This run was so crazy horrible yet still so much of an accomplishment that I made myself a badge (swipe) for surviving it 😆😆😆 Let’s start off with the fact that I didn’t want to do this run at all. AT ALL. It was cold and windy outside and the howling wind made me want to keep my butt on the couch. I even made a pear pie (last pic) to procrastinate doing this run. But I am a slave to my training plan app, so I dragged myself into my new #headsweats tights and my dreaded winter gear and took off. Long story short, that brownie and pear I had with my chicken for lunch came back to gastrointestinally haunt me in the 3rd mile, and I suddenly found Mother Nature frantically calling me about 0.10 miles from the house...I had to walk that 0.1 least I ruin my new tights with large dog 🐕 yanking me forward trying to make me run. Then I had to make it up my icy driveway without slipping and falling with aforementioned large dog still trying to yank me into a run...that meant I had to tread slowly and carefully, so that I barely made it inside in time to answer that call from Mother Nature. Boy, was she mad I waited so long to pick up. 🤪 Anyway, we did complete the last 3 miles of this sixer without any further incident...other than having to make it back up the icy driveway one more time. And I freaking earned every pixel of that badge. 🤪 What did large dog think of all this? 👇🏻 “OMG I LOVE HER FOR THE RUNNING AND FOR NOT KILLING ME WHEN I KEPT YANKING HER ON THE ICE 16/10” • • • • • • • • • • • • #runnersofinstagram #runnerscommunity #womensrunningcommunity #instarunners #fitfam #fitnessjourney #weightlossjourney #facetiouslyfit #runners #running #runnerswhobike #runstagram #runnergirl #getitdone #justdothething #keepshowingup #marathonrunner #halfmarathonrunner #irunthisbody #fitnessgirl #runchat #runlikeagirl #marathontraining #runrunrun #runningwithdogs #pelotonoutdoor #onepeloton #pelotoncommunity #pelopups (at McHenry County, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJcOlKhnKjz/?igshid=hl5mft5yc6a0
