#runpeakerrun

Finished! . First #MPC challenge for 2019 and my second half marathon is in the tank! Feeling proud, especially considering the cold temps and my chest cold nonsense - 15°F was a bit much. 🥶🥶❄️ . I’ve renamed this race the “Zion Nasal Drip Half Marathon”. 😪😎 . And here are some photos of all the parts I DO like about the running/race world. And lots to see in my insta stories/highlights. . . #thegoodlife #mypeakchallenge #runpeakerrun #zionhalf #txpeakers @ntxpeakers @mypeakchallenge (at Zion National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuPodljnPyJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=iqtkaxbytoc

A long run yesterday followed by leg day today meant loads of epsom salt and peppermint oil tonight. 🥶 Tomorrow’s going to hurt! Day 1 of MPC 2019 is in the bag with just 19 days until the next half marathon. 😎💪🏻🏃🏻‍♀️ . #MPC2019 #txpeakers #runpeakerrun @ntxpeakers @mypeakchallenge @samheughan @valbo00 (at Dallas, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bte_yMbnSzq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1kl2xj3isy26a

Lindsey thinks my costume might be flawed for the race tomorrow. No? 🤷🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️ . #monsterdash #halfmarathon #runpeakerrun @mplsmomma @mplspappa (at Minneapolis, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpa3qW_HXxX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=p2n8cgg1r34y

I am one sexy running beast 😂💦💦 . Rocked out the conference 5k on 4 hours sleep repping my @mypeakchallenge gear. AND now you get my Florida Hair for entertainment. . #thegoodlife #runpeakerrun #mpc2018 #mswarrior (at Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin)

First EVER 5k? Done...with added inflatables! So much fun with @englandpeakers today at the #colorobstaclerush #Sheffield run today! Thanks @mypeakchallenge for bringing this gang into my life and helping me push myself to try new challenges (including powder removal...) 🏃🏻‍♀️🎖️ #firsttimerunner #runpeakerrun #englandpeakers2018 #mypeakchallenge #mpc2018 #obstaclecourse #colorrun #medal #swag (at Rother Valley Country Park)

Wiked Wine Run 5K yesterday evening. . It was HOT and also hot. Which meant not much running, but we crossed the final line running and with smiles. I met my first fellow Peaker (visiting from Maryland) and worked on a non-physical challenge with great laughs. Did I mention it was kinda hot? . So here is my happy, sweaty, tomato faced self with Marianne at the finish and few others t-shirts we loved. . Before #mpc2018 I would never have posted unflattering photos of myself, especially after a run or workout. Today, what I see in these photos is pride, progress, and fun. . That’s good stuff Maynard. 💪🏻🏃🏻‍♀️😎 . #runpeakerrun #peakereffect @mypeakchallenge @ntxpeakers (at Mitas Hill Vineyard)

2pm run to “temper myself like an egg” in the budding heat. “It’s only 89°!” I said. “I’ll do a quick 3 miles.” I said. . It was pretty damn terrible. And not really a run. AND I know better. So here’s the only photo I managed while stopping to let the yellow spots fade. . Takeaways: be more patient with my running progress (this one has not come easy) and be smarter in the heat this summer. . I’ma go melt into an ice bath now. 😥 . #mswarrior #mpc2018 #runpeakerrun? 🤷🏻‍♀️ (at Kiest Park)

Today’s success: 3 soggy miles in 30 minutes! . I’m learning to be patient with my post-camino recovery and trying to align my eagerness with my physical self. .. This morning I focused on my stride, breathing, and being good to my feet and achilles. The result was my best pace and heart rate results so far! Progress feels great! #maynot #runpeakerrun #mpc2018 @ntxpeakers @runpeakerrun @mypeakchallenge (at Dallas, Texas)
