Yesterday ended in a pretty terrible place but today started with 4 easy miles and some smiles. I could tell my legs were tired from yesterday's intervals, so I took this easy run extra easy. I've been slacking on stretching, rolling, and other prehab activities lately and I need to remedy that before it's too late. 52 days to go 🌻🌻🌻

First run of July this morning and it was some speed work by way of 3x1 mile intervals. I was aiming for 10:15-10:25 pace but it was a struggle and I hit 10:26, 10:25, and 10:31. Sandwiched these between a mile easy on either side. Now that I've got more than just easy miles on my schedule I really feel like I'm getting into training for this thing. 53 days 🌻

Happy Monday!

Finally got my replacement garmin, everything is right in the world once again! (Not really, but small wins). 4 easy miles again this morning that, dare I say it, feel like they're getting easier?! I guess its true what they say, slow miles really do build fast miles. Be a turtle, my friends, be a turtle 🐢🐢🐢

Happy Thursday! 💚

Looking back at my training log from my last half marathon and yikes

Yikes, yikes, yikes I fell off so hard in the last 5 weeks of training no wonder I didn’t do as well as I hoped

This training log looks so much better and I intend to keep it that way 👌👍💪🏃‍♀️😊

6 miles of intervals this morning. The legs were heavy and not thrilled to be moving so quick.

Thursday will be August and August is race month. This week, peak week, taper, and we're there. So close.

Happy Monday 🌻

Last long run before my half on the books. This week was not the peak week that I wanted but I am pleased that, despite the pain in my hip, I made it through. Now I'll taper for the next two weeks and trust that these weeks of training will pay off on race day. 🌻

Another 8 miles this sunny morning. There will never be a day where I don't feel compelled to negative split every mile. I think I need some new running socks.

Happy Saturday 🌻🌻🌻

Slow miles build fast miles. Slow miles build fast miles. Slow miles build fast miles.

Happy Friday! 💜
