthyLife will give you $10 off a box😊
10 easy miles on hills @ 10:07 pace this morning followed by taking my mom out for coffee💗 No better way to warm up after a chilly run than with some hot coffee😍☕️ And a shower I guess😜
That feeling when you’re DONE with grad school!!🙌🏼🎉😜 Yes, that happened tonight! Just need to graduate next weekend👩🏼‍🎓🙃 I’ve spent the past 2 years earning my Masters in Early Childhood Education (I teach Pre-K😍💗). Celebrated after class with 5 easy sunset miles @ 10:11 avg pace after yesterday’s legit speed workout💥
