I've been trying to break in these new Newton Motion IV shoes for the last 3 weeks. It's been rough the last few weeks of the #RWRunStreak because of the snow and ice. I was able to put in some decent miles in Nashville, but I'm ready for spring and running season to get here. #STRroadrunner #NewtonRunning #RunInMotion #WereGoingStreaking #running #runningsucks #butreallyitsgreat

First day of the #RWRunStreak and I got put my first mile in on my new shoes! Liking the way the #NewtonRunning Motion IV felt and I'm just happy that I have all winter to break them in #STRroadrunner #running #BeforeAfter #runningsucks #butreallyitsgreat #ShoesForSprites Also, my 2016 #TurkeyTrot hat!

Woke up this morning and took on the #DefenderDash...and the chilly autumn air. Thanks to the support of friends and family. It was great to see some familiar people and have some fun. Really wanted to get a PR, but a 2nd place medal is good enough, I suppose. I have two more races for the season and I intend on improving for them both...it's going to be tough to juggle the work, life, sleep and running. #STRroadrunner #MedalBite #STRsFinest #running #runningsucks #butreallyitsgreat #BeforeAfter #StarvedRockRunners #instarunners #runnercrate @runnercrate @IndigoAthletics

#STRroadrunner spent another Saturday running. This time it was in Peru for the Fall Fitness 5K. It was a strong pool of competition and a great turnout. I've been testing a new workout plan for myself to try and better myself and my times, this was the last step to lay down the foundation. To my disappointment, I didn't finish with a new PR, but I did end up placing 3rd in my age group. I didn't get to stay for the ceremony due to other obligations. I got one more race out of my #BigTime #NewtonRunning BOCO ATs, and got to lay the foundation for my 1, 2, and 3 mile times to improve from. Here goes nothing! #BeforeAfter #running #runningsucks #butreallyitsgreat #STARVEDROCKRUNNERS #SRRL #FallFitness5K #GoTheDistance #GoRun #sweatstagram #MulletMan

It wouldn't be me without the #BeforeAfter shots or #MedalBite and it DEFINITELY wouldn't be me if things didn't go nearly, terribly wrong...poor nutrition pre-race was probably my first downfall, but at least I showed up before the run started. No PR today, but I still did it. It was a good experience, but the weather didn't quite cooperate as well as last year. There's quite a bit going on right now, but I'm glad I was able to make it up to Madison for another great learning experience and running memory. #STRroadrunner in Madison @madisonminimarathon @madisondotcom #MadisonMiniTraining #IRUNThisCity #sweatstagram #running #runningsucks #butreallyitsgreat #instarunners #StarvedRockRunners #SRRL #RCRunnerOfTheWeek #STR #STRepresent #SpiderMan #WarriorDash #RockinWarrior @runnercrate @IndigoAthletics @instarunners #IGrunners #runnersofinstagram #RunnersWorld #NoFilter #NotFiltered #MulletMan

How many days until the @madisonminimarathon? 3 How many morning miles? 3 Started at my mom's wonderful sunflowers and ended at her blooming hibiscus. (They aren't 3 miles away from each other) Got some yard work to do and then probably some more evening miles!! YAY RUNNING! #STRroadrunner #running #BeforeAfter #runningsucks #butreallyitsgreat #instarunners #StarvedRockRunners #SRRL #RCRunnerOfTheWeek #MadisonMiniTraining #IRUNThisCity #sweatstagram #HalHigdon #GoTheDistance #NewtonRunning #STR #RockinWarrior @runnercrate @IndigoAthletics @instarunners #IGrunners #runnersofinstagram #RunnersWorld #NoFilter #NotFiltered #ReturnOfTheMane #LongHair

I did a thing today, I guess. Ran for a good 7 miles or so, only stopped twice, but I had to get out and do something. Not sure what was going on with me yesterday, but I'm glad I was feeling better today. 12 days until the Madison Mini Marathon and I am ready to start the taper! Also looking forward to actually starting at the right time this year lol #STRroadrunner #BeforeAfter #running #runningsucks #butreallyitsgreat #instarunners #StarvedRockRunners #SRRL #RCRunnerOfTheWeek #MadisonMiniTraining #IRUNThisCity #sweatstagram #LongHair #ReturnOfTheMane #HalHigdon #GoTheDistance #NewtonRunning #STR #RockinWarrior @runnercrate @IndigoAthletics @instarunners #IGrunners #runnersofinstagram #RunnersWorld #NoFilter #NotFiltered
