..…. Here and Now πŸ’ I’ve never been so grateful for this sport and for those in my corner.

I have learned far more than I ever thought was possible this past week. I do know this. I am more resilient (and stubborn) than I realized and the path ahead of me is going to see the best possible version of myself. Whatever start line I cross next, I will be stronger than I’ve ever been.

Thankful for life and all the possibilities.

33 miles this week and a s**t load of strength today. Legs feel good!

Onward bound.

..…. Our only job is to stay on the path, no matter how crooked the course can get. I’m choosing to use any obstacle as a way to grow, learn and better myself. Tuning out the noise.

Here and now is all we have. Never before have I believed this more. We can always find a reason. A reason to sulk or want more than what’s in front of us. Or we can find a reason to keep growing. Bettering ourselves. My goal is to get to get to the next water stop in life. Hopefully with some more start and finish lines in between!

I wore my lucky CANADA shirt today that gave me. 6.5 mile brisk walk to flush out the legs which feel great. Thankful for quite a few things right now. Here and Now πŸ’ It’s all we have.

..…. Another BQ! πŸ’™πŸ’› πŸ¦„ 3:29:58

It was a strong race! I felt solid and kept it relaxed, but the warmth didn’t let the final 10k unfold that I wanted. However, I wouldn’t change a thing and I hung on the best that I could with the mental strength that we have built over the past few years. With Sherab at mile 24, she knew I needed her, and she got me back on track while running a bit ahead, on tired legs, egging me on to the finish line. I’m amazed and so thankful for her knowing exactly what I needed today, even when I didn’t know myself. πŸ’

I felt really good for most of the race as I stayed relaxed and calm. I accomplished another goal while making new ones and learned lessons while having my best friend and coach at 4 different mile markers along the route. There are no words to fully express the gratitude I have for her! ☺️

I can’t tell you how many people came up to her at the finish thanking her for the support as they ran by, the cheers, screams and advice as she helped many people realize they had more within themselves when they had given up. She’s always said, everything I need is within. She brought that out of so many struggling runners today (and ones that were flying high). I’m SO proud to call her my friend and my coach.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for an unforgettable weekend. I’m beyond sad to give you back to Canada 😭😭 The universe knew I needed you here today, in ways only we know. Thank you for staying by my side along 26.2 miles and beyond the finish line πŸ’

..…. When your coach is wearing Boston colors while dining on Boston colored furniture πŸ’™πŸ’›

I had the privilege of chasing this morning and handing off water as she ran a phenomenal 13.1 mile training run, that turned into a 14.1 mile run. πŸ€“πŸ€£

I was SO proud seeing Sherab come flying down the route I will get to run tomorrow! I got to yell, scream, take videos and high five her as she clicked off another strong run! After lunch, I did some mobility and stretched and she beast moded her way through an hour of strength. This woman is on fire. Boston, watch out! πŸ’™πŸ’›

This had been an incredible day! Thank you for letting me chase you today! You are an inspiration and set the bar high!

PS - our buns are as high as we are! πŸƒπŸ»β€β™€οΈ πŸͺ

..…. Look who flew all the way from πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ to spend the weekend with me and cheer me on for the Erie Marathon! None other that my coach and amazing friend

We are having the time of our lives, my cheeks hurt from laughing so hard and I’ll def have abs from more laughter by the end of the weekend!

No matter what happens at this race, I am beyond humbled and grateful that someone I respect so much took the time out of her busy training and life to spend 4 days in my world.

Today we ran together, tomorrow I support her on her long run (training doesn’t stop, she has Boston next month πŸ’™πŸ’›), and then it’s time to toe the start line and make her proud. Sherab, Thank you for all the time and love you put into me, my training and for the wonderful friendship you have given me! You’re the best and I appreciate you so very much!πŸ’πŸ’πŸ’

Got done early this morning, hence the dark ass picture… and it’s staying dark longer. Excuse the s**t eating grin on my face, some epic s**t is about to go down tonight!

..…. It’s our job to run the best we can in the season we are in. There is no benefit to judging if we are better or worse than before. No two training cycles are alike and the races they lead up to will be nothing alike as well. They all unfold differently.

Our only job is to find a way to be the best version of ourselves right now. In this moment.

Final mini workout. I’m where I’m supposed to be. That’s it. No hidden meaning. No expectations of anything ground breaking. I just know I did everything that was asked of me, didn’t skip a mile, and I’m showing up healthy. No matter what happens, I’m thankful.

Final mini workout today from and only 14 more easy miles
Thursday-Saturday before I toe that start line. πŸƒπŸ»β€β™€οΈ πŸ’¨

..…. 4 recovery miles today. I’m at that point of β€œtaper” where I’m thinking two things.
1 - Will my legs ever feel fresh
2 - I have to run how far how fast?

And yet, I know they will and I know I can.

4 miles - 9:40 pace

..…. We. Are. Ready. I think 😜

Coach said the course was shaded and I’m grateful for that as the 95% humidity today and full on sun was brutal this morning.

Chill miles with only a couple of MP in there. Taper legs are setting in a bit but nothing forced today, and I hit save grateful to be showing up to this start line in one piece.

No matter what happens, I’m grateful for every single mile I got to run this cycle. I have learned. I have grown. I have fallen even deeper in love with all that this sport is, and all that it teaches me. Let’s Freaking Go! πŸ”₯

..…. Ran for the first time on Iowa soil today πŸ€“ We are here for the weekend as the family is at a Hawkeyes game. I’m the dog sitter which is fun as I got a beautiful run in next to the Mississippi River, and get to rest and read all day… about running. What else is there? πŸ€“πŸ€“

4 easy miles this morning (followed by a 2 mile walk) and I have my final long run tomorrow (14 miles) before the marathon next weekend! A party is coming to town! I’m ready πŸ₯³πŸ₯³

..…. It’s that time of the year when it’s dark when I start my run, and dark when I finish my run. Looking forward to the time change next month as for me, it always makes the days seem longer and I like it lighter on my runs since I pound morning pavement πŸƒπŸ»β€β™€οΈ

6.06 recovery miles this morning. One week from today I’ll be in Erie! Going to be a warm race but I couldn’t care less as you have no idea how exciting this race is going to be. I’m so pumped I almost can’t handle it πŸ₯³πŸ₯³

Out of town this weekend with family? But you better believe I picked my running shoes and will still be in bed early πŸ€“πŸ€“

6.06 recovery miles - 9:46 pace

Do you prefer lighter mornings or evenings?

..…. Final mini Thursday workout before the marathon. It feels weird to only have a 6 mile workout sandwiched in between a WU & CD. How are we already here! It seems like last week I was headed to Washington to run the last marathon. Well, it has only been 11.5 weeks. πŸ€“πŸ€“πŸ€“πŸ€“πŸ€“

RUN BECAUSE IT’S BEAUTIFUL - it epitomizes struggle, growth, failure, victory, love, fear and life. All wrapped up in the gift of miles. Right

Nothing forced or pushed today, but started steady out of the gate. I zoned out for mile 5 which was a funny feeling to realize 800 meters later that I was nearing the final mile and to move the legs a bit faster.

6:32 final mile, 7:15 overall pace for 6 steady miles. I feel good (minus a bit of crunch to the legs) but outside of a 14 miler on Sunday, it’s chill time… with, Im sure, a few meters to keep the legs fresh next week. LFG πŸ”₯ There is LOTS to look forward to next week! 🎁🀩πŸ₯°
