You know you’re a runner when you casually have multiple race medals in your purse... =)

Rock n Roll Savannah | 13.1 Miles | Savannah, Georgia

I AM OFFICIALLY A HALF MARATHONER!

I couldn’t imagine having anyone else by my side to check off such a big accomplishment than my papa! It was unexpectedly so cold and windy. I did it though and my first words over the finish line was “when do we get to do this again?!”

Evergreen Pumpkin Run 10 Mile | Jacksonville, Florida

This was the first time I hit double digits. It was hard and rewarding, and one of the best experiences of my life. Its amazing what happens when you push yourself one step further than you think you could.

Monster Mash Dash 5k | Jacksonville

Ran a 5k PR on Friday at the Monster Mash Dash. It was literally the perfect weather. I ran it with my friend, realized when I went to go say something to her that I was running way faster than I realized, and passed mile 1 at 9:12. Overall, PRed by a full two and a half minutes!

Unfortunately, I stopped to tie my shoe, paused my watch and instead stopped my watch :(  Next up: Evergreen Pumpkin 10 miler followed by the ROCK N ROLL HALF IN SAVANNAH! AHHHHH

“I run because it’s so symbolic of life. You have to drive yourself to overcome the obstacles. You might feel that you can’t. But then you find your inner strength, and realize you’re capable of so much more than you thought.”

My perfect sanctuary from life was underwater just seven days ago. Today, Sammy and I took 2 {slow and distracted} miles today to check out how bad it was. Luckily, Hurricane Matthew stayed further off the coast and the damage wasn’t as bad as it could’ve been.

Staircase to Nowhere | Atlantic Beach, Florida | 10.13.16

11/50

[bmlruns]

Today was one of those runs that just CLICKED. I've been out for the count for over seven days and I was getting concerned. I couldn't make it more than 60 steps without needing an inhaler and running was out of the question. Today, I ran 1.5 without needing to stop and felt like I could go faster but paced myself. 23 days until Rock n Roll Savannah! 4.50 miles | Jacksonville

She quietly expected great things to happen to her, and no doubt that’s one of the reasons why they did.

As a runner, you have to face the truth about yourself on a regular basis, and it makes you more honest. You can’t pretend to be faster than you are. You can’t pretend that you are better prepared than you are. You cannot pretend to be a runner, you actually have to run.

Really ran two miles. Had to call Mom to get me back to my car. My quads were so tight from running stadiums. {4 sections of 85 steps!} 3/50 miles Tallahasssee | 10.01.16

Running is a mental sport, more than anything else. You’re only as good as your training, and your training is only as good as your thinking.

The level of jealousy I have for people running cooler miles is insane. It was another hot and humid one but I knocked out four this morning and actually wanted to keep going.

Lafayette Heritage Trail | 4.25 miles

“I’m not saying being a runner makes you better than anyone else, but one thing is for sure. Running makes you different. You begin to understand the connection between your feet and the ground. You start to believe in the beauty of unfiltered conversation. You learn that you have to face your deepest demons on 10 mile runs when no one else is around. You become the wind. You love to high five your rivals, the people who just beat you. You learn that your mind and body must coexist in a healthy relationship. So no, running does not make you special. But it sure as hell wakes you up.”

This fluffy guy is fun to run with if he doesn't get distracted by every cat, dog + human he wants to become best friends with! Jacksonville, Florida | 12/50 miles

[bmlruns]

Got up early on #LaborDay to run  a 5K with Pops...because hes actually been training, he finished way better than me. I just saw it as a challenge for next time. I came out way too hard on the first mile and spent the second trying to catch my breath. 

I’m so jealous of everyone’s post of cooler temperatures. Down here in Florida, its still 90 degrees with a humidity of 100%. Its like a swamp. Its supposed to rain for the next seven days straight. I hate the treadmill but I’ve contemplated joining a gym just to not have to deal with the rain, heat and humidity. 

Enjoy your cooler runs, y’all!

6/50. (I TOTALLY NEED TO GET IT IN GEAR!)

[bmlruns]

SO thankful that the  hurricane wasn’t worse. Being stuck made me stir crazy. So although it wasn’t a fast 1.5, it was 1.5 straight. 

Does anyone else use Nike Plus? I am so confused by the new interface and my watch was dead. Thoughts?
