As we frolicked through some birthday miles this morning for @hdsmithfnp’s 35th, the rain got heavier and heavier. We were soaked but also totally high vibing because you get to a point where you just don’t give an eff anymore. You’re already soaked, so you might as well splash through those puddles and empower your badassery. This is a good metaphor for life and something I hope my dear friend will embrace as she gains another year of awesomeness. Happy birthday, Heather!

WEEK 1 ➡️ WEEK 2

It wouldn’t be me if Marathon training didn’t start out with a bang 😂. I had some GI 💩 to start the week, but it didn’t stop me from getting my miles in. It did, however, make me question my “why”, which was actually kind of a good thing. I’m revisiting the marathon distance because I CAN and also because I WANT the challenge. Committing the time and effort to the miles required in training is not easy with my work and family schedule, but I CAN make it work. Not having a specific time goal is not something I’m used to, but in order to respect the distance AND myself, it’s my plan. For now. I’m a woman, I’m allowed to change my mind 😘. Week 2 looks to pick up the mileage and I’m kind of pumped to bring it. 💪🏼🙌🏻👏🏼 #marathontraining

🎵I get by with a little help from my friends.🎵 Well I guess it’s more like I get by with A LOT of help from my friends, but that’s not how the song goes soooooo whatevs. I documented a few weeks ago how long runs are not necessarily my favorite, but here I am finishing up week one of marathon training with 12 miles thanks to my @volee_tnky friends (and a Buffalo). And guess what, long runs are kind of awesome when you do them with friends, AND when you have friends to meet for coffee after. Forever thankful for my ladies, and happy to report Week 1 was a success!

“NO EXCUSES and HARD WORK GET RESULTS” 💪🏼

Looks like those summer miles are going to pay off big time with today’s temperature drop. Today’s run averaged 25 seconds per mile faster than yesterday, and my heart rate was lower. I also felt like I was floating and I was smiling like a damn fool. Basically it was like the best run EVER.

My photographer would only take my picture if I held this green foam slime stuff. So here I am holding it. I also ran 6 miles with 5x 30 second pick ups but that’s probably not as cool as this slime. I also saw my new neighbor/old friend, @girlsrunthe901, while I was running. Again, not as cool as the slime, but pretty exciting nonetheless. If you are looking for a photographer, I’d be happy to rent mine out. Bring your own slime 😂.

Running at night after work is not always my favorite, but I’m really grateful it’s an option. Sure, it’s 10:00 pm and I haven’t eaten dinner and I have to be back at work in less than 10 hours, but I sure did run 6 miles. #marathontraining is in effect 🙌🏻.

Tomorrow I’m embarking on the stupid adventure known as Marathon Training. I’m bringing a friend along with me (the equally stupid @malmal_dote), and I’ve got plenty of other friends along for the ride, training for their own races. It’s going to be hard, it’s going to be stupid, and it’s also going to be fun, because if it’s not fun, I’m not doing it

Reason #6097 to have a running coach: when you’ve had some GI distress and you’re not sure if running is smart, your coach can guide you. Especially if you have one as scientific minded as @katyhaytay. I tried to give it a go but promptly ended up home before I ruined my prized Pop @oiselle rogas 😂. Back to the @nuunhydration for this lady.

They can’t all be perfect. Today was way less than perfect but it got done. I was kind of bummed because I had a fartlek workout that I LOVE (normally), but the heat and humidity just made it brutal. I even had to stop home during my cool down just to refill my water bottle. So basically I’m waiting for fall to arrive. Just like everyone else in the south.
