I didn’t get a chance to post my run from yesterday morning, because I was focusing on my dog…she FINALLY ate dog food & not just food we’ve been specially cooking for her and hand feeding, but actual dog food!!! Yesterday made a week since she had surgery. Yesterday was my first run since Sunday, because I haven’t gotten much sleep tending to my dog. Last Friday was my dog’s 10th birthday, but we never got to tell her Happy Birthday so last night after her eating, we celebrated the small wins, sang Happy Birthday through tears, and gave her her birthday present, a @kongcompany Pumpkin Wubba that we have named Punkin…she has toted Punkin everywhere!
I definitely prayed during yesterday’s morning run that we’d see some changes in my dog…and thank God! I’m surprised my run went as well as it did with not having run since Sunday…maybe it was the @humagel, the @buzzbombcaffeine, the creepy mask, and the skunk 🦨 sighting, as well as the cooler temps & finding out I had received a $100 donation to my @stjude fundraising efforts from a friend that knew my dad.💗

I received my @bound.running Pacer Sports Bra. I wanted a bra that was a little bit longer, but I’m now questioning if I should’ve sized up. She’s definitely compressive, which I like…I don’t want things moving, but being on HRT it’s making question myself/the fit…I’m in-between sizes & it’s so frustrating. I love that there’s a back pocket for your phone & 2 side pockets for smaller items. #boundrunning by @teacherintraining75

I’ve been so busy nursing my sweet dog back to health after her surgery Friday that I completely forgot to post my long run from Sunday. I made it 10 miles…first double-digit run of this training cycle…first double-digits since the Viper 25k in March. Along the way, I prayed for my dog, found $5 that will go towards my @stjude fundraising, and got to see our new hospital in its final stages…I’ve been watching it being built on my long runs for over a year.

Let me tell you…this unbelievably, sweet girl is a fighter! She had emergency surgery today, on her 10th birthday of all days. She had a blockage in the loop of her large intestine of 8 inches of hair & a small object, as well as some hair in her stomach. Last night was a long, sleepless night! This morning we felt like we were giving her her last kisses & telling her if she needed to let go, she could. We have shed many tears over the last week. I got to visit her after work today. All the girls at the vet clinic were telling me how much they love her when she comes in & how sweet she is. I couldn’t have asked for a better dog! Happy Birthday, my sweet Cammie!💗 taken in Old Hatchie Veterinary Clinic by @teacherintraining75

This sweet girl’s 10th birthday is today, but unfortunately she took a turn for the worse last night & is having surgery today. Hoping my kisses this morning weren’t the last ones to give her. I am totally falling apart & my heart is breaking into a million tiny little pieces. by @teacherintraining75

My sweet Cammie is on the mend, but we’re watching her carefully. And yes, the hubs is kicked out of the bed so she can sleep with me. by @teacherintraining75

I haven’t run in over a week due to insomnia from a new medication (I decided that med was no good for me) & my dog becoming very sick. I finally got a chance to get out for my 8 mile run while my husband watched the dog. The temps were so nice & that gorgeous sunrise! I prayed a lot on this run. I saw a cardinal in the middle of the road & felt like it was my dad telling me everything was going to be ok. Tomorrow, my sweet Cammie goes back to the vet for another X-ray to decide if they need to do surgery. This run did me a little good even though I felt I was on the struggle bus…a blue raspberry popsicle mid-run to go with my Raspberry Salt @drinklmnt was perfect & ending it with @nesquikusa chocolate milk mixed with @buoy electrolytes rescue drops for recovery. Hope everyone had a better weekend than me! Here’s to hoping the week gets better!

It’s been a rough week…dealing with insomnia from a new medication that my doctor put me on due to my hormones, needless to say I decided to stop it, I couldn’t give it 14 more days. And now this sweet girl is really sick…we’re hoping this is not the beginning of the end.😢 by @teacherintraining75

Yesterday I saw a post on FB that @breakawayrunning was canceling all of their training runs for @stjude . I hate I didn’t make it to Memphis last year to train due to migraines and was waiting for the mileage to ramp up for it to be worth my drive which was going to be today. As I ran this morning, I thought about all those years I got up at 3:30 to leave my house by 4:15 to make it to Memphis before the runs would start at 6am. I thought about how I had spread my wings and ventured out on my own to run with people I didn’t even know. So so many people I met along the way & many friendships I developed from it. Many miles shared. Many conversations had. Many karaoke miles had. We were all running for a purpose…a reason…one that is HUGE to the Memphis running community and that is @stjude. Many of us were fundraising as HEROES. I can say that I am truly grateful that going to these training runs in the beginning gave me a confidence I never had before. Through running I found ME! I found my passion! And part of that passion there’s a spot carved out in my heart for @stjude. So with all of that being said, thank you @breakawayrunning for a fantastic ride! It is so bittersweet! Now I will continue my @stjude training solo. If you’d like to help me reach my fundraising goal, the link is in my bio (https://fundraising.stjude.org/goto/jennifermarcum). $30 for 30 days of September for #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth

I finally slept decent & felt good enough to get out for a run! It was so humid. Tennessee is under a heat dome & it feels like we’re trapped! I wanted to quit a few times, but I kept pushing & let me tell you…there’s something about that @buzzbombcaffeine that’s putting a pep back in my step…my new @mounttocoast don’t hurt either!✨ I really needed this run…thanks to good ‘ol hormones, menopause, and just not feeling myself lately. #garmin #goGarmin #beatyesterday #LeagueOfGarmin #LeagueOfGarminCaptain by @teacherintraining75

Yay! My @buzzbombcaffeine is finally here! I loved trying the samples I was sent, but I really liked how quick-dissolving the Lemon 🍋 Drop flavor was! #buzzbomb by @teacherintraining75

If I had $2-$3 donated to my @stjude fundraising account for each @wizkhalifa pose made for Church on the Move, I would’ve already met, if not exceeded, my $4,000 goal. September is #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth. So if you’re poppin’ @wizkhalifa poses this month for your Church on the Move, consider making a small contribution to my fundraising efforts by clicking the link in my bio (https://fundraising.stjude.org/goto/jennifermarcum). I’ll start off by donating $10 for my 2 @wizkhalifa -like poses. Who’s with me? #stjudeheroes #doitforthekids #churchofthelongrun by @teacherintraining75
