#bettermebetterbutt

I have just over three months until my Ironman and I got to get back on the training or I am going to fail...how do you get over the hump, silence the voices and get back out there?!

On this Sunday early in the morn there was a 15k that the most awesomest trio of running friends embarked on in the land known as Portlandia! Dressed in their best gear they set off around 0730 with dreams of finish lines, beer and Scotch Eggs that would be presented to them in plenty for their efforts!! Little did they know that over the next 2.5 hours they would encounter 40mph wind gusts, 0.86 inches of rainfall, a crazy woman looking to be saved from murder, a warrior leprechaun and the hill those who have come before call "Pill Hill"! We slayed the crazy woman, cheered on the leprechaun warrior, claimed "Pill Hill" as our bitch (with promises never to go back) and found victory as our water logged shoes, heavy rain soaked clothing and chilled to the bone selves crossed the finish line where kilted medals were presented to us while the people cheered us for our valiant efforts! It wasn't without struggle and all cheers & kilted medals were well earned but this warrior would have called it if it wasn't for Megan & her wonderful husband, Tom! Thank you both for an amazing day...and next one we shall crush it even more!!! I'm so happy I can call y'all friends after the experience we had today!

I just wanted to say hi! I’m Meg…and I have worked the past year to be a better me and I’ve done so through running…and now I’m embracing the fact that I’m a half marathon runner and loving it - but always looking for that next challenge! This is where my journey is going to begin with training for my first Ironman!! So stay turned for lots more!!
