#medalmonday my new marathon PR from the incredible #chicagomarathon! . . It’s still a mix of emotions. I’m BEYOND proud and excited for my #teamintraining team! A lot of best times, second best times, and first timers yesterday!! And we worked together and raised over $22,000 so far!! I’m so grateful for the race I was able to run. I’m proud of my PR in less than ideal conditions. But I know I was trained for faster. I know I gave up mentally. I didn’t want to be running alone. I wanted @naomi_gal to be there with me, excited by the time at 20 miles, and encouraging us both to keep digging. . . Now comes some tough decisions... do I try again before Disney? Or do I take a break from chasing the Unicorn? This training cycle feels like it’s been a year long endeavor... . . Today - I’ll celebrate, focus on the good, nurse my sore muscles, and enjoy some tacos tonight! . . #intervalrunner #runningmotivation #gallowaymethod #runwalkrun #teamsparkle #inspiringrunners #womensrunning @myteamintraining https://www.instagram.com/p/BorRokflLDf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=s5xnlzdk46fd
