5.5 miles + 210 lunges = FriYAY!
Didn’t find the mountain lion that’s roaming around, but did find remnants of a fire.
Such a beautiful day today, I had to get outside and soak up as much vitamin D as I could! ☀️
Broke 75 miles for the month today! 🎊🎉🎊

I title this long run “you can’t win them all”. 🤣
16 easy (not easy) miles on undoubtably a gorgeous (and too hot) morning. I had 17 scheduled but I cut my run a tad short. I’m not bothered about it, it was the right move!
Highlights were weaving through wild turkeys (not pictured), a deer close enough to pet (swipe), and the beautiful day! ❤️

10 more stroller miles this morning, making 43 stroller miles for the week. That's a record and one I hope not to equal or exceed any time soon. Since we're traveling tomorrow, I'll be missing my long run this week, and I wanted to get in a medium long run today. I originally planned on 12, but decided to cut it to 10. I am physically and mentally worn out by all the stroller running this week. In any case, I'm looking forward to being in the tropics by tomorrow night. 🌴🍹🐠🏝🌊🏖
Friday Hill Repeats ⛰ 🏃🏻♀️👟💨🥵
My coach instructed a 30 minute warmup followed by 8 X 200 meter hill repeats with equal recovery jog backs. I did my best to throw down the hammer and am pleased with the outcome! (See my IG story for paces hit!)
I had so much fun and love a challenge, but that was wooorkkkk! Especially considering my legs are like molasses in the thick of marathon training. Happy the cooldown was only a mile to wrap things up. Onwards and upwards….literally! 😂🙌🏻
Happy Fri-yay!! 🤩

In my 20s I never thought I’d be running because I really REALLY like it.
Wearing Nike shorts and sports bra in public was a dream that I’d never thought would come true. Here I am after 2 c-sections rocking my diastasis recti and not giving F!
Years ago Nike had an amazing commercial, that began with a phrase ‘I became a fan of running!’ This phrase struck a chord and for years I’ve been trying to work up to the point when I can actually say this about myself. Because deep down inside I knew I was bad at running. I was struggling and I plain hated it.
Here I am at 35, doing my running meditation with Nike Run Club app and finally am able to truly and surely say - I AM A FAN!
Every run, every workout is a celebration of amazing things our bodies (and mind) can do! And STRUGGLING is a successful practice of not giving up! #runcim #roadtocim #nikerunclub
Day 73 on the #road2cim called for 30 min of hill repeats (for me that meant 10 total breath-sucking uphill reps) 😤💨🏃🏾♀️on Mt. Davis ⛰️
What does that number 4.3 mean? Garmin measures my Training Effect from 0 to 5, which tells me how a specific activity has impacted my overall training. 4.3/5 means that I had spent a significant amount of time above my lactate threshold during this difficult workout, which is expected to improve my V02 max 🤔🤔🤔 IYKYK 😂 This just means this workout is training my body to make this hardass effort running feel easier and that I am able to keep running like a bat outta hell 🦇🔥😂

Eight miles for this Friday. Easy miles since I’m doing an 18 mile long run tomorrow. Perfect weather conditions for a run! #road2cim #marathontraining #marathon #halfmarathontraining #friday #fridayrun #runningmotivation #runningcommunity
What’s happening? What have I missed?
I’ve been engulfed in a bubble of long miles, very early mornings, all kinds of recovery teas, massage table, and just like that, Mondays turn into Sundays very quickly.
Rather than bore you on by writing about workouts and how every fiber of my body hurts, just swipe ⏩ for mileage info.
Mileage will certainly keep going up as I approach “peak week”. All I have to do is stay healthy 🤓
This morning I came across Molly Seidel’s post ⏩. Even for the best of the best Olympic marathoners the training cycle is brutal, exhilarating, and unforgiving. All at the same time. It’s comforting to read things like that from the best runners.
“…and even when the clouds roll back in you know there’s hope on the other side of this grind”
Marathon training = Life journey

60 min EZ with a fall cold 🤧🤧 also, need advice 👇🏼
I’m starting to feel “overtrained” symptoms of higher HR during my easy pace, less sleep, falling out of love with running, etc. in short, I’m just not “feeling” running anymore.
Any advice as marathon training continues? My only thought is to decrease my weekly mileage and focus on more rest. 🤷🏼♀️

First workout on track in this training cycle. Feeling humble but hungry for more hard work.
Training is not about good or bad workout. Training is about doing the best you can on every given day.
5x1200 /w 400 jog
Weather ~ 32F ☀️
Done ✅ is always better then perfect. Because aiming for perfect often times makes it not done at all.
First run done ✅
Later today strength 🏋🏻♀️ and double run 🏃🏻♀️
When you are working on reaching big goal, eliminate distractions — say no to lesser goals — keep eyes 👀 on the prize. Remember that you have a bigger fish 🐠 fry 😜
Like and comments are highly appreciated 😀❤️

Apparently I should have turned left in the first picture. The white blazes across the boulder field spurred me on, but it seems they marked the corridor boundary and not the trail itself. With a little GPS and bush-whacking I righted myself again and made it to Caledonia State Park for another 6 miles. #mymorningrun #road2cim #appalachiantrail
The marathon doesn’t owe you anything, which makes it the perfect vessel in which to pour your everything.

6 easy on dead legs. The runs where I’m chasing the sunset are my absolute favorites.

Yesterday’s lactate threshold session - the after photos! 🏃🏻♀️👟💨🥵
My coach had called for a long session for me which happened after a full day’s work. It went like:
👟2 mile warmup
👟3.5 miles between 7:25-7:35 min./mile pace followed by 3 mins. 30 secs. rest
👟2.5 miles same pace followed by 2 mins. 30 secs. rest
👟1.5 miles same pace
👟Minimum of 1 mile cooldown
Although I had to haul 🍑 to the restroom in between the first set (it happens and I quickly resumed right where I left off!), I hit 7:37 average pace for the 3.5 miles, 7:19 average pace for the 2.5 miles, and 7:41 average pace for the 1.5 miles. My overall average pace for all sets was 7:32. Happy I achieved my target and had another hard session in the books!
🏃🏻♀️Total miles for yesterday: 10.57 including warmup, workout, and cooldown 🏃🏻♀️
Today’s easy miles happened this morning which were done at VERY easy effort: 7 miles at 9:57 average pace ☺️
Tired today, but looking forward to getting de-kinked with a sports massage tomorrow! 🤩

Felt phenomenal for the first 3 mile section and then the lower back twinged again and the second 3 mile set just got progressively slower. So be it. On the up side, this was the first run in years (I’m talking close to two years) where I have had zero foot pain. I’m giving full credit to my new Taos shoes.

Almost hit 17km on tonight’s quality workout (jonofartlek) after I tucked my kids into bed. Running so late you never know what freaks and friendly vampires you might run into…
The kids had fun putting up our Halloween lawn decorations tonight and I loved running past all the houses with fun decor! These long workouts are a great chance for me to scope out the best spooky houses.

Two sweet pick-ups of beer from craftpourhouse during my #runclub social run. The first beer is a #gose from thebrewingprojekt with a name like #cowabunga how could I not buy it? I am excited to try that one, #goseuptoeleven and the 2nd pickup is from block15brewing with an #experimental and #smallbatch #newenglandipa I am excited to drink that one as well! And the other photos are from my strava activity, and we stopped and kicked a soccer ball around at the end of the activity, near the soccer fields! Pretty fun!
Marathon training Week 9 &10 recap! 🏃🏻♀️
Over the halfway mark of training!
Ended week 9 with my longest run yet (14.25 miles)! Week 9 went well, but going into week 10 the mornings started to get darker, and work got busier. I started teaching new classes and afternoons started to fill up. In years past I used to always run in the afternoons, but now I need my run in the morning! So happy we got a working treadmill set up this weekend, even if treadmill running isn’t great. This week is already off to a much better start!
Highlight: 14.25 miles!
Struggle: Daylight hours, work, getting sick & getting enough to eat!
8 weeks to go!

Post Race Ponderings 🤔
During another easy recovery run this morning I found myself reflecting on the RVM half from Sunday. I still very much believe 75-76’ is in my wheelhouse. In fact, I do believe I was in that shape on Sunday. The data certainly indicates I had more to give. Given a flat course with no wind, I believe it’s possible. Even with that course, I was on track for it until the cramp hit at 15km. I’m still not totally sure what to pin the cramp on. HR was averaging around 150. Nowhere near threshold. Maybe fuelling and hydration was off 🤷🏽♂️ But that’s also the beauty of racing, there are no guarantees and anything can happen.
I should be switching gears a bit with my training into more marathon specific work, but I’d like to give that time another go before runcim262 I’ll be doing the Team nuunhydration half (virtual) on Nov 7. Maybe I’ll head to Glen Valley, a local favourite for Time Trials and workouts. Anybody up for pacing? I’ll take any amount of distance! Even if it’s just the last km 🤪

It's going to be a very quick trip but I'll catch a show and go to a wedding and I'll be back home by Saturday afternoon! 💙

Day 4 of my Boston Marathon weekend was all about Marathon Monday!!! No time goal set due to some training issues out of my control, so this race was about having a positive experience. The rolling start to keep crowds moving allowed for a casual and relaxed send off from Hopkinton. I took in the personalities of each town along the route and absorbed the energy of thousands of spectators lined up cheering for miles (26.2 to be exact 😉). Boston Marathon in October versus April offered an extra perk of gorgeous fall scenery. 😍 The color of the leaves on the trees was amazing! Loved seeing some of my hylandspowered teammates along the route (look at their beautiful smiles 😁). Got to run with a professional race car driver for a few miles and although I am pretty sure I beat her at this race, I have no doubts Danica Patrick would dust me on a track in a car 😂. I packed extra just in case and it paid off as I stopped twice to share some #Hylandspowered Leg Cramps with two runners on the course. I ran comfortably, fairly consistently and had a fantastic time. My Boston Marathon goal was a success!!! And on a plus, I ran a BQ! 😃 #runnergirl #girlswhorun #bostonmarathon #hylandspowered #hylandsambassadors #marathon #marathonrunner #road2cim #runcim #fleetfeetsac #fleetfeetsacramento

Over the course of 9 months, every.single. race I ran was a PR! And it made me hate running.
I watched myself change from a newbie, casual runner to someone who was improving a lot. My fitness increased. My paces dropped. Everything came more smoothly and effortlessly. So I started expecting more. Started challenging myself to run farther, faster.
And then I changed. I got vain, and shallow, and greedy. I let my ego start calling the shots. I got hung up on speed and finish times. I lost the girl I was when I started running. The one who was just happy to be out there trying big, scary things. The one pushing herself outside of her comfort zones, chasing growth and experiences (not just PRs). I loved that girl so damn much. And somewhere in 2019/2020, I fucking lost her.
Flash forward to the here and now where I have crashed and freaking burned. Two months into my third marathon training cycle, I quite literally could not force myself to workout anymore. Riding the high of almost a years' worth of PRs and I kinda never wanted to run again.
Part of this whole crash was the need for DEEP REST. And not just resting so I can re- group and go out into the world like a crazed maniac again. But, profound rest, where I have space and time to unfold and re-remember the parts of me that are pretty fucking cool. Like Runner Jen 2018. The OG edition. Damn, I’d be friends with that girl!
It took lots of rest and writing this all out to realize that, prior to 2019/2020, I hadn’t yet explored the dark, shadowy parts of my relationship with running. I had never gotten wrapped up in the PR hype or some of the more contrived, vain parts of this little corner of the world. In fact, I found it SO UNRELATABLE when people were.
I now stand before you, and myself, all Icarus-like and humbled AF.
I’m not sure where you are, running bud, in your journey or if you can relate to this? But, if you are flying high, I’m cheering you on. If you have crash-landed, bring a blanket and come to my couch. If you are somewhere in between, let’s find our way together. I can’t quite see the path forward yet, but I know it's there.
#WorkoutWednesday featuring this week’s track workout, putting in some quality 1 km repeats with zackagoodman & roryrulezz. Don’t let the game face fool you, it was a fun workout! 😊🙌 #lookprorunslow #quintanarootri #im703oceanside #road2cim #tcsnycmarathon 📷: brybryfabulous
My #running buddy and I set out to do 6 miles this morning but that was cut short because of a freaking #coyote about 20 feet in front of us 😱 All was well as he ran away but we didn't think it was smart to continue our #run in the dark. I was so scared I didn't even get a photo!
But the good news...I signed up for the #BigSur 21 miler race in April!! I am so excited to run at one of the most beautiful places on Earth ❤️

Exactly 2 years ago, on October 13, 2019 I ran on the streets of Chicago. And that was very special to me. It happened that October 13 was also my dad’s birthday 🥳 and I dedicated that race to him.
My dad’s favorite music 🎶 band was QUEEN 👑 and it happened that it was playing just right before start. It was a very emotional 😭 moment for me, because I miss my dad so much, but I can never see him again 🙁
I ran chimarathon with a purpose — to make my dad proud 🥲 of me. But I also do know that he would’ve been so proud of me any way.
I crushed that race, I felt the energy, I was in the flow!
#chicagomarathon 2019 was the most memorable race of my life so far and that was a day of sweet huge PR 3:04:35.
Happy birthday 🎉 to my dad!
Miss you so-so much!
I want to bring that energy, mental and physical preparation to my next marathon!
Thank you so much ☺️ for letting me share with you what’s in my soul.

Valley Harvest finish
#running #runstagram #road2cim #valleyharvestmarathon #run #teamnuun #nuunlife #nuunambassador
One last run around town before heading back to CA. Tempo run with 1 mile warm up and 5 @ 7:50 to 8:10 pace.
.
The speed felt good at the end of a quick trip packed with a lot of…uh…stuff.
Those “right on Hereford, left on Boylston” feels…. 😭😭😭 I didn’t get this with my last Boston experience. I soaked everything in this time. This moment here was my genuine reaction upon seeing that finish line - it was like seeing it for the very first time again.
I want to share the ups and the downs, but I had the hardest time sharing the “down” part of this year when I was in it because I truly didn’t know what to say. It’s a privilege to run and when I just didn’t want to anymore, how would I express that?
I mention this because I don’t want to just seem like I’m posting the highlight reel of my life. But when the non highlight portion consists of crying on the fitxkendall mental health awareness Peloton ride because you don’t know what you’re doing and have no purpose anymore, it’s hard to capture that.
Boston beat me down two years ago and Boston brought me back when I signed up for it earlier this year, and again on Monday when I felt every emotion possible on that course.
If you’re down right now - keep going. Do what you can. If you don’t want to run - walk, lift, bike, Zumba, do what makes you happy. Running will always be there and it will welcome you back with open arms.

It's been so windy the last couple of days, it made it quite chilly this morning. Just one more day of work this week then I'm out! Which, after today's wild ride, I'm thankful for lol 🤍

8 morning miles this Tuesday!
I ended up doing a lot of zig zagging around the neighborhood at the end of this run to get to the correct total miles. I need to go back to the drawing board for a good 8 mile loop by my place.

Late post on my progress on the #road2cim:
Week 10 🙌🏽 The training plan was to do what my cap said 😄✅ which as basic and succinct as that instruction is, it was all I needed to do as I had missed a whole week of running.
What was supposed to be a 12 mi run was an 11 mile effort. I must've missed a turn along the course 🤦🏾♀️ Maybe it was a good thing to take 6 days off to nurse a nagging knee problem from last Saturday 👍🏽 because this run felt great!
#marathon #marathontraining #fleetfeettraining #fleetfeetdavis #runningismytherapy #runningislife
Six miles steady…maybe too steady. 🤣 All of the Chicago and Boston marathoners have me all amped up! ❤️
This week has been adjustment city as I’ve been taking into account aches and pains as I’ve been building up long runs, and crazy windy conditions. 🤞I make it to the start line sans injury! 😳

Congratulations to the Run Fam that showed up and showed out, came through and conquered the chimarathon today in less than ideal weather conditions 👊🏾🔥👏🏾
Flashback to when I was c/o 2019 and that oh so candid capture 📸
16 training miles handled in the heat and humidity ✅ It even drizzled for a few miles 💦 y’all know I wanted to stop but I was determined to complete this run because my training has sucked and I’ve skipped them all 🤷🏾♀️
Longest run since 2019 👀 Whew Chile 🥵

Running with a fever is NOT recommended. 🙅🏻♀️
Yesterday I got not one, but two shots. I thought I’d be okay today, but I wasn’t. 🤦🏻♀️
I felt a little more tired than normal as I walked out the door at 5:45am, but I thought it was due to the 4:30am alarm. ⏰
Six miles in, I stopped to use the restroom. This is when I texted my hubby and said, “I feel 🤢.”
He asked if I wanted a ride home, but stubbornly I said I would return home by foot.
It was rough. I had NO energy and my body ached. 😵
I didn’t get the 16 miles in like I had hoped, but I’m super proud of the miles that did happen!
I’m training for three upcoming pacing gigs…
1️⃣ 3:30 Half at Run Rocklin on Oct. 17th
2️⃣ 3:45 Half at marinendurancefest on Oct. 31st 🎃 (Use code BRPRO10 for 10% off)
3️⃣ 6:00 Full at runcim262 on Dec. 5th
➡️ Have you ever ran while sick?

it’s crazy to think i have one more solo long #run before #racetheparkway and then it’s #tapertime for the runcim262 !

This one is super special. For the first time since I started running this race annually in 2013, Mike will be right there next to me. Don’t ask how fast or slow we plan to run, because we don’t really know. Tomorrow, it’s all about getting him to the finish line of the 125th Boston Marathon.

Run Streak Day 2110. Top of Reseda to Will Rogers and Back.
It was hotter than expected, making this adventure more difficult than expected. But, I had no where to be and nothing else to do, so took my time and enjoyed the trek. It was incredibly nice to find some solitude.
I’ve avoided this out-and-back route before because I dreaded the climb out of Will Rogers to get back. It was difficult for me (like I thought it would be). I guess that means I should do it more often so it becomes less difficult. That’s how it works, right?

I’ve got marathon FOMO!!!
Good luck to all the bostonmarathon runners and congrats to the Chicago, Long Beach and all other runners who raced today!
I recently decided not to race runcim262 and do a local half instead, but man… today is making me wonder why!!
Thanks for all your inspiration! Even if you feel like no one is watching or cares that you ran this weekend - let me tell you that you’re inspiring so many more than you know! Keep it up!!! 👏👏 👏
Anyone else have marathon FOMO this weekend?!
Shoutout to VDOT for not calculating these paces based on elapsed time, you the real MVP 👊🏻
🏆🏆🏆
I’ll spare you all the novel I could write about these miles (unless you’re dr_bri_runs, then you HAVE to read all my rambling thoughts). I’ll just say that lessons were learned. #TheBonkIsReal I also nailed 4/5 of the interval miles, so I’ll take that. Let’s not talk about that 5th interval, ‘kay? 😘😘
🏆🏆🏆
Congrats to all those who ran chimarathon today, and everyone running bostonmarathon tomorrow!!! Have had a blast seeing everyone’s posts. What an inspiration, I hope I can be like you when I grow up!!!

You know, Running a race is humbling. I had a good build up for the Victoria Half Marathon, I was feeling good and ready to get a new PB.
I felt good in the Warm Up this morning and was feeling excited. When the gun went off for the race, I went at a pace that I thought I could keep at for the whole thing. Well, that really didn’t go to plan. By the time I hit the 13-14km mark I blew up. I got too cocky and went out a little too fast and died. I felt like walking off the course and DNF but I kept on pushing and fought for every km. It may not have been the race I wanted but things happen and that’s okay, I will learn from it. Not going to get down about this one. Was a rust buster and dress rehearsal for CIM. CIM is in 7 weeks and can’t wait to toe the start line.

Day 3 of my Boston Marathon weekend was about meeting my hylandspowered teammates in person FINALLY (darn Covid)!!!!Thankful to be able to connect via social media and group pages during the crazy times, but fantastic to see their faces in person!! A shakeout run followed by a team brunch was the perfect way to prep for the marathon tomorrow. Strolled through the beautiful neighborhood of Beacon Hill. Stopped by Cheers where no one knew my name 🤷♀️ so quickly headed over to the Boston Public Market to Red Apple Farm to sample the cider and donuts we were told were amazing. They were! North End for Italian food, but we skipped all the crazy lines wrapped around the blocks for the bakeries. 😳 Oh, how I wish we had Italian restaurants like this at home!!! 🤤 I have loved walking the streets of Boston. Can’t wait to run through Hopkinson, Ashland, Framingham, Natick, Newton and into Boston tomorrow. Good luck to all my #hylandspowered teammates!!! #bostonmarathon #marathon #marathonrunner #runcim #road2cim #runnergirl #girlswhorun #orangecrush #hylandspowered #hylandsambassador
Boston Marathon Music Edition - these were the signs that gave me life while running on Friday. I mean they give me life every day, but Friday they gave me the little kicks that I needed. Love me some Pink. Pink all day every day and I’m a happy camper!

First run in the Nike Zoom Fly 4 ⚡️
Love the new volt/orange color way. Upper feels great, roomier toebox than it’s predecessor. No heel slip. The flyknit mesh is not as water repellent. Midsole and outsole feel about the same.
First look + full review videos to come.

Getting all the stuff done today since I have a short week coming up and I know I won't have time once work starts up again. Looking forward to next weekend though, I get to watch one of my best friends get married and I get return to Broadway and I get to just have a couple of days off! 🤍

That excitement to get in your new run shoes. #road2CIM #14milesNBD #WOMENrunners #womensupportingwomen #marathontraining
So happy to be back on a starting line! You don’t realize how much you miss the energy and excitement until you experience it again! Thanks runvictoriamarathon for a great event!
Didn’t run the PB I was gunning for but still an official PB (others have been pandemic time trials). I felt great until I didn’t. We were on pace for around 76’ through 15km. Then came a long uphill with 40km/hr wind gusts. I was feeling strong grinding up it, but as soon as we turned out of the wind, I got hit by a side cramp. It was all I could do to breathe through it and grind it out without totally blowing up. Still stoked to run a live race 🙌🏽Thanks to Kris and Russ for working together and pushing through.
Congratulations to everyone out there today 🎉 it was awesome to meet so many people I’ve only known through Strava and IG!

Finishing up my biggest week so far, and this was with cutting back some efforts due to the RnR Half last week. 54 miles (and would have been 59-ish).
#strydrunning #road2cim #kofuzirunclub #nonelite #pathprojects #santacruztrackclub
It feels great when things feel like they are coming together in a training block!
My coach called for a 16 mile progressive run for me today, with the first mile starting at my normal easy effort and then gradually getting down to my current marathon effort. All went really well, so swipe to see my splits along with elevation gain, etc. ⌚️☺️
I also made sure to wear my Chicago Marathon finisher shirt this morning to cheer on the runners participating today! 📣 You all are amazing, and I cannot wait to catch up on the replay! 🏃🏻♀️ 📺

I ran 17 miles with my fleet feet fam yesterday morning. I wasn't doing to hot on this run and had to walk one time and stop another time, but swipe for picture of me not actually dying at mile 16 😀
