ran 31k yesterday which is by far the longest i’ve ever run. it was a really cool experience, i took an edible beforehand so i kind of was just moving along nice and easy for the first 10 miles, the last 6 miles were a slog and my airpods died with 7k to go, so i just enjoyed the silence for the last bit. my legs were absolutely dead, so i had to take some walking breaks but I did everything else right in terms of fueling and staying in a good headspace. Really really proud of myself for this run and I’m feeling good about starting to train for a full marathon this summer! Knees are a little sore today so I’m going to take a few days off before the block begins.

i ran 87 miles this month which is by far the most i’ve run in a month in probably 10 years. i feel really fit, just dropped a 10k strava PR on a recovery run where my HR stayed in zone 2. Time to taper! I am so excited to run this half marathon in 2 weeks! My goal is 2:23 which would be right under 11 min miles, and 10 min faster than what I ran in October. I think I can definitely do it if I feel good on the day and don’t have any stomach issues.

first week that i’ve missed some miles so far in the training block, but i did get all my runs in, just cut the. long run short to 6 miles. we go again next week!

i think if i take the L on running today, if i get out there and run 9 tomorrow in the snow, and try to get 2-3 miles done on sunday afternoon it’ll be a successful week. and then go again next week, just keep stacking

finished my first half marathon since 2015 last weekend and I don’t know how to feel. I definitely bonked around mile 10 and had to walk a bit in the last 5k, but I felt so good up until then and I am really really proud of myself for sticking to my training and getting to the start line confident in my fitness. Although I’m feeling a little lost now, I don’t think I have the self motivation to run a bunch without something to train for but I don’t know what else to do for fitness. I might try classpass?

I really wish I could have held my goal pace for a couple more miles. I want to do another half in Milwaukee in April, which means training through the winter 😭 We’ll see how that goes… But the next 2.5 months I just want to keep my fitness and not get injured.

73 miles last month which is definitely the most i’ve run since college. feels really good especially since i’m mainly just running 3 times a week and i’ve been avoiding injuries so far!

kinda lonely to be training for a race and stay in on friday nights in order to wake up early and get a long run done on saturdays. i don’t mind it too much but it’s a sacrifice for sure. and i don’t really have friends that don’t drink at social situations so i just stay home instead

14 week training block for a half marathon in October starts tomorrow. I have to be disciplined and run in the summer heat in order to reach my goal for this race, but i think i can do it.

60 miles this month, most since college for sure. i don’t feel ready for the race on sunday but idk if i’d ever be without another year of running so we’re just gonna do it.

i hope by next year i’m running 30 miles a week again :)

biggest mileage month since undergrad! super proud of myself especially since i didn’t run when i was on my road trip for 6 days at the start of the month. ready for a big september to get to the race!

feeling really good about my running and where i’ve gotten back to in the last 3-4 months… i was struggling to run 1 mile back then and now i’m doing 3-4 mile runs every other day. still going to be tough to do this 10 miler in 6 weeks but i have a plan to get there so i just have to stick to it and keep going.

it would be nice to not be running on an injury but oh well hahah🥲

in July i ran 13 times for a total of 30.8 miles which isn’t a ton but it’s my highest mileage month since sept of 2019 and i feel really good about it

trying to start running again. gonna just do 1 mile at a time

sprint starts today in my lifting workout made me miss track! 😩

so i’ve been lifting recently. i joined a cool gym that has planned workouts (like crossfit but better??) and trainers and it’s expensive but very worth the investment. i’m learning how to lift and how to do yoga and it’s taking the pressure off the anxiety of getting a workout/run in on my own and i go at 6am MWF so i feel really good about myself the rest of the day. however, it’s almost 40 rn so i’m going to go for a 3 mile run to stay balanced!! this winter is about getting stronger 💪🏼

#why did it take me so long to try something new

had a blast on my run yesterday. first 3+ miler where i was running sub 10 min miles haha. probably because it was 48 degrees out! i wish we had a longer fall before the snow comes but i’m sure it’s coming soon!

easy couple miles tomorrow and then 10 miler on sunday! yay!

today’s long run was extremely hard but ya know what, the first 3 miles felt pretty easy and that’s what i’m looking for. if i can run 3 miles no problem then i can eventually do 5, 7, 9 no problem. that’s what i’m working towards, and i feel more like my old self every day.
