Run with Jen

[runningwithjen]

Hey guys. So I haven't posted in a long time, and that's because I've had to give up running. I've had a lot of pain in my hips, particularly my right side. I'm scheduled for an MRI, & the doctors think my spine is curved and pushing my hips and pelvis out of place, which is terrifying, and obviously it's knocked running out the picture. I'll let you know whenever we find out something new.

I’ve been awful with updating! Here’s a “four-ish” mile race I ran while sick this morning. 60° weather called for tank tops and shorts! Getting ready for my dual half marathons in a month - and I won my age category.

2nd place

Sorry for being MIA! High school is awful - especially junior year. But I have a half marathon this weekend, so an update will be due!

Props to the runners who will never finish first, never get their name in the paper, never finish top five, and still work their asses off every day to be the best runner they can possibly be.

Sorry for the inactivity!! This summer's been super hot, and there hasn't been many races except the colour run. Surgery has put me out of running for the past month, but the past few days I've been hitting it at the gym full throttle. Next race: September. Next half marathon: October. Let's do this!

Sorry for the inactivity! This summer has been insane hot, and the only race in my area was the colour run (thus the picture). Surgery has also put me out for a month, so I'm trying to get back into it. I've started hardcore gym time this week. Next race: September. Next half marathon: October. Let's do this!

GUYS. Can we celebrate the fact a plus sized model is on the COVER of a running magazine?!?! Without any mention of “how to get healthy” or losing weight?! If anything, they mention that weight doesn’t matter. She looks strong and fabulous. Runners come in all shapes and sizes and it’s so awesome that Women’s Running is embracing that. I am so inspired by this.

The heel slipping one is awesome if you have to wear orthotics because it stops them from slipping round inside your shoe

“Today, I will feel the burn in my legs. I will fight the urge to want to quit. I will breathe heavily, and become so sore where it hurts to walk. I will give it my all, and my everything. I will put in 110 percent effort. & No one will stop me"

marathon training has shot my mile time to a solid 10-11 minutes. without running for a week and a half, I found some spare time today to check my mile time. it's gone from about 10-11 minutes down to 8:30! I'm excited to train to get back to my original 5 minute times again.

before/after, and my race gear! i had to jump through so many hoops to make this race happen, but I did it! i scored top 10 in my age division, and had an approx. 2:20 time. on mile 2 my hip popped out of place so that explains the agonizingly slow time. oh well, I'm just glad I'm finished!

[runningwithjen]

officially arrived in Joplin for the half marathon! see you guys at the finish line.
