Today was the longest 5 miles I’ve ever run. 🏃‍♀️ And that’s all I have to say about that. #shakarunner #findyourhappypace #marathontraining #futurebostonmarathoner #f2cnutrition #hardcoeur #runningmotivation https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw8mBESjlvC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=vp7pm7ocw9tw

5 miles on the treadmill 🏃‍♀️ made awesome by my discovery of the show House on Amazon Prime Video. I think this will be my third time watching the series, but my first time watching it to pass the time working out 💪. I wanted to sneak in another mile (and a little more of the episode) but had to call it so I wasn’t late to work. Looking forward to my next work out so I can continue my binge watching 📺 #ShakaRunner #findyourhappypace #marathontraining #futurebostonmarathoner #runforfun #womensrunningcommunity #nikeshoes #nikewomen #runinrabbit #f2cnutrition #hardcoeur #2xu https://www.instagram.com/p/BvxGfpaDGpJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=l5rmqu2iw7qt

16.3 mile run! Longest training run. The .3 was to replicate the ever annoying “extra” mileage at the end of the race that can really mess with your mind... And because I was .3 miles short of my house. 😂 The last couple of miles all I could think about was salt and soda (that’s always my craving) and so when I got home I grabbed my soda and some Pringle’s and jumped into my hot tub. Ahh.... I spent some time reflecting on my run since this is my last long one until my marathon, and I was overall happy. I was happy with my pace, my physical and mental strength and the fact that I was able to fuel and hydrate properly. So for today, I am feeling confident about my marathon... but I still have 3 weeks until the gun does off so I have plenty of time to panic, freak out and question my sanity. 😂. #shakarunner #findyourhappypace #findyourpodium #marathontraining #futurebostonmarathoner #bostonrunners #runforfun #runforfitness #runbig #f2cnutrition #runinrabbit #runyourheartout #runnersofinstagram #runnergirl https://www.instagram.com/p/BslrpM2Bz1p/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1nh0hhtkmz9p3

Sweet 16!!! Rocked my first ever solo 16 mile run. You could say I was pretty stoked and VERY tired when I finished. Being somewhat new to running that distance in my neighborhood I opted for part of a route I’ve done on my bike and it turned out to have 850ft of elevation gain. Needless to say, I am so ready to put my feet up, EAT and watch football! #shakarunner #findyourhappypace #findyourpodium #marathontraining #futurebostonmarathoner #sweet16 #16miles #runforfun #runforlife #f2cnutrition #runinrabbit https://www.instagram.com/p/BsB96-hjJwZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ukkctz63cs3e

Oh darn! I forgot to post this after my run. I had it cued up and ready to go and I totally forgot to hit share. Well anyway, here’s my post. 🔹🔹🔹🔹 Today I started out on my usual 10K run course and a mile in I decided to totally change it up. So my run went a little something like this... 🔹 1) 5K warm up 🔹 2) 3 x 1 mile repeats 🔹 3) 1/2 mile cool down. 🔹 I was super stoked about my mile repeat pace (7:40, 7:36, 7:20) and even though it was tough I had so much fun. 👍💪😁... So much fun that I was excited to share with you all this morning in hopes that my excitement would rub off and give you the boost you’d need to get through your workout. And now it’s too late because I forgot to post!!! Ahh!!!! Well hopefully this carries into tomorrow and you all can crush your workouts tomorrow!! 🤙👍🙌👏🤘#ShakaRunner #findyourhappypace #findyourpodium #marathontraining #futurebostonmarathoner #milerepeats #irunforfun #runforlife #runstyle #f2cnutrition https://www.instagram.com/p/BrmEZZijpdj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=z1rzyka1ky3f

Track Tuesday! 🔹 .5 mile warm up. 🔹 5 x 400m 1:44, 1:39, 1:33, 1:33, 1:34 🔹 .5 mile cool down 🔹 I’ll call that a success!!! #shakarunner #findyourhappypace #findyourpodium #marathontraining #futurebostonmarathoner #tracktuesday https://www.instagram.com/p/BrRgw2Hjq1l/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=4cc85s5tsc1h

Throw back Thursday. Picture on the left is from my first half marathon. Picture on the right is from my first 5K. And the picture in the middle is from almost 8 years ago when I visited Boston before I’d even started racing. Little did I know that those races would lead me to where I am today. And little did I know that I’d be chasing the dream of seeing that turtle when I finish the Boston Marathon. #shakarunner #findyourhappypace #findyourpodium #marathontraining #futurebostonmarathoner #chasingdreams #crushinggoals #f2cnutrition #hardcoeur #runinrabbit https://www.instagram.com/p/BpYGn_ZjAHr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1x4vwmikbfs92

Well it’s still hot in the inland empire! Omg today’s 8 mile run was NOT easy. Heavy tired legs. Lungs that didn’t want to keep up. And somehow despite it being nearly October it was in the 80s during my run! Oh well. It wasn’t pretty and it definitely wasn’t fast but it’s done. And now I can watch FOOTBALL! #shakarunner #findyourhappypace #findyourpodium #marathontraining #futurebostonmarathoner #8mile #runbig #runinrabbit #hardcoeur #f2cnutrition #nolimitsrunning #runaloha #womensrunningcommunity #womensrunningcommunity #irunforfun #3athletewadj https://www.instagram.com/p/BoW-lqilDCZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=8mzm1bt69djg
