Another training run with a medal in the books! . . I convinced @naomi_gal to sign up and run with me, even though the Leesburg 20k has all the ingredients that could spell disaster for a race 😂! It’s and out and back on the W&OD trail in August. I mean, enough said, right? But, let me tell ya, if anyone can take those ingredients and make an amazing race Commonwealth Race Management/Potomac River Running can! The Leesburg 20k is the prime example of great course planning and fantastic management! . . We drove out early, picked up our bibs, then hit the trail for 5 “warm up” miles... it really is a warm up for me as it’s not really a joke anymore that I don’t hit my stride in a run until we’re about 6-7 miles in. It’s just true. Magic robot legs are made for distance 😂. Then we crushed the 20k training run! It was hot, we were tired, and this training cycle feels like it’s been going on forever, but I know that we’re going to be so ready for great races and, more importantly, a fun time, in Chicago! . . #showyourpr #leesburg20k #teamsparkle #goodr #playgoodr #sportsbrasquad #race #raceasatrainingrun #20k #intervalrunner #marathontraining (at Leesburg, Virginia)

Ten super hot, humid miles as we tried to slow down this morning with @celiac_runner! . . How fun are the messages on my box of @goodr sunglasses! They really are the goodrest company out there! I ordered 10 pairs of their newest colorway to share with my friends! But next time I know to order more than 10!!! . . #intervalrunning #runchat #goodr #playgoodr #rungoodr #headsweats #teamsparkle #gallowaymethod #runwalkrun #longrun

#twinningiswinning at the Devil Dog Double today! What started off as a very humid morning, turned into a down right sunny sweat fest! Even the 6:40am start time didn’t keep us cool, as the temp climbed into the 80s during the morning! . . I was so lucky to run with @naomi_gal and Scott today! I’m not sure I would have made it through without them! Second fastest 5 miler, followed by a very hard, hot half marathon! . . No joke, throughout the last part of the race, when we were feeling like death, I kept saying “we may feel awful, but we looks super cute!” All thanks to @sparkleathletic, @sarahmariedesignstudio, and @goodr! . . #teamsparkle #playgoodr #sarahmariedesignstudio #bestrunningfriends #brf #runwiththemarines #devildogdouble #running #intervalrunning #gallowaymethod

The GW Parkway Ten Miler was made for PRs today! . @naomi_gal CRUSHED our Reston time, running in the 1:14s! I cruised in descending my last 4 miles to a solid low 1:17! . This is crazy to me, last year this race was my HUGE and UNEXPECTED PR of 1:20:25, so to be a full THREE minutes under that in a year is just insane! I attribute this years improvement to a few big changes in my training: 1️⃣ more mileage 2️⃣ training with a faster buddy 3️⃣ more consistent outdoor running 4️⃣ changing my mindset . I have to quote @orangevisor here “Hard is Possible” . #pr #gwparkwayclassic #running #intervalrunner #hardispossible #teamintraining #teamsparkle #saucony #runnergirl #goodr #playgoodr #pacersrunning (at Parkway Classic Finish Line!)

Finally back to posting and I (@missylizzy) took some time to write up my race from the weekend! Check it out!! {link in bio} . . #runner #blog #racerecap #runnersmarathonofreston #reston #teamsparkle #saucony #playgoodr

We brought our “kids” along today! 10 miles, slower but better than yesterday to start off April with a bang! . . . #mileslogged #running #intervalrunner #strollerrun #puprun #tenmiles #playgoodr (at Vienna, Virginia)

Now, while these things are all true, they are only applicable if you make the mistake of running like a basic bitch.  If you really want to enjoy a run in Vegas, you have to run like the champion you know you can be.  You have to run goodr.
