What do you do when you have the longest day and can’t start your run until 9pm? You lace up, throw on your old school headlamp, and RUN at 9pm!!🌙 Training usually isn’t easy, glamorous, and sometimes it’s inconvenient and unappealing but what’s more appealing is getting out there no matter what and knowing you’re getting closer to your goals with every step. Late night miles and a coyote encounter DONE!✅🐺✨
I absolutely love the family I married into. This weekend we celebrated a family wedding in the northern part of the Adirondacks and it was beautiful! The couple got married under this pretty leaf arch🍂🍁 (I had some really pretty runs too!😍🏃🏼‍♀️🍁⛰) I feel very lucky to have found such a wonderful family to marry into, they are the best!🥰♥️🥂
Pumped to be back to training and am also in week 2 of #tightertogether with @madeline_moves. I’m balancing both plans while making sure to fuel my body enough for my half training. For a lot of moves in TT, Madeline demonstrates them with weights, and while I’ve been using weights for a lot of them, I’ve been modifying when I need to and choosing to forgo weights and just use my own body weight. I’m planing to continue doing her workouts after TT ends and I think modifying when I need to will help me long term. 🏃🏼‍♀️💪🏼💦
It’s the first day of half marathon training!!🎉🏃🏼‍♀️And it’s also the first time I’ve ever said that because I’ve never formally trained for a half. The only distance I’ve formally trained for is the marathon - all other races, 5k through 20 miles, have just been thrown in cause running is fun🤷🏼‍♀️ This is new territory for me as a runner and I’m excited for the strength & knowledge I’ll gain. It’s been since April since I’ve been on a plan, and while I did a little speed over the summer, I’m out of routine for workouts! I had one today and I admit I thought about it at work way more than I should have. Getting back into training is more than just logging more miles, it’s conquering any fears or nerves that may show up before a big run. I told myself today to look at my workout right in the eye and run straight into it. Mission accomplished✅
Super excited to be heading into another training cycle with Siobhan as my coach! There’s no one I trust more with my training than her. She knows me and my running inside and out, and oftentimes knows when I get in my own head well before I even realize it😳🧠🤯 If you’re looking for someone to help you excel, look no further. Siobhan is the woman. I admire and look up to her as she balances ultra trail running with a busy and fulfilling life. Can’t wait for another cycle with you!💗
⬆️ Taken back in 2017 during a race that I bombed, but still crossed the finish line with a fist pump 👊🏼💪🏼🏅Something important I learned during this race: PACE YOURSELF😂 Something else I learned: Be proud of yourself even when you don’t hit your goal time!😊👊🏼
