I didn't run my race plan...I ran FASTER than my race plan 😄 The weather gods were with us, the race day energy was fantastic, and it was a JOY to see so many smiling Snack Attackers ready to run their hearts out this morning 💛💛🏃‍♀️🍩😎 #teamsnackattack #runhardsnackhard @teamsnackattack @statesmancap10k

Pretty and sweaty and strong all at the same time 😘 • • I had my first session with @rungryhealthcoach yesterday and am so excited to be working with her on my goals and nutrition! During our conversation I said I thought when I'm NOT tracking my nutrition I eat too many calories. Later in the day I realized I haven't tracked since December and my weight has stayed steady, so clearly that's not the case. Years of feeling bad about my body and not feeling in control of what I'm eating have me still assuming that I'm "bad" at eating healthfully. So first things first, it's time to let go of that shame I've been carrying around in a corner of my brain and instead time to take the emphasis off calories and put it on finding foods that serve my body 🙏💛

👆 Yes Emily and I showed up in matching jackets and @goodr sunglasses 😎🙈 We got several cheers from the runners so clearly our snacking message resonates 🍩😂 So proud of all my Snack Attackers that ran the @longhornrun 10k this weekend! @emilymcassidy @teamsnackattack #runhardsnackhard • • • #teamsnackattack #runhardsnackhard #10ktraining #marathontraining #neverstoprunning #irunthisbody #runnerscommunity #runaustin #fitfam #werunsocial #sweatismagic #healthyisthenewskinny #bodypositive #instarunners

If three years ago you had told me I'd be in a running group let alone START a running group let alone HAVE MERCH for that running group... 😵😄😎 #teamsnackattack #runhardsnackhard • • • #teamsnackattack #runhardsnackhard #10ktraining #marathontraining #neverstoprunning #irunthisbody #chicagomarathon #runnerscommunity #runaustin #fitfam #werunsocial #sweatismagic #healthyisthenewskinny #bodypositive #instarunners

Coach @ultracoop, "You're definitely strong enough to do a pull up." Me, "No one's ever said that to me before." 😝🤗 #pullupquest #pullups #notstrongforagirljuststrong #teamsnackattack #motiv8hf (at Motiv8 Health and Fitness)

Hey, remember how I said I wanted to do a pull up? Well I ran a marathon a few days after that and got distracted. But I'm back at it! The pull up assist band is my new best friend #pullupquest #pullups #notstrongforagirljuststrong #motiv8hf (at Motiv8 Health and Fitness)

By far my favorite photo from Sunday's marathon. I needed a hug and my friends were there to give me one 💛💛 #teamsnackattack #austinmarathon #neverstoprunning #irunthisbody #runnerscommunity #runaustin #fitfam #werunsocial #sweatismagic

You see that smile on my face? That was before I knew how hard today was going to be. I started considering exit strategies and wondering what people's reactions would be upon hearing I quit when I was only at mile 13. That's the kind of thinking I expect at mile 20, never so early as 13. But in the end I crossed the finish line more thankful than ever for the support of my friends and family, and also with a vow to never run a marathon if it's over 70 degrees again 😝 #austinmarathon #teamsnackattack #runhardsnackhard #neverstoprunning #irunthisbody #runnerscommunity #runaustin #fitfam #werunsocial #sweatismagic

When Teresa and I first ran the Austin half two years ago it was just us, but now I know 17 people who are running the half or the full tomorrow, plus more people cheering us on. Our Snack Attack family and running community has grown so much! Good luck to all the runners tomorrow! 💛💛 #austinmarathon #austinhalfmarathon #teamsnackattack #marathontraining #neverstoprunning #irunthisbody #runnerscommunity #runaustin #fitfam #werunsocial #sweatismagic

Can you do a pull up? Because I can't. Haven't done a single one, not even when they made us try in gym class. It's not even something I wished I could do because it just felt impossible. Not even an option. But there was a day a marathon felt that way and now I'm getting ready to run my third. So. This is Day One of my quest to do a pull up 👊💪🙏 #pullupquest #pullups #notstrongforagirljuststrong #motiv8hf

YOU GUYS. Can you even believe that tiny new Team Snack Attack member?? 😍😭 #teamsnackattack @emilymcassidy

God bless @roguerunning for putting on their annual Austin Marathon Prep and Pump talk. It's been a hard week and after the Houston marathon I needed a mental break so it's been hard to remember I have another marathon coming my way. But this talk got me refocused and I realized I'm looking forward to running 26.2 miles of these Austin streets #austinmarathon #roguerunning #teamsnackattack #marathontraining #neverstoprunning #irunthisbody #runnerscommunity #runaustin #sweatismagic

Mayor Adler gets it ✊️

The face of a girl delighted to be running 13.1 instead of 26.2 😎😂 A beautiful morning and a new half marathon PR! #3mhalfmarathon #teamsnackattack #marathontraining #neverstoprunning #irunthisbody #runnerscommunity #runaustin #sweatismagic

What a day y'all. It makes no sense that women still have to shout to be heard but what an amazing experience to march with the thousands in Austin and the thousands more across the world #whyimarch #forallwomankind #womensmarch #marchonaustin (at Downtown Austin)

Pretty sure if I see any familiar face after mile 20 of a marathon I'm going to cry, but lucky for me it was these three beautiful souls that greeted me at mile 22 last weekend. They drove all the way to Houston just to cheer us on, and in the months leading up offered so much support by joining me on runs, sweating alongside me at boot camp, and listening to any doubts or worries of mine. They are always encouraging and always supportive and always bring people together. I couldn't ask for a better group of friends ❤ #teamsnackattack #badassladygang #marathontraining #neverstoprunning #girlgang #irunthisbody #runnerscommunity #fitfam #werunsocial
