I DID IT!!! honestly very mentally challenging as i haven’t run that fast that far in many years but i did it!! my racing plan was not achieved (start out conservative at just shy of 10 minutes per mile and negative split the rest of the way) but that’s okay. splits were 9:15, 9:35, 9:19. i ran with my friend the whole way who really kept me going and helped me push the pace at the end. and we cellied with donuts :)) 🍩

edit: just realizing now that when i went to blur out my name on my bib i made some artistic black scribbles 🤣🤦🏼‍♀️ oops!!

It’s after 6pm, the sun is still out and I’m wearing short sleeves! #springrunning (at Mount Vernon, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpyo8jxr5oh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Great day to be outside with #springrunning conditions. I made another step up in distance today, going for 4 miles. That’s the longest I’ve run in almost 10 months! I kept it all easy today and just let my body find the run. That may be why my last mile was my fastest and that was a mostly uphill mile, too. My @zensah compression socks and my favorite trainers, the @altrarunning Torin, made sure it was a nice smooth ride as well. Afterwards I strength trained and I now feel like I got it all In today for sure. #mastersrunner #masterstriathlete #masterstrackathlete #mastersxcrunner #mastersroadrunner #runva #tracktraining #xctraining #neverstopstriving #justkeepgoing #altratorin #zensah #zensahambassador #teamzensah #withoutlimitz (at Mantua, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CanRDLJp_e5/?utm_medium=tumblr

This part of the trail is still soft with patches of ice, so my pace reflects that, but I also had some pretty good splits in between all that. #runforfun #determined #goals #runnergirl #justdoit #running #runnersofinstagram #runner #womenrunners #runningwoman #900miles #springrunning #8KinMay https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv9sjS5FFKy/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=rs4pdj9bssoq

Raced an 8k this morning, then did another 7 to make it a long run! Was aiming for 18 all together, but my stomach was all 🤢 today so I decided to take it easy.

The race itself was okay. It’s a beautiful day, and I was definitely overdressed. I also couldn’t help obsessing over the fact that it was just part of my run today, and I think I sort of psyched myself out mentally. Fingers crossed my long run next week goes a bit more smoothly!

Another shorts run 🥳🥳 and another 3 miles in the books. I could get used to this weather. 🤞fingers crossed I didn't jinx it. #rungirlrun #runnersofinstagram #runningcommunity #runwithyourdog #runwithasmile #tonguesout #sunsouttonguesout #springtimerunning #springrunning #fridayfeeling #fridayrun #sunnyrun #runtraining #enjoytherun #runningmakesmehappy #runningismytherapy #running2022 #runwithus (at Kessel-Lo) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcYlyRfLjtz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Cayuga Trails 50K Training Cycle Week 13 (5/2-8): Total time running 4 hrs, 51 min Total elevation gain 1,312 ft Total distance 28.6 miles ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Sunday Hill Sprints Sandwich 🥪: up to VCP, hill sprints (10 × 10 sec), and back. I saw the biggest swan ever in Van Cortlandt Lake chasing a smaller goose. Alpha-bird vibes. ○ Wednesday long run: Old Croton Aqueduct Trail from Sleepy Hollow to Croton Gorge Park and back. A rainy, solitary, fun long run up the good ol OCA. The best "be a responsible dog owner" sign is in Ossining. That sign needs to be posted every 6 ft of every block in NYC. 🐶💩🗑 My knees were super sore after this run, which kept me from running the rest of the week, giving me a lot of thinking time. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• I am currently at a training impasse, with knee pain being the symptom of overuse and an improper training protocol. As I think about my training over the past 6 years of running, I can see where I made consecutive errors, which have built up to this latest injury. Last year I coped with some really painful shin splints and learned to foam roll daily. That has fallen by the wayside along with strength work and consistent running. All of that combined with an erratic amount of sleep over the years has brought me to this moment. I will not be traveling to Ithaca this year for the Cayuga Trails 50K, withdrawing from the race. However, I plan to run a Virtual 50K in its place. It will likely not be on race day, but soon after, before the summer takes over and the intense heat, humidity and sun arrive. This is a learning process. I have come to a peaceful acceptance that this is part of my journey. It is a good idea for me to sit down and review what I am doing and make necessary changes with this realization. My 40s have been very challenging thus far and I need to acknowledge the lessons learned and grow into my conscious, improved self. 🙏🏽 #bronxrunners #runuptown #runwestchester #runthebronx #runnyc #strava #garmin #altrarunning #xeroshoes #cayugatrails50k #springtraining #springrunning #ultra #ultrarunning #trailrunning #mentalhealth https://www.instagram.com/p/COsfuVcHO8C/?igshid=1hzwe34f5vr0h

WHAT A RUN!!! 50 minutes, slow and easy was the plan. well, i decided to run to the lighthouse and back and that actually took me closer to an hour. this run had me a wee bit nervous, 50 minutes felt a little daunting. so much so that i did a whole flat lay last night so everything i needed would be ready to go. this actually went so well, i kept the watch on the heart rate monitor and did my best to keep the heart rate generally under 150. i succeeded until around halfway, where i think the creeping heat made it difficult to keep heart rate low. however i’m still pleased with my effort, i kept pace around 12 ish minutes and that slow plod let me comfortably run for an hour!! this run was a big confidence boost for me and honestly has me so so excited to run longer distances. really feels good to push myself!!

#burning describes my legs after some @mcmillanrunning #legspeed work today. 20 x 25 seconds at a hard effort with 1:00 recoveries. It’s been a while since I’ve done any kind of interval volume and these really started to feel hard after about 12-13 reps. I must have been moving quickly though, because a few times people in the street stopped what they were doing to watch me go by. The last rep came on a big uphill but I went for full effort on it anyway and was glad to start my cooldown after that. The cool May weather continues; the temperature was 59° but windy enough that I didn’t regret the long sleeves. And to think a month from now it will probably be 90° every day. #runblr #fitblr #springrunning #basebuilding #mcmillanrunteam #mastersrunner #intervaltraining #runningthroughlockdown #keepshowingup (at Mantua, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAGs5dtnHMj/?igshid=kmt3dtzwipgz
