  • 😆😆99% accurate, yes? This is why I get it when any non-runner says “ugh, it’s so hard. I just don’t like it.” // Most of us didn’t either. 😂 It is hard!! Which is also what makes it rewarding.🤯 // It absolutely requires showing up consistently for the body to adapt and yup, that’s hard too. But also what creates routine and habits that spill over to other areas.🤓 // After childhood, running was usually laps as punishment on a sports team or done randomly once a year on a track. Certainly not creating the warmest fuzziest of memories. 👇❓⁉️👇 Now I wonder what else do I think I still hate that maybe I don’t?!?! Burpees?!😱😱Raw tomatoes?!🍅Sleeping without a fan?!🥵 Anything you should give another chance?? . . . #runtothefinish #werunsocial #ilovetorun #iloverunning #runningcoach #runningmemes #fitnessmemes #fatgirlrunning #momswhorun #werunsocial #runforfun #runforlife #goneforarun #workoutwednesday #morningrun #treadmillrunning #whyirun #findyourstrong #runnerlife
  • DID YOU KNOW...let’s hear your random run fact!!!! 🏃‍♀️I ran my first race in 2002. 🏐I was an athlete prior to that. 🤦‍♀️But had and/or faked knee pain to avoid running. 🤷‍♀️I had knee surgery in high school, no one remembers why. 🏃🏃‍♀️My husband is always faster than me, even without training. But right now, I think I could take him in a race over 3 miles. 🏃‍♂️2005 OKC was my first marathon with a guy friend who is over 6’5”. The only time I’ve ever trained consistently with someone. 🏃‍♀️2015 Honolulu was my last marathon, pacing @joditivey for her first with @saucony 👆👆That’s totally part of why Chicago feels like training for my first all over! // Ok your turn!!

  • STOP RUN SHAMING. Somedays I choose to bundle up in the cold, the snow or sweat buckets in humidity... other days it’s perfectly fine outside and I still choose the treadmill. // Somedays I choose to climb crazy hills on a trail and somedays I choose to find the fastest paved path possible. // Somedays I choose to run for hours and somedays I choose to run/walk for 20 minutes before calling it a day. // YOU DO YOU. No more shaming people because they don’t train the way you do. Personally, I want to 🥰my running for many years and was really disappointed by messages implying I wasn’t a real runner because I didn’t go out in -15 F(especially when I didn’t have appropriate gear). Mostly because I get messages from many of you feeling like other runners are judging your choices. // Super impressive for all those who go out no matter what and choose to never utilize the treadmill, but it doesn’t make you more of a runner to do one or the other. // Our pool of people who understand our crazy obsession is small enough, let’s not make it smaller. Who’s with me??🙋‍♂️🙋🙋‍♀️ . . . #runtothefinish #runningcoach #treadmillrunning #winterrunning #morningrun #inspiringwomenrunners #runningmotivation #runnersworldmag #sweatpink #trailrunner #werunsocial #runrunrun #rungirlrun #runninglove #shapesquad #whstrong #runfree #nikerunclub #rundisney #yourworldtorun #thatsgoodhousekeeping #teamself
  • NUTRITION GOALS: I told myself I couldn’t do another marathon until I got my nutrition figured out...well, I won a lottery spot to Chicago 2020, so it's go time!!🥳🥳 #sponsored It’s exciting my focus is no longer just running pain free!! // A few RD friends have mentioned milk as a great workout recovery option, but I used to think "no I can't do dairy." Well it turns out, lactose is what I have an issue with and thanks to @corepower now I can get the quality and flavor of milk sans the lactose! It’s complete protein with all 9 essential amino acids, which helps build lean muscle and support my workout recovery.💪💪 // I've got so much to learn this year and I'm seriously excited to do it. Not a diet. Not a deprivation thing. A how can I feel my best thing!🥦🥔🍕 // Anyone else working on nutrition and properly recovering?? . . . #workhardrecoverharder #chimarathon #chicagomarathon #werunsocial #letsrun #runrunrun #foodisfuel #fuelyourbody #runtothefinish #happyrunning #strongerthanyesterday #beatyesterday #runforlife #runningwoman #morningrun
  • THEN IT’S 45 minutes 😂 Anyone else ever been mid-great run or interval and felt the shake which lead you to look like a new fawn learning to walk?! // So then you look around, realize no one needs it and just restart😂 // 🚗Making the 10 hour drive home from Iowa this morning and hoping the kitties did ok in the new apt. . While it was a sad reason for the trip, we had such a great time laughing with his siblings and marveling at the non-stop energy of our 5 nephews and 2 nieces🌪🌪 . . . #treadmillrunning #treadmillrun #winterrunning #distancerunner #halfmarathontraining #runtothefinish #runmehappy #fitnessmeme #runningmemes #runnerslife #runnerlife
