how I fueled for my marathon!!

I’d never done a three-day carb load before, but I finished with so much energy, felt strong all the way through & realllyy felt the difference.

Food is fuel baby (and not something to be scared of I promised) Let’s get strong and go fast 🤍

TL; DR: Chicago, you’re amazing and ily

This race was absolutely everything I wanted it to be. It was so so meaningful to run for my Grandpa Yoder with Team ALS (side note: we raised $770,000 as a team to END ALS!!!), while pushing myself on marathon #2. I was racing great for the first 20 miles, fueling, doing what I needed to (don’t trust Strava, I did NOT run a 7:22 in that mix, I just think the city needs to fix their GPS signal😅), then the hard part started. I ran the first ten miles with my head, the next ten with my legs, then truly the last 10K with my heart. Every time I felt like walking during that last 6.2 miles, even just “for a second,” I truly dug into my why - every person affected by ALS who will never take another step, and ran the entire way in honor of every single one of them. It was incredibly emotional but one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve ever felt.

Thank you again to every single person who supported me along the way, whether directly with @alsunitedil, through joining me on runs, or simply offering me words of encouragement. Special shoutout to @charathoner for listening to me gripe about the Texas heat for what feels like forever this past summer and for helping guide me through this marathon. I truly hope this makes a difference in the progression against ALS and I’m honored I got to be a part of it in this way with @chimarathon 🏃‍♀️🧡

week 12 of marathon training!🤙💖🦋

and my mileage has officially hit its peak🤸‍♀️ this might not seem like a big week to some, but as a historically low mileage girlie (& someone who is on her feet still walking 6-8 miles on a rest day), I’m super grateful to be feeling as good as I am at this juncture

< 3 weeks until we race in chicago🏃‍♀️ it’s been a long time coming, honestly idk what I’m going to do with myself when it’s finally here but all I can hope that the wait is worth it🤞
