Mood follows action.
Coming out of CIM, I was exhausted. Not just from 26.2 but from 6 months of marathon training, through the smoky heat of the Sacramento summer, a hot and humid humility session in Chicago, and a six-minute PR at CIM that took everything I had. I was happy with my race and content with the training that brought me there, but I was done.
I spent the next three weeks recovering and hardly ran at all. Even the thought of training for another marathon made me tired. I’d like to say that all that recovery left me refreshed, but it didn’t. Boston, however, was set for April 18, and the BAA wasn’t going to move it to accommodate my grumbling.
Boston, the race that’s been on my bulletin board for years, was happening and I was lucky enough to land a spot. And while looking down the barrel of another 17-week buildup was daunting, at the end of that barrel was a right on Hereford and a left on Boylston--the two sweetest turns in the sport. It was time to get to work.
To change things up, I put together a new training plan based on Pete Pfitzinger’s 55-70 program. This meant heavier miles during the week than I was used to, but it also supplied a fresh challenge to look forward to day in and day out.
Then I got to running and all it took was that first 10 mile run with the sunrise for me to remember why I do this in the first place. With yesterday’s long run in the bag, I’m now through my third week of the Boston buildup. I can feel my fitness improving and I’m excited about the weeks of training to come. Making a plan and getting out the door was all it took.

We’ve been in the new house over six months and I FINALLY got my medals hung in their little corner. I still have a few more things to hang up, but it feels good to get these bad boys organized. It was a good running day, medals hung and 10 miles this morning. Holidays are over, jumping back into training and higher mileage.
SF Hot Cocoa Expo!
First real 15km tomorrow and first time running for chocolate! 😂🥰 Oh and I think this is my first race ever not in Sacramento! How is that possible?!

after a month of reflection, the only real question is:
if you knew it would take you 9 years to accomplish your goal, would you still pursue it?
would you take the blue pill or the red pill…if you take the blue pill—the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. if you take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland, and see how deep the rabbit hole goes.
see you in Wonderland 🐇

Those walking rests are GOLD! 8x 200m today with 1min rests. Doing something a little different and training for some 5ks. 5ks are my least favorite distance to run. They are so hard, but I love the challenge! I am running a few half marathons in between there, including Houston in a couple of weeks, but the goal for now is 3.1 miles fast😏. Then another marathon next fall😋. #ColtStrong #mckirdytrained

My very first Boston shirt!💙💛
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ever since I crossed the CIM finish line (or maybe a few weeks before I ran CIM😉) with my first BQ, I’d been looking for “Boston Qualified” shirts. After standing in line for so long to ring the BQ Bell at CIM, my mind was mush and I didn’t even think about looking at the merch tent in the finish area. It wasn’t until a few days later that I noticed sandeedandee24 sporting one on IG. I was disappointed that I didn’t get one at CIM because this particular shirt mentions both CIM & Boston.👕🦄🏁🏃🏼♀️🥲 Well, I decided to contact the Sacramento Running Association to see if they had any leftovers. They explained that all extra merchandise was sent to the Fleet Feet store in downtown. So I called the store in desperation.😆 The sales associate at this store (45 min away from where I live) said there were a bunch of boxes “in the back” but he didn’t think there were any left, and especially not in a small or a medium. So, I told my husband the lengths I went to and conceded that I just wasn’t meant to have one. Fast forward to Christmas morning…when what do my wondering eyes should appear…💙💛👕😍 Hubby had gone to the downtown store, asked the manager if he could search through all the boxes “in the back” and like spotting a unicorn 😉, found one for me! I couldn’t believe my eyes when I opened it! And, although I know it’s just the first of many Boston shirts, it sure is a special one.🦄👕💙💛😍🎁✨ Do you remember your first Boston shirt?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Also, another 7 miles this morning!😁

Anh Bui runresilientlydpt has been on a quest to break Sub-3 and would dream about what that would feel like while pushing through her toughest workouts. When she arrived in Chicago off what felt like the perfect buildup, the universe had other ideas in mind and she had to walk off the course at mile 14 and take her 1st DNF. It was physically painful, humbling, and Anh felt like she had let herself, Coach and closest supporters down.
Anh asked her Coach Matt Hensley of boulderunderground if they could take another crack at CIM runcim and he advised her to focus on getting healthy. This is where Anh put her unique skills as a DPT & CSC to use. She built her own rehab program, with a big focus on PT & Strength and worked tirelessly to get back to running. It wasn’t a certainty she would run till 5 days before CIM, but through incredibly hard work, she arrived healthy, with no expectations just 8 weeks after chicagomarathon She met up with Ana (from NYC) and friend Kim at mile 3 and they worked beautifully together as a team. Against all odds, she got to have that day she had been dreaming about, running 2:58:33, smashing the Sub-3 barrier. The agony and ecstasy of running, eight weeks apart. Tears of joy, hugs and celebrating with her Asst Coach Nicole nicolebbush and Coach Matt who were both there to support her in Chicago and now at the Finish Line 🏁 at CIM. So many lessons learned in this one.
When Anh isn’t crushing races, she’s deeply involved in the running community operating her PT Practice out of renegade_running in Oakland leading wellness Wednesday workouts focused on injury prevention, strengthening and mobility. She’s also a USATF1 Run Coach who understands how all of these areas need to come together to be the best running version of yourself. Hoping she follows through and publishes that Rehab Program as we discussed😜
I’m excited to follow Anh’s inspiring journey! Hope you all enjoy this convo as much as we did so lets dive on in and take a listen 🎧 🎙:

I have always loved #Christmas, but two years ago, this #holiday became integral to my #running journey. At #Christmastime 2019, I was at my heaviest weight after having my two babies, I had no motivation, and I hadn't #run in about 18 months. I had a small nugget of a thought that I wanted to run the runcim262 CIM the following year in 2020 but knew that was a long shot dream. In a show of support and confidence in me, my husband registered me for the CIM 2020 as one of my Christmas presents in 2019. Of course we know what happened the following year and that the #marathon was eventually cancelled but it was that initial #ChristmasPresent that got me restarted on this #RunningJourney, and here I am 2 marathons later!
What #ChristmasGift has changed your life?

Merry Christmas and happy #FinishLineFriday! I recently downloaded my finish line video from CIM, and edited it with the one I previously posted for a more full perspective of the moment.
Interestingly, CIM is the only race where I always finish in a pack of runners. There’s never enough room to get a solo picture at these races for some reason 😂
This finish, though, was my most special at CIM. I can definitely say I left it all out there to finish with a sub-3 PR of 2:57:01.

Picture 1- I guess it’s time to start training again
Picture 2- Really?
These are post runcim262 and nicolebbush does an excellent job of capturing how I am feeling (whew, I got a sub 3 and wow, I’m tired)
I think it’s important to remind myself that this training block is not a redemption training block. Each race and block is independent of its own. I will definitely try to learn from the previous one. I’m looking forward to a healthy training block for Boston and anything in between.

California International Marathon (CIM)
- Race recap- Last part & next marathon… 🤓
I call this photo: Hunting mode
Last 10km and I was ready to start hunting people down. All of the training was specifically for this moment. The last 10k of a marathon are the toughest. It’s the reason why they call it “the marathon’s real halfway mark”.
Everything hurts. For me it was mainly my legs seizing up due to the rolling hills. The pounding of the downhills took their toll and I was struggling to go faster.
But, if I was hurting, the people in front of me were hurting more. I started passing a lot of runners very quickly but each kilometer was getting harder. My legs weren’t moving and dark thoughts were creeping in.
And then it hit me, I discovered a new mantra to use in races from now on:
“Those runners in front of me are hurting MORE than me. I’m going to dig deeper and pass them because I CAN”
I also have a habit of allowing myself to smile to trick myself into thinking I’m feeling great. It works 🤓
Even though my splits weren’t getting much faster than before I was able to hold pace and finish as strongly as I could.
When I crossed the line the first thought to cross my mind was my wife. She was aiming for her Boston Qualifying time and I immediately put my watch on stopwatch as I knew exactly the time she needed to do. I wasn’t hurting anymore because of the adrenaline and euphoria so instead of leaving to get food and drink I decided to wait for her. BIG mistake 😂
The minutes were ticking by and I couldn’t see her. I knew it was going to be close. When I finally saw her, I looked at the stopwatch and I knew she had missed her qualifying time by 25 seconds 😢
We kinda just started at each other and were lost for words. Too exhausted to think. It was at that point when I paid for staying around standing and my whole body went floppy like an amoeba. Poor missus had to to snap out of her disappointment and drag me to the medical tent. The medics kindly revived me with a cup of hot miso and pretzels.
Right then we decided she would shave those 25 seconds and more in another marathon in February. I will be her pacer.
3.25 miles + 125 lunges = early morning run
Feeling SO good in all my PINK today! New pants! 🎉 And a winter rose 🌹! Life is so good. Happy Friday and weekend friends!

#MedalMonday Better late than never! Full marathon #18 & CIM #10 in the books! Every race is different than the next & I learn something new about myself every 26.2. I knew it wasn’t going to be a PR year but I’ll take the 4:22 with a huge smile because I loved every moment of this run. I am proud of this accomplishment. The adversity I faced was getting to the start line after a 2 year hiatus, surviving a pandemic, stress, a truncated training period, slow training runs, running at lb4lb light middle class instead of my usual light welterweight running frame 😂, no sleep, anxiety, etc. I honestly thought I was going to be out there for at least 4.5/5+ hours the way my training had gone. However, carb locked & loaded, the weather was too perfect, & the consistent things I did do right to get to the start allowed me to (surprisingly) run a 9:30 pace beyond mile 20. That’s when I started to allow myself to slow down through the rest of water stops so I could ensure crossing the finish line. I knew I wasn’t trained for that pace. It was hard for me to fight wanting to go faster every mile. Runner’s high is no joke, especially when I haven’t felt that way in almost 2 years. I knew if I totally went with it, I would risk hitting the wall. The minor struggles I did have were around mile 22 when nausea set in & mile 25 when my quads finally realized we weren’t prepared for that pace. Nothing was going to stop me. Mental strength + determination 💚is what will always get you to that finish line. “The body achieves what the mind believes.”
It wasn’t the float across the finish line with a full-on sprint of years past, but no doubt it was still strong & one of the sweetest for me ever! It was as if a huge weight was lifted. Like when I came back from being on sabbatical/recharge. I needed this. And yes, I’m already signed up for next year. I’m only interested in moving forward and building something new & better. Me against me.
Thank you to all of my family & friends who supported me along the way & showed up for me on race day. Your love & presence is appreciated & gets me through it every time. I had a blast celebrating my 10th CIM anniversary with everyone!
A double medal Monday! 🔥
December has been a whirlwind and we’re only halfway through the month! 🤯
In the last three weeks I…
▫️Started a new job on a school site after teaching from home for nearly two years.
▫️Celebrated my toddler’s third birthday.
▫️Ran my 21st full marathon at runcim262
▫️Ran a half marathon the following weekend while celebrating my 9 year wedding anniversary! 🎉
All of this was made possible because of my village who helps to watch my 5 month old and 3 year old while I conquer the world! 🙌🏻
Speaking of 5 month old, doesn’t it look like Saelah is mimicking my pose in the picture?! 😍

CIM finishers 🏅🏅
wendiecarr We did it ✅lizzard214 got a PR (woot!) and I had a rough day but battled to finish. Just when it started to feel impossible, the oisellevolee_ca cheer corner helped push me to that finish line! No old injuries flared up and it feels good to get this distance back under my feet after 2+ years. (No injury pain, just couldn’t keep anything down after 17 miles so I’m stoked to still get it done). Headed home with a brand new medal for my girls 🏅

Marathon #2 in the books 🙌
Posted withregram • lizzard214 CIM 2021 ✅🏅
I felt better prepared for marathon #2. No wall because I knew I could do it. Plus, knowing I didn’t have to run for at least a week after motivated me to keep going when my legs were tired. Fueled well, probably best time ever (including training runs).
Ran a big chunk of the race with my training and travel partner wendiecarr. Had a great time meeting California Oiselle members and seeing familiar faces. Overall: surprisingly foggy skies, hilly course, great crowds, and a lot of fun.

It was in this moment right here that my husband captured me saying “I’m f%#*ing doing it!” as I ran passed him. If you know me you know I just don’t use words like that very often - I guess you could say I reserve them for when they can have the greatest impact or if I feel especially moved to do so 😂 This was definitely the perfect occasion - I was so pumped and knew I was running an incredible race.
I can’t believe it’s been just over a week since CIM! The last week has been restful and replenishing. I am still just so so happy thinking about the whole experience. My first run back will be tomorrow morning and I am REALLY looking forward to it ❤️

California International Marathon (CIM) race recap 🏅 PART 1
Waking, walking, and more walking. That has been my only activity since last Sunday. Tiredness went away midweek but my mind needed a rest. I was also missing my burgers, ice cream, and chocolates.
I’ll get on the bike today and go out for a run tomorrow to see how the body feels.
But you’re here for the recap as per the title so here we go: Early rise and usual struggle to get food down so early in the morning. It took me about 20 mins to finish a bagel with almond butter & jelly. An epic battle between the bagel and me wanting to puke it back out 😂. On race days, instead of water I like to drink coffee and substitute water for a pre-workout electrolyte drink instead. I didn’t finish the electrolyte because I had drank loads the day before and I have an old man’s bladder.
The bus journey from the hotel to the start line was really far and uncomfortable for my lanky legs since we were in a school bus. Took about 45mins and it was hot and stuff. However, everyone was in good spirits and we couldn’t wait to get out of the bus to warm up and use the restrooms!
We got to the start at around 6:20am so not a long time until the start to get into the corral. Although there were A LOT of porta potty’s (as in A LOT!- 100’s!) by that time the lines were long and we decided to just line up and use them. By the time I was done, there was only 15mins until the start and I didn’t have time to warm up.
I jogged in place a few minutes, did some active stretches, took a gel, took my extra layers of clothing off, zoned in, and I was ready to rock n roll.
The gun goes off and so it began, everybody’s quest to make their own history. CIM, let’s have ya! 🤓

Happy Medal Monday, isn’t she pretty?! It’s a been a week since CIM and I’ve had some time to put together some thoughts on the race. I’m so glad I decided to stick with it and have this as my last race of the season. My only goal going into it was to have fun & soak in every mile, I’m super proud that I did that! The first 16 miles just flew by for me. Those later miles are always hard but I still felt strong. When I reached the 23 mile marker, I realized that it was the best I’ve ever felt at the end of the marathon and I was able to pick it up. There were so many times after Boston that I doubted whether I could run another one so soon. Race weekend I kept reminding myself that ‘I get to do this’ and ‘I can do hard things’ and it really helped me pivot mentally. A lesson I’ve learned a bunch of times, believing in yourself is half the battle.
If you’re looking for a late fall race, this is it! The course is a net downhill and while I did notice some inclines and declines, it felt mostly flat to me. I think everyone’s definition of ‘hilly’ is influenced by where they train the most. After spending the summer on the hills of the Boston course, this felt a lot easier to me. The race did a really good job with the logistics. The expo was a good size and not crowded at all when we went on Saturday morning. I grabbed a bus by the finish to get to the start, only a 5 minute walk from my hotel. It was a nice coach bus with bathroom and we got to stay on it as long as we wanted. I also really appreciated the reusable bag and water bottle at the finish. I would definitely recommend it and would consider doing it again!

Race Recap 4/4 - Post Finish Line Thoughts
.
🇪🇸🇻🇪🇲🇽🇨🇱 en el primer comentario
.
.
After crossing the finish line, the first person I found was my coach ortaluis15 and was so happy to see him ask him about his race and celebrate a great step in the right direction.
.
.
Also congratulations again to mollygrabill for her 2nd place in the race and it was great to chat with a great coaching mind ricrojasrunningtrack who has a portfolio of champions as athletes
.
.
So, what can I take as LESSONS from this cycle?
1.- Strength training is key... I did strength training 2-3 per week (45 min) of full body circuit with a big emphasis on quads, I will add more glute and hamstring for the next cycle.
.
2.- Long runs: finish these strong and run these in a similar circuit as the race, for example for CIM I ran a loop with uphills downhills of up to 25 m drop and my body and mind got used to it an the hills did not affect me that much on race day.
.
3. - Trust the process, trust yourself: Berlin did not go well and I knew that I was fit and strong, so I kept going and corrected what needed improvement and I got my result at the end of the day.
.
4. - Race preparation: the race starts practically 4-5 days prior to it, great hydration and nutrition, rest and a positive mindset will give you an edge and a big advantage to be successful on race day.

it’s been 1 week + 1 day since I ran my marathon. I’ve actually loved this week off, especially my chill mornings ❤️. a week of reflection + starting to set goals for spring races and my next fall marathon.
although I had big goals at CIM, this marathon was really to get an idea of where I am at with the marathon distance. it’s a good feeling to know that if I would have raced a bit differently + truly stuck to my race plan that sub 3hrs was mine.
my races are penciled in for 2022 + I can’t wait to get to work! but for now I’ll be easing back into some easy runs this week, enjoy my holiday season and a little family vacay so when I return home, I’ll be sooooo ready to tackle my training for next season!

CIM recap! CIM surpassed my expectations and was a great experience!
I started marathon training at the start of a busy, unpredictable school year. Every week of the semester has brought changes & challenges, but marathon training kept me grounded. Half-marathon training would have probably been a better choice time-wise, but I was committed to seeing it through!
The night before the race I spent close to an hour trying to determine where to line up at the start line. I tried several marathon time predictor websites, with a wide range of answers. I skipped or shortened most of my weekday runs the last month & had no idea what a realistic goal was. On Sunday morning I decided to start next to the 4:35 pacer.
Miles 1-10 felt great! Kept reminding myself to take it nice and easy, while also passing up the 4:15 pacer very early on and trying to keep a consistent pace.
.
Miles 11-17 I put music on by this point & was trying to take it all in. I was focused on seeing fox_eli at mile 17! I was scanning the faces through mile 17 & started waving my arms all around once I saw my friends! It was a great pick me up & gave me some new energy!
.
Miles 17-20 I decided to focus on just 3 miles now. Just 3 miles.
.
Miles 20-20.5 Made it to 20 & felt good! The finish line was near!
.
Miles 20.5-23 The finish line felt far! Told myself I could slow down but not walk. My legs felt fine but mentally I was tired, felt I would finish but was starting to not care what my time would be at the end.
.
Miles 24-26.2 Jim texted that they made it to the finish line and I decided I didn’t want to waste the consistent pace I had been keeping this whole time! Picked the speed back up and was ready to go! Finished in 4:09 and felt good!
Would I run another marathon? 100%! 😱 Trying really hard to not jump on signing up for CIM 2022 just yet. The time commitment was no joke & and I need to catch up on some sleep. But I think I’m ready to run a half-marathon again after all these years 😆

A face with a slight frown, furrowed eyebrows, and scrunched eyes, as if holding back tears or exerting great effort; an uncomfortable expression.
It’s often used by people trying to get through a hard time, it conveys the thought that, even if I reach rock bottom, I am not giving up.
😣This describes the persevering emoji. 😣
I had no idea there was an emoji for persevering, and I recently stumbled upon it and had a laugh 😆
It could not be more accurate.
LOL do you agree??
I’d say it is spot on. 😣

Today marks the start of another #running chapter in my life!!! The last two marathons, nycmarathon and chimarathon 2019 I was pregnant with Freya… three years and two babies after I will be running a marathon again, number 6! runcim262 is one I always wanted to run, and is now so close to me!!! 🏃🏻♀️ 🔥 ❤️
I would be lying if I said I am only excited and not terrified at the same time to go into another marathon training cycle in the late summer/fall 2022, especially considering it will be with lukehumphreyhmm plans, which are no joke!!! 😱
But this is who I am and I always need a good challenge!!! Given all will be ok health wise I will be trying a #sub5 in 2022!!! Yay 😀
It’s funny to say this only one week into my #halfmarathontraining cycle for nyrr #nychalf2022 , but a girl gotta have big goals!!!
See you in Sacramento on December 4th 2022!!!

I can't believe it's only been 1 week since I ran the runcim262 marathon! Time goes by so much slower when you are not running, it honestly feels like it's been a month!😂 I did two strength workouts, one body weight on Thursday, and the other at the gym today, but nowadays nothing substitutes the feeling of a run! Super excited to get back at it tomorrow starting with a nice and easy 3 miles to ease back into it! 👍🏃♂️🙌

Paying for flight, a hotel and putting in months of work to run 26.2 miles sounds silly to a first time marathoner.
That feeling could not be farther from the truth for what a first time marathoner experiences in crossing that first finish line.
While popular among runners seeking to run a BQ Boston Qualifying time runcim262 is also a first time marathoner friendly course.
With a 12 month runway finally decide to take on the marathon distance you’ve told yourself “one day I’ll do one.” More to come on what training support to get you ready in 2022 will look like.
We’re going after several local races in 2022, but with the cheapest registration price right now and a runner favorite we’re setting our destination race eyes on Sac town.

#runCIM #road2CIM
I’ve had many messages comparing the Philadelphia Marathon and California International Marathon (CIM), so since both are fresh in my mind, wanted to give a rundown (get it? Run down? Har har har).
In my opinion, both are fast course and both cities have a lot to offer, not only for running but also for travel.
For the marathon course itself, if you want to run and see beautiful city views, so you actually feel like you’re also taking a tour, Philadelphia Marathon is better. Also, they have large crowds constantly cheering you on wherever you are. I often take advantage of that to distract my mind off; being intimidated by the marathon distance. As we all know, running a marathon is a mental game.
With the CIM, it is more scenic nature. Everyone is different, but the course can come off as boring to those expecting the large buildings and loud cheers a city can offer. Contrary, having no loud distractions or constant scenery of tall buildings may help you concentrate because again as we all know, running a marathon is a mental game. This was sort of torture for me because I was unable to distract my mind.
Weather is a crapshoot. This year Philly was in the 40s and dry, last year it was colder and raining. In CIM, there was the fog… 99 % humidity.
Looking forward to philly_marathon 2022.

CIM RECAP
7 days ago I run my 11th marathon and PB time for 26.2 miles in Sacramento. I have PRs that I’m proud of for the 5K, 10K, and half marathon. But I have not been proud of my full marathon times.
I started marathon training in a new city after moving cross country in July, literally knew no one and for the first time ever I had to marathon train by myself. I was grateful to have coach Jen zenintexas with sonicendurance prepare me for CIM.
I had a good training block for CIM and I felt like I had the potential for a good strong finish but mentally I didn’t feel like I had a PR in me. Leading to race day was a very distracting week, intensely busy and stressful. I also made a mental mistake in assuming that the race course was “easy”. This race is heavily marketed as a net downhill course and fast and largest BQ qualifier. My brain registered those descriptors as race was all downhill - nope - there were so many climbs and for me even though I’d agree it’s a fast course, it was actually tough too.
On race day I started out very strong and run a very very strong first half. I made 2 bathroom stops - mile 13 and mile 17. Mile 13 stop was a quick one but mile 17 stop got to my head and my tired legs started talking to my brain. My brain started struggling and it was a crush and burn ending 🔥🔥- I was really tired, struggled for the last 10K way harder than I had expected.
My PR was 16 minutes BETTER than my last in person race so I was very happy with that.
It is not possible for everyone to be first or second or elite or age grouper, or have a BQ time - what matters is most is that you give your best. As a poster child for the average runner, race success for me is defined as the result of the best effort. CIM was a good best effort that I am proud of - 4:50:26
WHAT’S NEXT - excitedly looking forward to the best marathon weekend ever at chevronhoustonmarathon. 5 weeks to race day 🎉🎉🎉

One week ago, I was just waking up to get ready to run the best race of my life. Part of me didn’t think I could ever get that sub-3 I’d been chasing for so long. And yet, a part of me was utterly confident that not only I could at CIM, but that I should. Looking back, I think there’s several major reasons why I finally got over the hump.
1. More mileage. There’s no substitute for running more. Pre-pandemic, I was running 45-50 miles/week. In the 30 weeks leading up to CIM, I was averaging 84. Simply put, during the marathon, I had endurance to spare. At no point did I feel out of energy or hit the dreaded “wall”, even though I took only two gels (miles 8 & 15).
2. More long runs. My long runs top out at 16 miles. But for past marathons, I would have maybe 2-3 runs of that length in the 3-4 months prior. Since July, I’ve been running at least one, if not two 16-milers a week.
3. More tempo runs. I used to run more intervals than tempos, because they were psychologically easier. Intervals are useful, yes, but not as much as tempos for longer distance races. So I switched it up. This year I’ve done 25 tempos vs. 11 intervals. The funny thing is, my last 10 miles at CIM were almost exactly at tempo pace, yet I never had a 10-mile tempo run all year.
4. Weight loss. I’m down 22 lbs since my last 26.2mi PR at Chicago in 2014. Now, I didn’t set out to lose weight, but bouts of gastritis since 2017 have led me to finally start watching what I eat, which has led to a huge loss in fat percentage (I was always skinny fat). They say each pound lost equals a 1-2sec/mile gain in speed. I went from 7:15/mile to 6:45/mile. So yeah, that sounds about right.
5. Obsession. This is probably the most unhealthy of the major reasons. I HAD to get that sub-3. I needed that validation that I was a fast runner. Some of you only know me as a runner, and I felt if you know me just for that, I should be good at it, right? Am I being dumb? Absolutely. But it fueled me to push myself.
I’m not saying all of the above is the formula for sub-3. I’m just sharing the road I took.
Thank you for attending my TED Talk.

*VOLUME UP/watch it through* I definitely have no idea who would use such vulgar language after crossing the marathon finish in under 3 hours. Definitely not me. 😬 (My bad) #road2cim #californiainternationalmarathon #marathon #runner #instarunners #runnersofinstagram #runningmotivation
🏃🏼♀️REFLECTING ON A MARATHON DOUBLE🏃🏼♀️
It is not very common for athletes to run more than one marathon in a season, but it seems to be a bit more prevalent recently. Maybe that is because of COVID or super shoes or people testing their limits. But having done it now, I absolutely loved it!
Reflecting on races and experiences is an important piece of getting better so swipe through to see some of my reflections and comparisons on my marathon double and the differing experiences of each race.
Boston Marathon Oct 11, 2021 ☑️
California international marathon Dec 5, 2021 ☑️
Marathon double ☑️☑️
Excited to see what is next ☑️☑️☑️
I will still be reflecting for the days to come but thought I would share my initial thoughts.
Now to continue to enjoy the off season! 🥳🎉🤩🎄☃️
And embrace being a 2:33 marathoner 🤯🔥
Got any questions about my experience?!

***marathon doubles are not for everyone and should be coached to appropriately.
I had so much fun running CIM last weekend! Spent most of the race grinning ear to ear, grateful for our awesome Dennis & Lynne support team, perfect running weather, and hilarious spectator signs. My subpar training somehow didn't catch up to me until the very end and I surprisingly averaged sub-9 pace. J had a tougher day with a calf cramp, but it meant we got to run together for a bit ❤
I have big goals next year and am exited to put in the work and chase them down. CIM 2022, I'm coming for you!

CIM 2021 Race Recap Part 2/3
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Mile 10-20
Glutes and hamstrings started to feel stiff by mile 10 (they’d been tight the entire week). I tried to stay relaxed and shuffle one foot in front of other to stay loose. Banked few seconds in the mile 10-13 downhill miles.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ran into _sai_beeeee at mile 11, we’d planned to run 2:50 together but couldn’t find him at the start. I led him through mile 20.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I crossed the halfway point at exactly 1:25:00 (half of my A goal), luck or precision? You decide. Either way I was poised to hit 2:50. My garmin said 13.2 at halfway (.10 extra) avg 6:28, so I’d need to go 1-2 sec faster per mile to sneak under 2:50. No problem I thought, I could pick up the pace.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
At mile 18, some runners started walking here. My pace continued to drop as my energy level dropped steadily. I aimed to stay near 6:30.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Mile 20 - 22
This is where “the race starts” . Soon after mile 20, a pack of women flew passed me from behind. Their strides looked determined and effortless. They were likely going for 2:45. A few of us tried to latch on but failed.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Mile 21 and 22 were tough. Many runners started walking. I felt tempted to do the same. Fatigue started to set in, I was losing focus. I was losing sight of A goal. So I swung my arms as hard & wide as possible to keep the momentum up. I looked at my garmin, pace dropped from 6:25 to 6:27, then 6:32. Ahh shit, my body can’t keep up.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I trained hard to get here, I am NOT throwing in the towel now. If I can’t run I’ll walk, if I can’t walk I’ll crawl. I’m going to get this done.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Last recap will be posted tomorrow.

TFW when you break through the wall that knocked you down 2 months ago.
When I hit mile 20 in Chicago, the wheels had already come off. My place had slowed dramatically and the fade would accelerate from there.
But when I hit mile 20 at CIM, my pace was steady, and I knew I had what it would take to finish under 2:55. The remaining miles were the hardest of the race, but crossing that bridge strong gave me the confidence boost I needed to lock in, embrace the suck, and finish at 2:52:45.
This year’s runcim262 was a race of resilience. It was a not only a bounce back from my rough race at Chicago. It was a comeback for our running community: for the thousands of us who lined up to take on the miles and the tireless supporters who pushed us forward. We picked ourselves up, brushed ourselves off, and moved forward—together.

That moment a few miles from the finish when you realize that this last race of the season is going to exceed everything you may have hoped for. Running happy, smiling inside and out, because you get to do what you love - despite everything else going on in your life. Crossing that finish line at CIM last weekend felt wonderful and epic for many reasons. I am so grateful! 🏃🏻♀️🍀🙏🏻 runcim262 #grateful #running #marathon #thankful #runcim #seasonfinale sacramentorunningassociation
One week ago I was preparing myself to the runcim262 CIM race.
My first time carboloading for a race 😳😆, and it was so much fun.
No walking allowed or having city sightseeing, as a result go early to your hotel room and do nothing.
•
On this recovery week I was thinking about all things I had done to achieve my one ☝🏾 goal.
•
For me it was not only a one thing go ahead run. I needed to have it all.
And by that I mean:
Using the best watch garminfitness
Running Training runcoachsays by hiruni_w
Strength training oamaya304
Healthy nutrition for before, during, and after the race carlaminutricionista
Healthy muscle skeletal body healthfirst_spine
To y’all, thank you, gracias, thank you!!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🤩🤩💃🏾💃🏾☺️☺️♥️♥️
Also, massage and stretching!
Sounds like a lot, but is the less I could do for go ready for a race.
Some new strategies too for race day, including taking off the cap 🧢, cutting the pants and even the shirt 👚 😅😂
•
I now there’s still room for improve, but I feel like I started from zero with this race.
Knowing all the things I learned, and use them for my future races to come is the wiser thing to do!!! ☺️🥳

I didn’t cut much from that BQ time, but I am extremely happy that I got a tiny bit under my qualifying time. Lets see cutting times bostonmarathon come with, for 2023.

Race and training Recap:
This was my first runcim262 and it did not disappoint. It has definitely been quite a journey. I essentially did very minimal training since the pandemic began so I had a long road ahead at the beginning of this cycle. I logged a 12wk base phase of pure easy running that started the first of June. Mileage was 50s-80s (avg of 72 per wk).
I then did a 15wk Marathon specific phase based mostly off of Daniels Running Formula type sessions. A lot of MP work and tempo work on tired legs. Sometimes 2 long runs a week with one being easy and the other with MP work mixed in. All of the weeks were 70s with a few low 80s.
I went in feeling somewhat fit but a marathon is a marathon and things can go south quickly.
The plan was to hover around 6:20s for 20 miles then smash the last 10k in about 6:06-10.
The hills of #runcim are quite deceptive. Needless to say my quads were shot the last 10k and couldn’t squeeze the pace much. I felt every bit of 40 years old but I ended up with an almost identical split with a total time of 2:46:49. A PR of about 3min.
Thank you to my friends and family for the support during this buildup and especially to kristingarcia80 who canceled her CIM to be a soccer mom during that weekend.
I’m hanging em up for the rest of the year then going to reassess.
