Since it’s Global Running Day and I can’t run coz my ankle is being an asshole (as @well.balanced.christine would put it) 😉... I thought I would reminisce on my running journey.
•
I started running about 14 months postpartum with minime. Before that, I always hated running... or never gave it a chance. But I decided to lace up my shoes one day inspired by an OTF coach, Sarina, who was training for the Nike Women’s Half Marathon in SF. And I made it a goal that I would build up to run that race the next year. So for my first race, I chose a local 10k event, just in case I hurt myself and hubby would have to pick me up. 😂 My farthest run before that was 5 miles... I had it in my head I would finish no matter what. Well being the rookie that I was, I went out too fast and by mile 4, I was praying to the heavens above that if I just finished, I would train better next time. 🙏🏻 I finished and immediately signed up for my next 10k! 😂 Must’ve been that runner’s high or the medal that hooked me in! 🏅🏃🏻‍♀️

EPIC weekend!!! ❤️ That is the only word that can even come close to describing this past weekend!!! Vancouver, the friendships, the 4am line for the showcase store, the laughs, the late nights, the foot massage, lack of sleep, the food, that time I rode a scooter, the race, the Sunset Festival, John Summit and ALL the reflectives!!! OMG @lululemon Seawheeze Half Marathon weekend did not disappoint!!! This is my second in-person SW weekend and I hope it’s not my last!!! Counting down the weeks til next year!!! 🤞🏼

THANK YOU to all the volunteers, the lulu staff and everyone involved in planning and executing this event!!! ❤️ Thank you to the girl who gave us friendship bracelets at the Showcase line! 🫶🏼 And thank you to the wonderful @annaabueg for taking amazing pics of our reflective gang at the Sunset Festival!!!! 🙌🏼 And don’t get me started on all the vintage/ classic lulu in full display ALLL weekend!!! Seeing all the rainbow reflective, the bugs, the mermaid, the Waldo, the Monet, the maps, and all the previous SW prints just reminded me of how much I love @lululemon ❤️ by @run_noty

Surround yourself with people who make you want to push yourself to be better.

I had the privilege of running next to Keanna in class today. The woman is speeeedy! ⚡️ Just running next to her made me want to run faster. So I pushed myself and hit 10.0 for 15 secs… I haven’t touched that button in years! 😳 But she inspired me and I managed! 🏃🏻‍♀️

Last week I made it on the leaderboard during the 1/4 mile benchmark. I was 3rd place in my age group! 🥉🏃🏻‍♀️ @glennspin motivated me to go just a little faster… add another .1 or .2 she said. I listened, I managed. I was surprised and very proud of myself. I’m still a work in progress, but these little wins add up to a lot and gives me confidence. I am grateful. 🫶🏼

.25 mile benchmark 🏃🏻‍♀️
Goal: 120 seconds
Round 1 = 103 seconds 🥵
Round 2 = 99 seconds 💀

Today was benchmark day. Quarter mile and it’s a sprint from the get go… I managed to improve the second time around. Thanks for the push and dance breaks @glennspin Now I need a nap… 😵

I’ll be 52 next month and I am embracing my fitness journey… it’s been a roller coaster ride on the scale and clothes sizes. But I’m a work in progress and I’m just gonna keep working. 💪🏼

I’m still here. Just quietly working…
This is me… no filter.
I’m a work in progress.

We ran 4 sunrise miles and coffee this morning. 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️ That’s the longest I’ve ran all year! 🥺

I wasn’t sure if my knee would hold up the 2 miles uphill and 2 miles downhill. I didn’t event tell @inspired.chick that I haven’t run this far since I found out about my knee. She took it nice and easy on me and thankfully, the knee held up. 🙏🏻

I’m hoping this is the beginning of more miles to come. But today, I’m grateful for these 4 pain free miles. Thank you @inspired.chick for getting me out there and encouraging me. 🫶🏻

Feels good to be back! 🏃🏻‍♀️🏋🏻‍♀️🚣🏻‍♀️🧡
Starting to rebuild that strength and endurance. The slower paced runs on the treadmill has been good so far… no pain and no swelling. I’ve also been riding the bike and doing the glute exercises that my PT from @prosportpt taught me.
