188. F is for fitness! Ignore the miles my Vivofit came up with... This was 3 miles w/ a 2 lap warm up. Yes! And #weighin... Up 0.8lbs, not horrible for after a holiday weekend! #fitness #running #trainingforthecrim #halhigdonhalfmarathontraining #fmsphotoaday #fms_fisfor #project366

187. E is for exercise! No part of me wanted to run tonight. But I did it. 3 miles of speedplay. 1st mile was 2 laps walking, 1 lap running = 13 minutes. 2nd mile was 1 lap walking, 2 laps running = 11 minutes. 3rd mile was 1 lap walking, the rest running = 10:49! #running #halhigdonhalfmarathontraining #exercise #eggsaresides #bacon #fmsphotoaday #fms_eisfor #project366

Happy Easter everyone! We dyed eggs yesterday, a first for my daughter since she's officially old enough to try and decorate by herself 😊 8 miles in the books for today. Wore my ultra reflective tights since it was another 4 AM run. Felt pretty good but finished slower than I would have liked (1:10). The distance increases are starting to catch up to me. My legs seem to fatigue a lot towards the end now. Off to shower and get the kids ready for brunch! Dad has to work today but is meeting us for the brunch at a great place called Nick's. Can't wait to get my grub on! #AMrunning #morningrun #longrun #halhigdonhalfmarathontraining #motherrunner #run #runblr #runblogger #fitmom #momswhorun #momsrunthistown

It's finally feeling like spring! 🌷🌼 It was very warm today at 5 AM so I ran in capris and a tee. I probably could've gone with a tank and shorts as I was quite hot a few minutes into the run 💧 Relaxed 3 followed by some core and arm work. Legs felt heavy from yesterday's workout so this wasn't too much fun to run. At least my pace remained consistent. #run #runblr #instarunner #runnersofinstagram #motherrunner #morningrunning #fitmom #halhigdonhalfmarathontraining

Up earlier than usual today. I wanted to get my long run out of the way early so that I wouldn't lose blow it off later. I tend to lose motivation as the day wears on. I needed to be done before 6 so I was out the door by 4:15. It probably helped that my son was up at 3:30 so I was awake and ready to run with enough of a time cushion. 7 miles out and back in the dark. I tried to be as bright as possible since I'd be running on the road for a portion of the run. Thankfully there aren't many cars out at 4 AM on a Sunday morning. I tried to average 8:30 and came close at 8:37. Happy with what I did considering it's been almost a year since I've run 7 miles. #halhigdontraining #halhigdonhalfmarathontraining #run #runblr #fitmom #momswhorun #longrunsunday #motherrunner #mrtt #momsrunthistown #runnersofinstagram #instarunner

Cold one today. We're supposed to get a snow storm tomorrow after the 60-70 degree weather we've had all week. 3 miles. Nothing fancy. Kept it easy but my splits were all over the place. At least my average pace came out to my goal easy pace for today. #halhigdonhalfmarathontraining #halhigdontraining #run #runblr #momswhorun #fitmom #motherrunner #runnersofinstagram #instarunner

Saw some deer in our neighborhood before I started my run. Having grown up in Southern California I sometimes forget wildlife exist, lol. Living in MD sure is different than living in the Inland Empire. 3 miles today. They were supposed to be race pace miles but that didn't happen. I tried to push as hard as I could but without being able to breathe properly (yay sinus cold), I felt like I couldn't get enough air. I was able to pull off negative splits, though. Nothing annoys me more than not being able to do what I set out to do. I know not every run can be a great run but that doesn't make it suck any less. #run #runblr # runnersofig #runnersofinstagram #motherrunner #fitmom #momswhorun #momswhoworkout #racepacerun #sickrunning #halhigdontraining #halhigdonhalfmarathontraining
