✨ my marathon progress ✨

over the past few years, I've really chopped away at my marathon finish times
I know I say this a lot but I NEVER EVER thought I would be the runner I am today.
I'm so proud of who I have become, regardless of times.
Running has shaped me into a stronger, more confidence, happier individual. I've made friendships in this sport that will last a lifetime. I've truly found my happy place.

My number one tip is to believe in yourself.
Don't give up. Have those crazy dreams.

You never know what one small step can do to your life.

Now... The real question... What's next? 🤔

✨ CHICAGO MARATHON ✨

it was so magical last year.
this was my first sub 3 marathon and it was electric

right after the race, I signed up next year
I couldn't wait to run it again

fast forward to now.... I never thought I would be in this position I am today

it's hard sitting at home watching this race
I miss it. I would do anything to go back in time and try to change what happened.
But I can't. All I can do is learn from it and move forward

I'm so thankful to be where I am now.
I'll be back!

It's been rough. Hard. Exhausting.
but I've learned and grown.

trying to stay patient but it's hard
but I have hope again

cant thank the people who have been there for me enough
this has been a really hard season of life but my true friends have shown their faces 🩷

🌟 CHICAGO MARATHON 🌟

can't believe how fast it is approaching. this was the race where I first broke three hours in the marathon.
I love this race and this course so much.

Let's make sure you have the best race day:

1. GET YOUR PACKET ON FRIDAY - if you can, get it this day. It's still busy but you spend a lot of time on your feet trying to get your bib and look at all the booths

2. DONT CHECK A BAG - this just adds one more step to your hetic morning. Get a checked bag and bring your items with you and then just throw them all out.

3. WATCH OUT FOR SPEED BUMPS - I watched so many people trip on this humps and completely fall to their face. So watch your step!

⭐PEANUT BUTTER RICE KRISPIES⭐

for @krispy.runs this Saturday?? Or just because I love peanut butter??

I got @rnwy.life vanilla protein and had to use it in this recipe.

70g PB
60g honey
60g rice puffs
20g @rnwy.life protein powder

Add all the toppings in a large bowl and mix.
Then add your puffed rice and mix.
Push down into a dish and put it in the freezer!

THATS IT!

A great snack. Pre workout fuel. Or sweet treat!

These past 12 weeks have been an absolute battle

I have lost something I've done consistently for years.
Running has brought so many people and moments into my life.
When I lost it, I didn't know where to turn or who I was.
I thought my world was going to end.

But it didn't.

Instead, I grew.
Grew new bone, yes. But also grew mentally, spiritually, physically.

I gained stronger friendships.
I grew my marriage.
I went deeper into my faith.
I learned from my mistakes.

Did I want this injury to happen? HECK NO.
Did I need it to happen? Maybe.

I was heading down a bad path. I wouldn't stop until I was forced to. And this injury did that.

I fully intend to come back to running when I'm healed.
I'm not rushing into anything.
I'm learning. I'm only human.
