Ever Running

Post long run ritual: order the 4 shot latte then do a quick change in the bathroom while waiting for said latte. 17 miles on the #chicagolakefront Feeling pretty good! Longest run since October and it feels like my body is finally cooperating. #runningmom #motherfuckenmarathonmom #marathontraining #nooffseason #chicagorunning #chicagorunners #saturdaysareforlongruns #poweredbyNuun #bootlegrunnerscoalition #BRC @26.2proof

Typical nighttime routine for the #SalabertOchoaladies These little ladies are my happy place. Even when they make me repeat myself a thousand + times and have to hover over them to make sure they are doing what I told them to do. #lashermanasSalabert #lashermanasSalabertOchoa #lilaydalia #Vmamáof2 #workliferunningmombalance #lafamiliaSalabert #lafamiliaSalabertOchka

Heeeey shorts weather!! Don't mind my ashy, winter legs. 8 good miles midday on the lakefront. Negative split fighting the wind on the way back. Took a shit-load out of me but felt good to hit those paces. Thanks for the push again @inigo8a !!!!#runningmom #motherfuckenmarathon #wintertraining #nooffseason #chicagorunning #Chicagorunners #runfastpickleback #bootlegrunnerscoalition @26.2proof

When one of my girlies requests a sweat session for her birthday celebration I happily substituted my planned Sunday morning run for some deck and tread action. Lots of focus on long distance training has kept me away from @shred415 but man did this workout feel amazing!! Was good to be back even if just for a day. Feliz cumple @ladybempire !!!! #runningmom #motherfuckenmarathonmom #friendswhosweattogether #shred415wickerpark #HappyBirthdayLadyB

Meeting my big brother for lunch while I'm still sulking means a no judgment zone. Not even from myself. I haven't eaten bacon in probably 15 years but I think I did it right. This was AH-MAY-ZING!! They had me a truffle aioli. #eatingmyfeelings #thefatshallot #truffleblt #itsaboutbalance @the.andres.express

There is definitely something to be said for the advantages of having a training partner. @inigo8a Yesterday's 7 miler was the fastest tempo run I've done in at least a year. I usually fly solo on my weekday runs & although I've been getting my speed back I didn't realize these paces were already there just waiting for that extra little push. Neverending battle to recapture that unicorn. #runfastpickleback #runningmom #motherfuckenmarathonmom #workliferunningmombalance #marathontraining #winterrunning #wintertraining #nooffseason #bootlegrunnerscoalition @26.2proof

New kicks, first ride out, 15 miles. Took me 5 miles to catch a good rythym and ended up averaging at least 30 seconds faster for each of the last 4 miles. Still lots of work to do to feel like myself but I thrive on these small victories. #runningmom #motherfuckenmarathonmon #workliferunningmombalance #chicagorunning #chicagorunners #marathontraining #winter running #nooffseason #poweredbynuun #nuunlife #BootlegRunnersCoalition @26.2proof

Kid's choice Valentine's Day dance at my mini's school. I'm just happy they each got a plus 1. Otherwise I might've been shut out. #lafamiliaSalabert #lasHermanasSalabert #LasHermanasSalabertOchoa #LilayDalia #lilasworld #daliasworld

After a crappy day yesterday I opted to drink wine last night and push my Thurs morning run until Fri morning. But after another stressful day I needed a good sweat. Got my girls fed, bathed, & doing homework and was out the door as soon as the husband got home. Not the best decision to head out for a solo late night 7 miler but it was very much needed & I had #the606 to myself for a few stretches at a time. My weekday runs are usually done in the dark anyway. But there is something a little more eerie late night vs early morning. #runningmom #motherfuckenmarathonmom #workliferunningmombalance #marathontraining #winterrunning #wintertraining #nooffseason #Chicagorunners #BootlegRunnersCoalition #BRC @26.2proof

Sunday morning vibes. #lasHermanasSalabert #lasHermanasSalabertOchoa #daliasworld #lilasworld #LilayDalia #hermanas #lafamiliaSalabert

On a very, very, rare night out for me. These ladies seriously made this mamá's night out worthwhile! #workliferunningmombalance #nativeoils #conversationsforthegrownandsexy @inigo8a @ladybempire @bahenahilda @mmazzachi

12 cold, wet, blah miles on the lakefront with @inigo8a Hands were frozen, feet were wet, legs were tight, and miles were slow but it's done. #runningmom #motherfuckenmarathonmon #workliferunningmombalance #winterrunning #wintertraining #nooffseason #chicagorunners #chicagorunning #poweredbyNuun #nuunlife #BootlegRunnersCoalition @26.2proof

My morning 6.5 miles. A wall of white on #the606 . #runningmom #motherfuckenmarathonmon #workliferunningmombalance #winterrunning #wintertraining #nooffseason #chicagorunners #chicagorunning

Probably about 10 years in the making. Wine and cheese tasting inauguration at Casa Salabert. So much cheese, so much wine, not enough time. #workliferunningmombalance #wineandcheese #entertainingathome #imakethepartycometome @bahenahilda @inigo8a

12 miles on the lakefront with @inigo8a Longest run since the marathon in October. Feeling like I'm finally bouncing back after my year of the ultras. From Sep '16 - Oct '17 when I completed a total of 2 marathons, a 27 miler a trail 50K, a 34 miler, and 2 50 milers. One of which was on a trail that I was not at all prepared for. Not to mention all the training miles that I put in. All these miles took a toll on my body and health. It's taken this long to finally feel recovered. As much as the ultras call out to me I need to get my fast twitch muscles firing again. #runningmom #motherfuckenmarathonmon #motherfuckenultrarunningmommom #ultrarunnersareweird #marathontraining #winterrunning #nooffseason #Chicagorunning #poweredbyNuun #Nuunbassador

Went out for my early morning 7 miles and decided it was time to start doing my hill repeats again. Took it easy on myself decided to rebuild slowly so only did a few at an easy pace. Afterwards I remembered that not even a month ago I was in Mexico with a crazy elevation gain and starting at an already higher elevation than I'm used to. Seeing as how my options are very limited with places to run in our very small pueblo I have no choice but to suck it up and run this route. Above is from a typical run I do in Mexico and below is a run I did on my usual route here in Chicago. I just need to stop making excuses and really start pushing myself. I have proof that I can obviously do it.

It's my Hip Arthro-scaversary!Exactly 3 years since my hip surgery. Repaired torn labrum and shaving down of femur for a better fit into the hip socket. I couldn't have asked for a better surgeon. Recovery was tough and I had a bit of a set back a year after surgery mostly because I pushed too long, too hard, too soon but thankfully my hip has been in great shape since! Still so much left to prove to myself. Still so many running dreams to catch. Still trying to reign that unicorn back in. It will come. This I am sure of. #runningmom #motherfuckemarathonmom #workliferunningmombalance #runningposthipsurgery #hiparthroscopy #labraltear
