No more treadmill babyyy!

What a gorgeous day today. I got in a little cafe adventure and library stop while out walking, and then did a glorious outdoor run in the sunshine. Man, I missed that.

I got out for a few miles today. It felt good to move my legs. I’ll try to get on here more often.

Fall is here and I’m soo inspired. Crisp air brings out the best in me. I’ve missed it.

Im back!

Trying to start up some sort of routine again, while nursing some knee pain.

Small beginnings but I AM beginning something.

Metro in the storm 😳

Oh hey, I ran a 10k

Last week, I ran a 10k with a friend. It was my first race since moving back to Virginia, and it was a tough one. Though slow and tired, we made it across the finish line, where a good beer awaited me. Super glad to have completed it, but have a looong way to get back to where I was at the end of last year (in more ways than one).

Spring is Coming

I haven’t been running much at all since my marathon in December. My life took a hard right turn and my focus was put on other things. Trying to rediscover or remake myself, and I’ve landed back in Northern Virginia sooner than expected. But I love it here.

This run felt amazing mentally, but I know I have a lot of build up I need to do and slowly, along with strengthening the legs again. But I will get there.

I might even join a run club. 🤔

Oh hey!

I ran a marathon last weekend!🏃🏼‍♀️🏅

My official time was 6:14:45. That’s over a 15 minute PR from last year 💪🏻 I’ll take it!

The Honolulu Marathon is the best event ever. There’s so much to see! So many spectators and cheer squads! So much to distract you! So many beautiful views! I had an amazing time.

It’s been a really tough year. I’m so glad I stuck with my training, even if I didn’t do as good as I know I have in me. I was fitter than last year in some areas, and not as fit in others. We live and we learn. I just know there’s more in this tank. I just need the time and space to find it. ✨

Kuli ‘ou ‘ou Ridge Trail

This weekend’s hike was a success! Went with some folks from work and got to know each other a bit better.

At first when we submitted, there was no view since the clouds decided to hug us. Normally you can see a beautiful view of the beach and ocean below. We did get a peek, but not a long one. We cherished it with our summit snacks.

Still had some nice views on the way back down. It was a Sunday well spent with good company.

15 Mile Long Run

This weekends run went well! Finally, a long run that I don’t feel I failed at. Figured out I wasn’t fueling properly, so once I fixed that, the miles ticked off nicely.

I’m finally feeling like this race is possible.

1 hour run

This is my super hilly route and somehow I crushed it! Feeling pretty darn good today.

1 hour run today 🏃🏼‍♀️

Kicked it up a notch and was super happy with the effort!

I had a lot on my mind, so I didn’t even hit play on my podcast. Sometimes getting lost in the run is the best way find yourself.

That sounds so incredibly cheesy, but it’s true.

14 Miles of movement

It was a nice morning with periodic clouds and rain, which was very much welcome.

4 Mile Progression Run 🌧️

…nearly had it, but a few road crossings slowed me down the second mile. Still put in a good effort, and I’m pretty pleased with a 12:30 average pace!

2nd attempt at 12 miles

Again, it started out good but didn’t end well. I walked too much of it- nearly half. My hamstrings started cramping at mile 9. Only 5 weeks until marathon day. I’m losing more and more confidence in myself, even though I have completed this distance before.
