  • 😂ADMIT IT you don’t try as hard for Zoom as you would to run errands...Instagram on the other hand, we apparently try harder than normal. // What a weird holiday weekend. I felt so confused when people would ask what exciting plans we had because things aren’t really open, most of my friends are still largely quarantined, our normal go snag a hotel and hit the trails for hours on end didn’t seem logical. // 🥳Instead I ran 19.4 miles Saturday, 5.2 miles Sunday and hiked today. 😊I practiced my 63 step skincare routine, which essentially consists of washing my face, using toner, moisturizer and whatever random face mask I have....ok may have over counted the steps. 🤓Watched two movies and snuggled while it rained. . . . #iamwellandgood #facemaskselfie #workfromhomelife #mindbodygram #mindbodygreen #sundayrunday #wellnessblogger #popsugar #womenirl #thiswomansday
  • SLOW. WALK. REST. STOP. They aren’t dirty words and yet so often we treat them that way as runners. 🤭ARE YOU GUILTY of it?? // 😊Slow is relative and sometimes exactly what your body needs on a recovery run. 🤩Walking is a great way to boost endurance without over exerting yourself. 😴Rest is where the magic happens. It’s how your body rebuilds you get stronger from the stress of training. 😵Stop is when you’re smart enough to know that continuing on is a recipe for injury. // I’m over here pushing for new goals all the time, so this isn’t to say we won’t have discomfort and obstacles, but that we need to stop judging the process and feeling like it must be a grind. // What we do is freaking fun! Hard, but fun! Stop stealing the joy by worrying about not hitting a certain pace. // Happy Friday runners!!!! . . . #newrunner #treadmillrunner #fitnessmemes #runningmotivation #slowrunner #distancerunner #sweatpink #girlswhorun #sweateveryday #tiuteam #runlife #sweatitout #fitnessjourney #rundisney #marathontraining
  • HOW DO YOU LOG YOUR RUN DATA?🗓📝Spreadsheet? App? Journal? // When I started running, I’d write my miles on a wall calendar and kept them for years. Fun to look at, but not terribly useful long term because I didn’t write down anything but total miles and time. // Then I moved to an online platform and it shut down with NO WARNING ⚠️ a few years ago which meant I lost a lot of really useful marathon training data. // Since then I’ve been using a Google spreadsheet because it’s easy. Amusing because we ask our athletes to push their data to our coaching platform for much ore review than I do on my self. ❓So I’m curious what do you use or do you not even worry about the data once the run is done? . . . 📸 throwback to post Ragnar with @therunnerbeans #runwild #runcolorado #coloradorunner #justkeeprunning #stravarun #gorun #womensrunningcommunity #runnerscommunity #runnerslife #runningwoman #bibchat #runlikeagirl #runitfast #distancerunner #sheruns #motherrunner #lovetorun
  • ANY OTHER CHRONIC SPRING OVERDRESSERS OUT THERE? (#ad) 🥵Usually, I can pull off my hat or gloves, roll up my sleeves...but recently I pulled on some thick winter socks with my trail shoes. 9 miles later I had blisters on both pinky toes.😭 // Of course it's not just that they hurt in the moment, it's that blisters then disrupt your training going forward. Luckily, I had @compeed.usa Advanced Blister Care Cushions available to provide: 🟠protection against infection 🟢moisture to keep the natural healing process going (a myth that they need to be dry) 🟣pain relief from the cushioning designed to STAY put on our feet while we run, unlike that normal bandage which ends up smushed in my sock. // Ideally, step one is blister prevention, but we all have the random shoe rub or the poor choice in thick socks for the day. 👇👇 Once you've gotten a blister, CARE becomes your first priority, otherwise they can absolutely get worse which prevents you from running or causes you to change your foot strike resulting in other injuries. // Link in bio to find on Amazon! https://amzn.to/2W2RAMt Grab some to have on hand for that next oops moment, your feet will thank you. . . . #trailrunning #trailsisters #trailchix #iloverunning #runningcoach #runcoach #compeed #compeedusa #keepsyouontrack
  • 5 RANDOM FACTS ABOUT ME: Lots of new faces around here, so I should do a proper intro...but instead let’s do this 🤪 // 1️⃣I didn’t know my hair was naturally curly until college because my mom started perming it when I was in elementary🤣 2️⃣As much as I love testing new gear, I’m pretty much always skeptical to start. I tend to assume things are too good to be true and then I’m often pleasantly surprised. 3️⃣I’ve had the same number since I got my cell phone in 1998. When it was only allowed in my glove compartment for emergency situations, as I had like 10 minutes/month 😂 4️⃣I love having my toenails painted, but hate having my fingernails painted.💅 5️⃣When I used to buy bananas for my daily green smoothies in Miami, David swore he didn’t like them. Now he buys them and eats one a day 🤷‍♀️ // What’s a fun fact about you?? Nail art? Crazy tattoo? New hobbies? . . . #foodisfuel #runnerslife #werunsocial #runforfun #runrunrun #runnergirl #fitcouples #womenirl
