POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

So many emotions over this race.

Sad, proud, upset, shocked, grateful, angry, lucky, blessed, thankful but at the end of the day the feeling I am choosing is proud.

At mile 7 my injured leg started to hurt.
At mile 12 I thought maybe I should call it and finish with the half marathoners.
At mile 14 the leg pain went away.
At mile 18 I started to throw up and couldn't keep anything down. I would run, throw up, walk a little and repeat all the way to 26.2.
At mile 19 the sub 4 hour pacer passed me and I knew at this point I wasn't going sub 4 and that stung.

Im proud of myself for finishing 26.2 and proud of myself for not quiting when this was possibly the hardest race I've ever done.

Offical chip time: 4:07:47

At the end of the day its just one race and we can't always have good races. Thankful for what this training block has taught me and proud of all the hard work I put in.

Thank you Coach Toni for letting me to this start line.

Calling all runners, walkers, and anyone looking to level up their footwear 📣

@gbmpgh is now offering custom insoles from @footbalance 👣

In just 10 minutes you’ll have insoles that are made for your feet and your feet only. The process starts with a free analysis on the FootBalance scanner. After creating your insoles, try them out in your shoes in the store to see if you like them! Don’t like them? No problem, you’re not on the hook for any costs. Love them? Amazing! Buy them for just $90 (and get 10% off for being a member of Steel City Women’s Collective) and you’re on your way.

Your analysis can be emailed to you and will hang out in the GBM system for when you need to replace your insoles in the future. It’s recommended to get a new scan each year or after any major life event/trauma (e.g. injury).

With FootBalance insoles you have a 30-day comfort guarantee. Try them out on a long run or walk, if you don’t like them simply return them for your money back!

So what are you waiting for? Head over to Shadyside and get scanned today!
