Pretty windy but very gorgeous day! Getting mentally prepared to start a new training program. #RunPositive
2 years ago today!!😭 #CIM 2018.
At CIM 2017, I’d broken 3 hrs in the #marathon for the first time. But that first time, it was one of those once-in-a-lifetime races where everything goes right, feels ez, nothing hurts, & you run way faster than you think is even possible.✨
After the race, I had a hard time believing it had happened, & wondered if I’d ever be able to do it again, if and when things didn’t go so perfectly. If there wasn’t “magic.”
It took most of the following year to work on the performance anxiety that magical race had given me, and work up the courage to toe the line again.
I credit the book “How Bad Do You Want It” by Matt Fitzgerald to seriously saving my 2018 race. I was still reading it and taking notes in my hotel room the night before the race! 😂 It helped me reach my potential and hit my goals, even though it wasn’t one of those magical races. In fact, my legs were cramping by the half and the whole thing was quite the struggle.🥴The book gave me knowledge that helped me control my mental game & get to that finish line without relenting, regardless of how I was feeling.
👉I learned it’s more effective to say “this is hard but you can do hard things” rather than “this is easy you got this.”
👉It’s better to brace for hard work & pain than to just hope for the best.
Had I not read those tips, I don’t know if I would’ve intuitively used that type of self-talk. Prior to reading that book, I’d always tell myself “this is easy you are comfortable,” so my gut tells me that is what I would’ve continued using, and probably would’ve panicked when my body said otherwise😬
“I can do hard things” was my mantra that day, and has continued to be ever since.
It’s relatively easy to succeed when things are going your way, to plan, you feel great, etc. And while it may be harder to reach your goals when the going gets tough, it is ABSOLUTELY possible, and in my opinion, so much more rewarding.
This finish line was so much more emotional than my first sub 3. I cried. I knew how hard I’d worked to reach my goal, and that time, I didn’t credit any of it to “magic.” 😉
If you haven’t read this book, put it on your Christmas list!!🎁📚
This was the last race I ran. Almost a full year ago. And this weekend, up to 600 athletes will toe the runcim262 line again. It will look very different, and won’t be finishing at the Capitol building, but it is happening.
🔹
Hindsight is 20/20, and if I had known this was going to be my last race for a while, I hope I would have approached it differently.
🔸
I was so driven to train to try for an OTQ. And when I showed up tired on race day, maybe not fully recovered from 2 half marathons I ran in November, I wanted to abandon that goal and be more conservative. My body was tired. But regardless, I started at goal pace, and fell off around 10k. And at that point instead of running with whatever I had, I gave up and just shut it down. Jogged it in for the remaining 32k. Angry with myself every step, but unable, or maybe unwilling to change my mind and give it what I had left.
🔹
I saw a bravelikegabe post this week that brought tears to my eyes. It said, “It’s worth doing even if it isn’t perfect. Even if it’s nowhere near our previous best. Every day is a new chance to try our best and be brave in our own special way.”
🔸
I gave it up because it wasn’t going to be perfect. And I regret that constantly. Because gigrunewald was right. It is worth doing. Even if it isn’t perfect. And moving forward, I will be thinking of that every time I toe the line. And I hope my athletes think of that on Sunday, that even if it isn’t perfect, it is worth doing and giving your best.

Remembering 2012 runcim262 when I hit a BQ but didn’t get into #bostonmarathon2014 cuz the cutoff was 10 seconds faster. This motivated me to make another attempt the next year. In 2013 runcim262 I did BQ and PR at the time! #nevergiveupneversurrender

I know it's only Tuesday but this week is something else already.
A female runner was assaulted yesterday during broad daylight at a park I frequently run by/around/through. The standard reply to this is always, "Please don't run alone ladies."
I like running alone...scratch that...I LOVE running alone. I feel like telling women not to run alone is like telling them to put on more clothing if they don't want to be assaulted....it's BS. Don't get me wrong, I love run groups, I'm in a few but when you're running 30, 40, 50 miles a week how are you supposed to always have a buddy?? Also....rona...social distancing...like come on!
In the words of my sister, "Women shouldn't have to run in packs to avoid predators."
How do you keep safe? What tools do you keep should you need to lay down an a@# kicking on your run? Can my hydration pack double as a holster?? Sheesh.

As much as I complain about training and running CIM, I’m sure going to miss it this year. I’ll miss the excitement of toeing the line with my friends. I’ll miss seeing friends who run the course and the friends who come out to cheer. *Sigh* Until next time CIM, until next time. #road2cim #medalmonday

Welcome to my world! I feel sad that Jason did all this work to put in the cool lighting, but I do all my workouts during the day, so the only time I see it is when I’m getting dressed before dawn.
•
Dude, “The Queen’s Gambit” was so good! I’m sad it’s over, but ah the ending was perfect! I vetoed “Ratched,” and now I’m trying “Truth Seekers” on Amazon purely because I love them but also doubt it’s going to stick.
•
The Zwift achievement hunting continues! I’ve knocked out like 27 route completions and gained 9/5 levels, so 🥳👍🏼 I even did a 5k race and was truly and completely humbled by these dudes finishing in 20 minutes.
•
Final week of tapering and carb loading. I have one more ride tomorrow to finish a Zwift badge, and then I’m just walking and eating and walking and eating and walking and eating... until I can finally do the race on Friday morning. The wait is interminable. On the other hand, I’m eating so many of the usually off-diet foods that I’m actually going to be glad to get back on track next week!

Back in the lowlands and out for the final LR of #project2620 training. Would’ve been a nice, easy 10-mile run had I started my watch. At 2.34 miles in, I realized my mistake, got mad and, well, there may be a few Strava badges and sub-8s today. And I also tacked on another mile ... because, why not?

Last long run before the big dance! Decided to preview a portion of the race course. Although unlikely, I hope it’s a little warmer next Sunday than it was this morning. 37° in short shorts is no joke 🥶. I also hope to see some familiar faces out there crushin PR’s! And again a huge shout out to sacramentorunningassociation for making this event a reality! 🙏🏻

I AM AN ATHLETE.
Every week, bethanycorataylor asks me to write a positive affirmation about myself.
This week I wrote “I AM AN ATHLETE.”
It was a simple realization that I had one night.
I was cooking a healthy meal.
Sipping water from my Nalgene.
Prepping my food for the next work day.
Thinking about the sleep I was going to get that night.
In other words: prioritizing the things that made me feel good.
The things that make me feel strong in my lifts and capable in my runs.
The things that athletes think about.
But until this week, it didn’t strike me that my pursuit of athletic endeavors made me an athlete. I just saw myself as “someone who was trying to become a runner.”
Growing up, I considered myself an athlete.
I played competitive and collegiate volleyball.
But when I walked away from that, I walked away from my identity as an athlete.
Looking back on it, I think for a long time that made me feel a little lost.
I transitioned from my late teens to and through my 20s without the identity that had literally shaped who I was.
I lost the team, I lost the structure, and I lost a sense of self.
In February, I could barely run a mile around our neighborhood. I had to walk more than I could run.
But I kept going. I kept showing up. Inconsistently at first, and consistently with time.
And today, nine months and over 200 miles into being “someone who is trying to become a runner,” I knocked out six miles with ease.
I haven’t loved every run.
Every run hasn’t felt easy.
In fact, I think I’ve dreaded more runs than I’ve loved.
More runs have felt hard than easy.
But I am an athlete, and I am a runner.
And damn, does that realization feel a little bit like coming home.
Here’s to 200-something, and here’s to more. 🤙🏼 #SelfCareInHealthcare

When I saw this sign today, I knew I needed a photo with it! #SlowRunner
18+5 = a 23 mile run! I didn't realize there was an 18 mile leg of the #Project2620 long run challenge, so I fudged it a bit today and stopped and restarted my watch at 18, because I couldn't not finish them all! I know you're supposed to taper the final week before a race, but I just wasn't comfortable making the jump from 20 to 26.2. I can't believe it's one week away 😱

This #SmallBusinessSaturday, I’d like to thank each and every person who has supported Goode Athletics along the way ❤️🤍💙
•
There’s still a ways to go, but I’m so happy that I’ve been able to do some good in the running community and make a positive impact in the lives of my athletes so far.
•
With the holidays coming up, keep Goode Athletics in mind for running related gifts 🎁 A Goode Athletics T-shirt makes a great stocking stuffer, and for those ready to take that step, a coach is a great investment! Or should I say a “Goode” one 😁
•
If you’re a small business owner, you know how much time and effort goes into it, so really again I couldn’t be more grateful for those who are in my corner 🙏

My favorite way to run is with a pack full of snacks and no route plan at all. With our feet as tour guides, we can end up in some pretty cool places. 🏔🤩 Hope you get outside this weekend!✌️

Boy oh boy, I have been missing laurafrye_nyc's Disney Barre class. I gotta start showing up even for the last 30 minutes or so cuz I can tell how much fitness and strength I've lost not doing it for the last 6-7 weeks. Parts of my body were sore today in ways I haven't felt in months. I know more than ever how much it helped my running over the summer and I want to get that back! 💜

Last long run of marathon training! Nine miles easy. Initially started off bad because my headphones accidentally called home instead of playing music, but it all worked out. Did have a couple struggle spots, but pulled through. Also forgot fuel, but mentors had fuel, so it worked. Im glad training is done and we will see where it leads. #marathontraining #running #runners #runner #runnersworld #runningcommunity #runnerscommunity #run #runningmotivation #runningismytherapy #road2cim #ninemiles
🎅🏻 Saturday run! Eight frosty miles just to get me in the spirit...holiday spirit (listening to Christmas tunes and admiring all the new light displays) AND marathon spirit (one week to go before race day, #project2620 ) The California International Marathon usually takes place in early December and has a way of getting you into the holiday spirit with spectators decked out in Christmas gear and Santa suits, plus the State Capital Christmas tree at the finish line!🏁🎄Although this year’s race won’t have any of that, I’m still feeling the traditional vibes during my training. 🎅🏻🌲♥️💯And I know that one week from now I’ll be close to finishing the #marathon , with recovery time wrapped up in Christmas festivities! 🎄🎅🏻♥️💯😍🏁 Such a fun reward after a year of hard training! 🎁
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have a great weekend!😘

Dress rehearsal for next weekend’s marathon. I was a little nervous about a tank top and shorts in 44° weather, but it worked out fine (so long as the sun is out!). These were the last GMP miles of the training block and they clicked by easy. I even notched a new VO2 Max! Easy recovery miles from here on out 🏃🏻♂️🏃🏻♂️🏃🏻♂️

We did our own #TurkeyTrot #10K this morning. I never thought I would get to a point to be #grateful for #running. As much as I complain during the #run, I am reminded of how much I have to be #thankful for - my #health that allows me to run, my #husband who has always been supportive of any endeavor I've tackled, my children who #inspire me to keep going, my #RunningBuddy who could easily run circles around me but chooses to stick with me, and #Sacramento for having so many amazing running trails and beautiful weather so I can enjoy my time #outside. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Happy Thanksgiving!! 🦃
Today I'm thankful for my ability to #letshitgo
I managed to hit "treadmill" instead of "run" so my pace was completely off and I'm positive I ran up that goddamn mountain of a hill my fastest yet. I will never know!! Aaagghhh!!!! 😭🤣😭🤣😭 Nothing a few deviled eggs can't fix.
Anyway, wishing you all a safe and healthy weekend. 💜
No turkey trot, ran anyway!

Wishing you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Virtual runtofeedthehungry is complete! Did a 10k but also was about half a mile from my car so total mileage is 6.7 miles. Also a lot of people chose land park to run their race and surprisingly I was able to social distance. I wanted to do something special for the sacfoodbank this year because I really enjoy this run, so in addition to $67 for every like this post gets across all social, an additional dollar will be donated. Hope everyone has a good Thursday! #allinforsacramento #rtfth #runtofeedthehungry #turkeytrot #run #running #runner #runners #runnersofinstagram #runnerscommunity #runningcommunity #werunsacramento #runhappy #runningismytherapy #run #road2cim #runnersofinsta #thursday 9run6 sacramentorunningassociation runcim262 fleetfeetsac
42 degrees and 15mph winds! Yay! That 10k became a 5k when I couldn’t feel my toes. Slow pacing thanks to tapering, but I’ll be grateful next week. Happy Quarantine Thanksgiving, y’all! Just us this year, but turkey is on the smoker! Watching “The Queen’s Gambit” while I Zwift.

21 Thanksgiving Miles!
This Thanksgiving morning, I am thankful for:
👉legs that carry me many miles of adventure🏃♀️
👉A husband who supports me and my crazy idea to train for a marathon❤️
👉An amazing group of women to help break up these long runs!😊
This morning I was blessed 8 grEIGHTful miles with my #womenoutontrails ladies full of beautiful views sandwiched between 13 solo miles.
I was really nervous for this run, not knowing how my body would be feeling with that many miles , but I felt AMAZING! It was honestly one of my best runs with the exception of some stomach issues the final stretch. It was the perfect final long run before my marathon in two weeks🙌.
I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving ❤️!

After completing a painting project I’ve been working on the last few days, today I set out on my last practice long run before #project2620 (aka, a virtual full marathon). But where 🤔 That I left up to you to decide 😱 and the wine country won vs city streets 🍷👏 All of today’s 20 miles were run along santarosamarathon course. This is where I hit a BQ twice and is still my PR race. Such great memories fueled my run as I enjoyed the sites and sounds. It’s been a year since I completed this distance. At times my rhythm felt off and my foot was throbbing, so I just kept going. But, as the miles passed I eventually eased into a steady pace and felt only gratitude! Maybe it’s this week, the anticipation of a family gathering for Thanksgiving. We’ll all be together this time 😎 (it’s been four years since that’s happened). It’s been a strange year so far and this one realization of gratitude and thanks are all that I needed to complete today’s run. Hope you and yours have a Happy and grateful Thanksgiving !!!

I think the majority of things in life happen for a reason.
I also think there is always something to be grateful for.
Around a year ago I received a check in the mail addressed to bravelikegabe for $5,000 from sufferfestbeer to support rare cancer research.
Late last year the founder of Sufferfest caitlinlandesberg reached out to billyyang and myself hoping to share my story. Bilbo, as his closest friends call him, asked me what one place gigrunewald and I never made it to that we had hoped to visit.
Hawaii.
He planned a trip and convinced me to attempt the Kalalau Trail FKT (fastest known time).
yellowrunner was supposed to join us but had something come up so she invited amanda_basham who came on short notice instead.
A few days before my attempt, I would support Amanda on her FKT attempt, or so we thought.
Around 10 miles in we were both already out of water and I was cramping worse than ever before. I told her to go on without me and I’d make it back eventually.
After a few more minutes of walking, I wasn’t doing great. I laid down on a big rock, vomited and decided to take a nap, not thinking clearly in hot and humid conditions.
In these scenarios, although I have no intention of dying, I feel comfort in chatting with G (I did get to bring her to Hawaii with me 💙), worst case scenario, she’d be waiting for me on the other side, which is always comforting.
Upon waking from my nap, there was a beautiful orange tree full of ripe oranges, had it not been there I don’t know if I honestly would have made the journey back (like I said, she must have been there).
A few days later, I got redemption of the trail and Billy made a great film about it.
Had Sufferfest not invited me to share my story, Amanda and I would likely not be together. Because they did, we both couldn’t be more excited to welcome a baby girl into the world in January.
To make Sufferfest even cooler, they have this great beer named FKT and created these sweet t-shirts. Proceeds from t-shirt sales will go to BLG and rare cancer research.
They are an incredible company, and I’m forever thankful for their support 💙.

I’ve been expecting this to happen, anticipating it even. I finally tripped and fell during my long run last night. Feels like a right of running passage!
I was worried about this run considering my 18 miles was such a struggle. But every run is different and this one felt great!!

After 8 weeks of spending our weekends chasing #project2620, we completed our last long training run this morning! 18 miles through the quiet streets of South San Jose. Along the way, we took detours visiting San Jose’s historical landmark Hayes Mansion, Martial Cottle Park and Almaden Lake Park. Now time to turn our focus to the first weekend of December to knock out 26.2 miles but first, we taper! 🙌🏼 #road2cim #runcim #willsweatforbeer #southsanjose #hayesmansion #martialcottlepark #santaclaracountyparks #almadenlakepark #cityofsanjoseparks #toolegitfitness #taji100 #racemob #runlocal #tapertime
12.12 miles that (mostly) felt...good? Great? 😳 Weird. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop.
2 weeks until I run 26.2 miles with cancer. 🦋🎗

Official Marathon training run #2 is in the books (37 degrees = California cold) now it’s time to taper... #road2cim #marathontraining #running #instarunners #saucony #goodtimes #stayhard
A pesar de que este año ha sido un tanto complejo e incierto, estoy determinada en correr un maratón este 2020.
.
Ya es oficial, el 6 de diciembre volveré a competir. Porque sería una buena manera de terminar este año, mejorando mi marca en los 42.

Comenzamos rapidamente la baja de kms 😂.

2 weeks out from the marathon. Training has gone well, my body is still in one piece. Did some more mental training today by doing the last 5 miles at GMP (Goal Marathon Pace). Time to taper down and make sure these legs are in prime condition come Dec 6th!
•
On a side note: Just to show how inaccurate wrist heart rate can be, my HR was the same or higher (actually showed max HR at one point) during my easy miles as it was after I dropped the pace by over a min/mile. 🤷🏻♂️

Half marathon ☑️
. . .
Cold. Beautiful. Hard. Salty.
. . .
That bout sums it up. Funny how we think the taper is going to be a breeze given all the hard work we put in on the long runs and throughout training...
Ummmm... No. NO. NOOO!!
Running is hard ya’ll, but we have goals and can do hard things! Right?! Two weeks until marathon day! Eek 😬
