Our coach in high school called it liquid sunshine!

When you feel like quitting during a run, that’s when you’re getting stronger.

The mind wants to stop, but the body can handle more than you think.

Push through the discomfort. #MentalToughness #RunThroughIt

Every so often you have a perfect run. The first half of this run was that.

Thank you sir 🫡

Ran with a friend tonight. Definitely didn’t want to go, but got out there and did it!

The winter weather blues

Trying to get out ahead of the winter storm coming our way. Progression run, was under 10 minutes for my last mile which Im happy about!

Rethinking my strategy for my half marathon training I want to focus more on increasing volume so I’m going for four runs a week instead of my usual three.

Speed work this Thursday. One minute on, one minute off. Ran with a friend to make things easier

This run reminded me of the power of “GET OUT AND DO IT!” I felt good, pace was great, and heart rate was where I wanted. Definitely glad I went!

I’ll be curious to see how the Brooks hold up, so far I’m liking them, and if I’m not dead sore after running 10 miles in brand new shows that’s gotta be a good sign!

What’s your preferred running shoe brand? Switched to Brooks after running exclusively in Saucony’s the last few years

Did 10 miles for my long run today. Got the news Hilton Head was canceled on Thursday, so that’s a bummer. But the training wasn’t a waste and now I have some more time to train for another race TBD.

5k is a 5k, don’t let the time fool you 💪🏻🏃‍♀️ #running

4x1/2 mile repeats.
Not too bad, averaged around 4:20 for them. Definitely nice to be outside despite the wind!

Opted to run outside today. Snow was mostly gone aside from a few patches. Felt really good, but Garmin is saying my fitness is trending down… frustrating.

Treadmill, road running, or braving the snowy trail? Grappling with my 8 mile long run tomorrow, which would you choose?

Snow slowed things down. Had to switch from running on the path to the street, but it was worth it.

Pause if its longer than a few seconds, keep it running if its less

Focusing on consistency after falling out of training consistently for a bit. Cold #Chicago days means another treadmill run, but something is better than nothing.

Cutback long run this week. Under a month until the #HiltonHead Half Marathon!

1 on, 1 offs today. The snow and ice made it difficult to build up any momentum.

Hitting the treadmill. Been feeling the loss of motivation with these cold days, but someone made me think about the difference between motivation and determination. #running #winterrunning

Braved the cold for a real winter run. Canceled group doesn’t stop us 😤 #running #winterrunning

Turkey Trot. Not as fast as I would have liked, but mainly because I got stuck behind a bunch of walkers. First mile was at a 13 minute pace, the rest of the time I was around 10.

Pre-Turkey Trot Shakeout run.
Back last May I restarted my running journey. One of my goals was to be able to run 3 miles as an easy day. I thi k Ive reached that. #running

Monday blues- trying to add one more day to my running each week. The early sunset is definitely demotivating! #running

Long run Saturday #running
