#chimarathon

MEDAL MONDAY!!! Yesterday I was able to complete my 4th Chicago Marathon. This was by far, my best time on this course at 4:13. I appreciate every moment of it. It was an AMAZING SUFFERING. This #chimarathon is the event that has inspired me to engage in endurance sports. I remembered watching it in the documentary film, spirit of the marathon and has been dreaming of it ever since. So to be part of it, rekindles so much memories, from dreaming to realizing. Yup! Dream first, then you REALIZE it. It is indeed, great to be living. Let us enjoy every moment of it! Thanks always to my @on_running @rudyprojectna @surphyto @honeystinger family for your support and to be given the chance to represent the brands in major races like this. Congratulations to all finishers, as well as supporters, and thank you to all volunteers! 😊😊😊 #onruncrew #onrunning #rudyprojectna #rudyproject #runonclouds #surphytoperformance #surphyto #altred #honeystinger #medalmonday #hshive (at Chicago Marathon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CU5eDLsL3a8/?utm_medium=tumblr

Cheering on the marathon from a new perspective. GO RUNNERS. #chicago #marathon #chimarathon (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CU2cNY4rCZY/?utm_medium=tumblr

As has been stated before, there is a direct relationship to the amount of slobber produced by large dog 🐕 on a run and how awesome it was: “SO MUCH RUNNING SO MUCH SLOBBER SO MUCH AWESOME 14/10” It was me, large dog, and some nice #pelotonoutdoor runs this muggy morning...as weird as it sounds I am practicing running slow (!) so I actually train the right systems during this #chimarathon training cycle. I am very proud that I kept to a 9:30 pace and didn’t crank it up, but I am going to have to work on not slowly speeding up during those middle miles (see splits for reference). Now I would like to sing the praises of this new pocket bra I just ordered from Amazon. I have always been skeptical about these bras with the big phone pocket in the back, thinking my big arse phone would just bounce around and bother me. Not with this one—it stayed out and I freaking forgot it was even in there. For shorter runs like this where I don’t feel like wearing my race belt, this bra will work out just fine. We have another easy run on tap for tomorrow; let’s see if I can run slow again 😆 (at McHenry County, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CP3NjuxHzGn/?utm_medium=tumblr

I don’t normally do a 6 mile treadmill run on a Saturday...but when I do it’s because I’m preparing for my new marathon training plan that has me running an easy 6 every. single. Saturday until forever. Ok, maybe not forever, but at least until the #chimarathon hits in October. My new plan has me running both Saturday (easy 6) and Sunday (long run), which is something I haven’t done in many years during training....so I thought I’d “practice” these double weekend runs before official training begins on 6/21. Speaking of practice, workout supervisor 🐶 is practicing her reviews of my runs again: 👇🏻 “How much can one woman talk about a training plan sheesh 1.07/10” • • • • • • • • • • • • #workoutsupervisor #runnersofinstagram #runnerscommunity #womensrunningcommunity #instarunners #fitfam #fitnessjourney #weightlossjourney #facetiouslyfit #runners #running #runstagram #treadmillworkout #treadmillrunning #runnergirl #getitdone #justdothething #keepshowingup #marathonrunner #halfmarathonrunner #irunthisbody #fitnessgirl #runchat #runlikeagirl #bemonumental #marathontraining #peloton #pelotonrunners (at McHenry County, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPwO1e2nIZn/?utm_medium=tumblr

That is the face of someone who generated her #chimarathon training plan in her training app and realized it has her running 13-15 mile long runs for the next month or so...*sob* If anyone needs me for the next four months, I’ll be running...leave a message. 🙄 You can find the workout supervisors for today supervising with their eyes closed and giving my workout a bad review: “So much working out so much horribleness 2.75/10” • • • • • • • • • • • #runnersofinstagram #runnerscommunity #runningcommunity #instarunners #womensrunningcommunity #runnerswhobike #runnerswholift #justdothething #runners #running #crosstraining #weightlossjourney #fitnessjourney #getitdone #rungram #strongissexy #runnergirl #workoutsupervisor #keepshowingup #marathonrunner #facetiouslyfit #fitnessgirl #runchat #peloton #pelotoncommunity #onepeloton #pelotonstrength #bemonumental #pelopups (at McHenry County, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPglNrNHLpL/?utm_medium=tumblr

I promised myself I wouldn’t run my long runs too fast anymore and apparently I am horrible at keeping promises to myself. 🤷‍♀️ Hit my 200th #onepeloton run, tho, so there’s that. Going to have to get that under control if I want to nail a sub-4 and not be over trained on race day (#chimarathon here I come!) Large dog 🐕 came with for the first three miles but then he had to go to the groomer’s....he obviously hasn’t forgiven me for that transgression👇🏻 “omg we stopped running and then made dad take me to that horrible place can’t even look at her 1/10” • • • • • • • • • • • • #runnersofinstagram #runnerscommunity #womensrunningcommunity #instarunners #fitfam #fitnessjourney #weightlossjourney #facetiouslyfit #runners #running #runstagram #runnergirl #getitdone #justdothething #keepshowingup #marathonrunner #irunthisbody #fitnessgirl #runchat #runlikeagirl #marathontraining #runrunrun #runningwithdogs #bemonumental #peloton #pelotonoutdoor #pelotoncommunity #pelopups (at McHenry County, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPd1owuHEux/?utm_medium=tumblr
