Should I keep going?!

Are you new or newish to running? This post is for you. I am not a pro, but from my experience training for races and also volunteer coaching for two local groups, this is what I would tell you.

Here’s a trailer so you know what you’re getting into. 😉 I’m a slower than average runner, mom of 2, teacher, and traveler. I don’t know if I’ll ever be fast but I’m not focused on speed right now and I never was. Do I wish I was faster? Yes, but that’s for another post.

.

You could say I started running in high school on the cross country team, but really I feel like my running journey began in 2008. I had just moved and one of my new friends asked the friend group if anyone wanted to train for a half marathon. I SAID YES! I trained for a handful of seasons with a great running group in town. I even did a season of coaching (which I loved). Fast forward a handful of years and I stopped training with the group because we were traveling so much, Then I got married, had two kids and now the short story is I’m back into running. I’m so excited to be back now and happy to connect with other runners.

Another long run in the books and this time, it was my longest run postpartum. The last time I ran this distance was a lifetime ago. Nothing fancy to see here but all the photos I wanted to take along the way this morning.

➡️I am so glad I found my way back to running and I hope to never stop again. 🥹❤️Here’s to running for the rest of my life as long as I’m able. Now everyone come to Austin and run a race here!

It’s time for yapping on the trail. Here is the all the clips of me yapping on the 10 mile loop from last week’s long run. I never uploaded it so here you go. Enjoy!

Run Austin’s 10 mile loop! (A quick slideshow) It was a cloud day but I was excited to run near downtown Austin on the 10 mile loop. If you’ve never done it before I highly recommend. If you don’t live in Austin, this is the route I would recommend if you ever visit. You don’t have to do all 10 miles, you can slice and dice it however you like. 👍🏻

Now the question is… do you want me to edit the video I took for a reel? 🤔

Hey runners, have you ordered from @thefeed before? This is my first order and see if you can count how many times I tell you “I’m excited” during this reel. 😆

➡️Here’s to showing the everyday, real parts of getting back into running and training for races. I wanted to order more from the feed, but I had to practice self control. I plan to put more fuel (and new running shoes) on my birthday list this month. (Wink wink).

I have a few running essentials that I use all the time for my runner lifestyle. Everyone has a pair of shoes they love or a smart watch, but have you tried the @saltstick chewable electrolytes or the @saltstick electrolyte capsules?

I use the chewable electrolytes everyday before every run. I use the electrolyte capsules before my long run. I also carry the chewable electrolytes in my pocket in case I want more!

Just checking…I had to try this trend. (Some of the trends I don’t want to try, but this one I wanted). And some of these might just be good reminders for me, #iykyk

What did I miss? What would you add?⬇️

Just an appreciation post for my favorite things today on my long run: a new favorite candy used as fuel (thanks @eatrotten ), cotton candy skies, blurry photos and the water fountain/bathroom mid long run.

What are your favorite things from your long run this month? ⬇️

POV: a new #medalmonday but make it everyday at work.

I don’t have a treadmill room with a wall of race medals or a she cave, so my race medals are now at work. I’m a teacher and work is like my second home anyway! Curious to see which of my students notice first… or will it be a co-worker… hmmm, who do you think will notice them first?

Your reminder that a mile is a mile is a mile is a mile. (No matter the pace).

It’s so easy to think that everyone is a fast runner or that you need to run faster. And while it’s totally okay if you’re interested in becoming a faster runner… I just want you to know that your pace doesn’t define your running journey unless you let it. Running is for everyone and you are always welcome here.🫶
