Nana and I had a day! Today was filled with firsts for Nana: inside Diamond Head Crater, Mighty Mo, and the Pacific Aviation Museum. And of course we had to drive around and look at the scenery. And who’s not a sucker for some clear blue water of Hawai’i?

We’re on the move! From Kailua to Haleiwa I wore them out today but fortunately the weather held up for us. Now to finish the night off with Chocolate Haupia pie 🥧

So. Much. Fun. I have been looking forward to this race for a year! And I roped in the whole team to run it with me 🥹❤️ I’m so proud of the guys and what an incredible first 10k for all of them. It’s not everyday you get to run on Runway 1R at @dulles_airport! Such an awesome experience thanks to @united airlines ✈️

Flat is fun but man it seems like that runway never ends 🤣 the aviation geek in me is so nerding out and I know my dad would have loved it 🥰

I feel silly posting about my training runs because it’s just me running around by myself singing poorly on empty trails and sidewalks. But when I came home today and was criticizing my splits and intervals I realized something. According to my @strava I officially crossed the 400 mile mark today for runs this year. That’s an insane number to me.

Then I looked at my Apple awards (I’m obsessed with those stupid circles) and realized my first ever recorded running workout was 10/3/25. That’s just a little over 10 months ago. And since then I’ve logged 56 5Ks, 22 10Ks, and 2 Half Marathons (shout out to the 17.75k that’s close enough to almost count 😉) For those of you who have listened to me ramble on about running, I thank you for your patience. And for those who have talked me through my runs and the races and the setbacks, you are my true heroes ❤️

Today was a good day and those of you who run know not everyday is a good day, but today was. And what seemed like an insane feat has now become a training run that I enjoyed. I sang, I chatted with people, and I just enjoyed my body allowing me do to this.

Also it’s pretty cool when you get to capture the flyovers as part of your training run 😎 definitely one nice thing about not getting up early to beat the heat. My aviation friends can tell me the types of planes ✈️

10 in before 10!

Normally I only post when I run a race but these miles sometimes feel tougher. There’s no medal at the finish. Just the lactic acid and cinnamon roll cravings. You gotta get up early to beat the heat (but there’s no escaping this humidity) and then keep moving the rest of the day so your legs don’t get too stiff.

This is where the longer miles are built. This is when discipline and consistency mean more than accomplishments and motivation. There’s nothing to show for these miles other than knowing you got up and got it done. I don’t know if I will reach my goal time or if I will make the gauntlets at the MCM but I know I showed up and that in itself should be celebrated. But it’s hard when you want to do better and push harder and see different results. It’s hard to remind yourself that showing up counts and the only way you fail is to not try. Working on that part too.

Humid and rainy but still went out and got it done. Felt like I was breathing into a paper bag 🤣 but still had a good time. First time trying @untappedmaple and I gotta say they are pretty good! Onward and upward!

Week 2 done ✅

I normally don’t make posts like this but it was this thought that got me through today. It’s never ‘just’ any distance. I had to remind myself of that today. First place and last place cover the same distance and they aren’t all going to be easy. But my body can achieve what my mind believes. Nearly two dozen 10ks done and still many more to go. I couldn’t run a block a year ago.

6 minutes or 6 miles, walking running, or shuffling, it all counts. We can do hard things.
