#keepshowingup

Time for another #miletimetrial to assess progress. About a month ago I clocked a 6:16. Since then I've done #chivirtualtri plus two #5k races. Then I hit a fitness wall about a week or so ago. All my performance stats went to crap and my Garmin was giving me the dreaded "Unproductive" indicator every day. When I see that on the watch for one day, no big deal, but when I see it every day for a week, yeah something is out of whack. I finally decided to take the past weekend off and now I'm building back. But I'm clearly not all the way back. Thanks weird thing is, today's 6:30 was evenly paced the whole way, and I always felt like there was another gear there...but I just couldn't get to it. Then when I finished I was only modestly winded. I recovered quickly after it too, then worked some bleachers and cooled down, barely beating the big storm that rolled in. Anyway, a few years ago when I trained hard for the mile and got down to a 5:32, I collapsed on the turf when I finished with my lungs and legs on fire. Oh well, all I can do is #keepshowingup and #puttinginthework. I have to believe that breakthrough will come at some point. #runblr #fitblr #fallrunning #trackworkout #timetrial #masterstrackathlete #xctraining #mastersxcrunner (at Wilbert Tucker Woodson High School) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFvehMOHgrR/?igshid=1d5n6087wcx5l

Training is going strong for this weekends #ShelterinPlaceFamily5k! Since we started racing 9 weeks ago, @artiejohann has won twice with a PR of 21:47. I won 6 times with a PR of 21:21. Literally 10s of fans have showed up for the best physically distant sporting event in LA. We’ve taken two weeks off racing, but the training has continued. We’re finishing our 5k series this Saturday with our first ever head-to-head battle as their Aunt Hey-Hey watches the kids. The last four races have raised $5158 for charity as we took bets on each race and donated that money, plus matching amounts, to the East LA YMCA, Public Counsel Debtors Assistance, Every Mother Counts, and the Navajo Nation Covid-19 Relief Fund. The Grand Championship will raise money for the Westside Food Bank in LA and @chrisreddis Covid-19 Protest Relief fund to help those affected by covid-19 or other ailments/injuries after protesting for the Black Lives Matter movement. Donate directly to either charity and let us know who you bet on and how much, or Venmo us (in bio). #5k #funraising #family5k #championship #racing #livesports #sportsbetting #raceweek #protest #keepshowingup #professionaltriathlete #motherrunner #charitypartner https://www.instagram.com/p/CBRU9cMhuxy/?igshid=1olteujqjibxk

@sarahsophief - Someone you love has had an abortion. 1 in 4 people will have an abortion in their lifetimes. The majority of these people are parents already. I had an abortion when I was a teenager. #youknowme. I went on to finish college. Go to law school. Work in the Justice space. I met my partner and went on to have three kids. The bans we are seeing in places likes Georgia & Alabama are designed specifically to challenge #Roe. They are designed specifically to disenfranchise poor, Black & Brown people. They are designed specifically to force more white women to have babies. They are designed to reinforce gender roles and keep women subservient to men. They are designed specifically to maintain the status quo. If you are PISSED, here are a few actions: 1) donate & support: @yellowfund (link in bio), @abortionfunds, @sistersong_woc, @fairfightaction, @arc_southeast, @prochoiceamerica, @feministcenter ... to name a few. A bigger list coming soon. 2) If you live in a state passing a restrictive abortion law CALL YOUR REPS nonstop! 3) Pay attention to federal judicial appointments & call your senators to tell them to vote no if the judge is anti-choice. 4) Tell your story if you are comfortable. Use the #youknowme hashtag. We should have to lay bare our personal lives... yet here we are. Our stories are powerful & normalize abortion & reproductive care. 4) VOTE & prioritize reproductive rights & justice in 2020. 5) Volunteer to be a clinic escort. 6) MEN! Show support online & in your relationships. Speak up. Have you supported a partner, friend, family member in an abortion? Tell your story! Add more actions in comments! #keepshowingup #stayhuman #youknowme T-shirt from our friends at @shoutyourabortion - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/BxgE_KdhR8N/?igshid=12yifc944wpqs

THIS IS THE EPITOME OF AN "UNDUE BURDEN" AND IS THUS UNCONSTITUTIONAL. Banning and criminalizing abortion is designed to specifically to disenfranchise poor, Black & Brown people. Designed specifically to force more white women to have babies. Designed to reinforce gender roles and keep women subservient to men. Designed to disenfranchise trans and non-binary people. Designed specifically to maintain the status quo. Missouri could become the first state in the country with NO health care center that provides abortions. This could happen in the next 72 hours. If you are PISSED, here are a few actions: 1) DONATE to GATEWAY WOMEN’S ACCESS FUND (@gwafund) : WHO PROVIDE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO MISSOURI RESIDENTS WHO CANNOT AFFORD THE FULL COST OF ABORTION CARE. (LINK IN STORIES) 2) Missouri Residents: Rally on Thursday at 11:30 pm CT in St. Louis: Luther Ely Smith Park 11 N 4th St Saint LouisMO 63102 3) Watch this space for more actions. #gloriasteinem #stayhuman #keepshowingup #stopthebans #emergencyresponse https://www.instagram.com/p/ByCs6p7FxqI/?igshid=irk6ymrh7y1z

Via @shaunking: They did this during slavery. They did this during the slaughter of Native Americans. They’re doing it right now. They dehumanize people to justify their slaughter and oppression. Don’t say what we’re seeing right now is un-American. It’s painfully American. #familiesbelongtogether #wherearethemissingchildren #abolishice #resist #keepshowingup #stayhuman #endfamilyseparation #wherearethechildren #marchforstolenchildren Thank you @sarahsophief
