Will Workout for Coffee

Megan/29/Teacher/DC. My focus is living a whole and healthy life. I don't think life is complete without a cup of coffee. I run on plants. I’ve completed 6 half marathons and the Chicago and Philadelphia marathons! 53lbs down!

New favorite snack. Cottage cheese, cherry tomatoes, and enough red pepper to make you cry.

20 miles ✅

You can find me with legs elevated for the next 5 years. My right knee was in excruciating pain for last 1.5 miles. I had to walk. Walking hurt, but wasn’t a sharp pain like running. I’m praying it’s because I was running with weird form because my legs were sore going into it. 🤞🏼

So. Much. Rain. at the Marine Corps Marathon today. I didn’t run, but I came out to support a friend, and it was rough. When the rain finally stopped the heat cranked up to 80 degrees. Major props to all who ran!!

18 miles in the rain at my fastest pace for this distance! Can’t wait for leggings and my couch for the rest of the day.

12 miles 2 weeks ago: yay, fast, no problems

12 miles 1 week ago: lead legs, can’t move, walked 1/2

12 miles today: yay, fast, but everything hurts!

Running is weird.

Tiny cast iron skillets make for an adorable breakfast.

Leftover chili topped with a fried egg.

New shoes served me well on my training run for the philly marathon. 💃🏻 Also, it should be illegal to run a 1/2 marathon and not get a medal at the end.

A total mess on the plate, and you can barely see the peppers, but the stuffed poblanos from hellofresh are SO GOOD.

Keeping my promise to myself to walk to work 🎉 Forgetting my Fitbit 😩 At least my body still tracks the steps.

My husband is out of town which usually means take out, but tonight I cooked for myself. He doesn’t love salmon, so I took advantage of the opportunity to make it.

I’m feeling pretty annoyed that reaching my health and fitness goals means I have to eat healthy and workout more than one day in row. Who designed this system?? 🙄🙄🙄
