It was hill day this morning at 6am. I did a 7 min run and then 5 hills.. it felt pretty awesome to feel strong at the end. My stubbornness against running is usually because I'm hearing others ask me about long distance or adventure races. My favorite is mid distance and getting faster at 1 to 3.1 miles. It reminds me of conpetition in college and highschool. I would rather run hill repeats or pace laps... than worry about how many miles I did. My goal to get at least 1 mile in at the 7min pace , and then hit 10 of these hills strong. I'll keep you posted 😊💥 #cscs #running #hillrunning #middistance #retiredrunner #collegerunner #nottooold (at Leawood, Kansas) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_2hRPpplFd/?igshid=4isskfjg3r6k

Celebrating the start of marathon weekend by: 1 not staying at a Disney resort, 2 enjoying some lemoncello but not the good kind and, 3 by not running in any race for the first time in 7 years! But I get to spend it with my husband on our staycation minimoon!! #retiredrunner #wdwmarathonweekend #minimoonwithmyhusband #universalsportofinobay https://www.instagram.com/p/BsbdddWAbAXrwCknxfpfCGWGQrv4XmymvoggII0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1hbi416nym70n

Three weeks ago I ended my running career. I had no want to continue running but I did want to stay in shape. I decided to take up lifting with our throws coaches for a change in scenery. I still have the distance runner body but I do think I have started to put on muscle with lifting four days a week. I'm by no means @mrsminitank though 😜 #girlsthatlift #weights #fitness #retiredrunner
