#TrainingfortheHalf, Week 11, Day 21. Around and Around We Go. 3.2 miles, breezy 60°. 🍃🍃 Man, I was in no mood for this run tonight. My ass was DRAGGING. I was (sorta) complaining on FB that I wanted to quit, and my friends shamed me into going. Haha. 😛 Tonight's episode was a 3-mile progression run, with the object being to increase your speed with every mile. I did it - I pushed myself and increased my speed every mile, ending with a split that's my new season PR. 💪🏅 Thanks very much to my new friend Kathy for joining me on the last half mile to cheer me on (she's a much faster runner who had already finished her run)! It really motivated me to push for a fast finish. 🏃‍♀️💨 My record is intact: I have not missed a run. 🏆 Now it's time for 🍕and 🛌. #halfmarathonprep #halfmarathontraining #running #training #fleetfeetcleveland #fleetfeetmoremiles #fleetfeetrunningclub

#TrainingfortheHalf, Week 10, Day 20. A Day Late and a Mile Short. 5.2 miles, 50° and sunny. 🌞🌞 I skipped yesterday's group run because it was rainy and cold and I didn't feel like doing that to myself on purpose. I wasn't the only one (saw a few of my running buddies did the same).😂😂 So, I vowed I'd do it this morning because I want to be able to say, when the training is over, that I never missed a run. Yes, I missed a few groups, but never a training run. Anyway, this morning was also chilly and wet, so I ran this evening. Forgetting that evenings are always tougher. Oh well. Got in just over 5 miles. A bit short of the 6 I wanted, but I was getting that pain in my right arch again. I need to get that resolved or I'll never finish the race. 😑 Onward to Week 11! The end is in sight. 🏁🏁🏃‍♀️💪

#TrainingfortheHalf, Week 10, Day 19. Getting Better Every Day. 5.4 miles, 65°. FANTASTIC! 😎🌞😎🌞 5 miles seems like a relaxing treat these days! I must be getting better. And the weather has been perfect for the runs lately. I don't want it to get any warmer...🌡️ Things I learned today: -People actually listen to music when they run! Running with music makes me crazy because I get bored with a playlist halfway through. I always have a good couple hours of podcast backlog to keep me company. Fave running podcasts: @omnibusproject or TBTL. 🎧🚫🎶 -I don't like running at night anymore. I'm too damn tired! 😴😫 #halfmarathonprep #halfmarathontraining #running #training #fleetfeetcleveland #fleetfeetmoremiles #fleetfeetrunningclub

#TrainingfortheHalf, Week 9, Day 18. It's Possible to Feel Awesome After a Long Run. 9.5 miles. 52 and GORGEOUS 🌞😎🌞😎 My longest distance ever! The last 2 miles were pretty challenging - a weird pain in my left thigh (went away), and my right foot arch started to ache. But I made it. A hot shower and a foam roller are definitely in order. BOOYAH Things I Learned Today: -Keep going. You'll get to the end eventually! 🤯 -if you aren't going to go all the way, why go at all? 💪💪 #halfmarathontraining #halfmarathonprep #fleetfeetmoremiles #fleetfeetcleveland #fleetfeetrunningclub #training #running

#TrainingfortheHalf, Week 9, Day 17. Run and Talk. 4.3 miles, 60 degrees. It's definitely harder to run at night after a full day of work! Luckily the coaches get us out on beautiful trails - it helps! Tonight was fun - and slightly intimidating - because 2 of the coaches joined me for the last mile or so, keeping my pace and engaging me in conversation. I usually try to avoid talking while running (because I feel like a dope when I can't talk), but it got easier and it really helped me pick up the pace for the "last mile, fast mile". Things I learned today: - THE RACE IS ONLY FIVE WEEKS AWAY! AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!🤯🤯🤯 -I'll be ready. 💪 -Dog butts in photos are funny. 🐶🍑 #halfmarathontraining #halfmarathonprep #training #running #fleetfeetcleveland #fleetfeetmoremiles #fleetfeetrunningclub

#TrainingfortheHalf, Week 8 Day 16. 6.0 miles, 48 gorgeous degrees. 🌞🌞 PERFECT RUNNING WEATHER! So, I wasn't feeling so great yesterday morning, and didn't make it to the group run. I felt guilty about it all day, because it was held at a beautiful trail in Brecksville and I was really sorry I missed it. But I knew I'd run today so there's that, at least. Managed to haul my ass out of bed and get out there by 8am. Go me! 💪 Things I learned today: -Runners are friendly! Every runner I passed this morning waved and said hello! I'm noticing this more and more. It's weird and nice all at the same time.🙋 -My favorite thing about running in the morning is the coffee afterwards. ☕☕☕ -I've just gotten to the point where I don't care what I look like in these pictures anymore! 😎
