Back home from Chicago and it’s almost time for the BIG question, what is next? • • • Well first, I’m definitely planning on taking the time to get my injury in check and hopefully heal in the meantime.. but I’m also itching to plan. Do I enter the Chicago lottery again?! Do I sign up for my first trail race in December? Do I train for my first BQ attempt in the spring 🦄? Or maybe I should just chill?! . . . #mychicagomarathon #chimarathon #chicago #marathon #fastbraidfriday #instarunners #runnerscommunity #runnersofinstagram #teamnuun #nuunlife #hareac #tracksmith #nikerunning #oisellevolée #goodr #sfrrc #concreterunners #sharethespark #findyourspark #sweatpink
26.2 // 3:41:27 PR 💫 • • • Favorite #MedalMonday ever - here’s my long book 😂. Going into yesterday, I had one main goal - to have fun and finish happy regardless of my time. With my tendinitis flaring up again for the last month or so, I didn’t really know what my limit would be yesterday. I thought that I could realistically run a 4:30 and maybe even sub-4:00... but there was also a little piece of me that thought, “or what if I absolutely crush it?”. 100% - I ignored that little piece of me because I thought that would be CRAZY. . When reflecting on my actual race yesterday, one thought came to mind. They say you run the first third with your head, the second third with your legs and the last third with your heart. . I was feeling pretty good outside of ankle pain. Once I made it past mile 13, the biggest mental obstacles were miles 16-20 because I fell apart at mile 16 at Flying Pig last year and I fell apart at miles 18-20 at CIM last year. I did have to stop to use the bathroom at mile 20 - oops 💩, but I quickly hopped out and continued on my way. . Throughout miles 21-26, I continuously asked myself, “how bad do you want this?”. I was only able to run one 20 miler in my training cycle and it was 7 weeks ago.. I knew that I didn’t have the training for this last push but I also knew that it wasn’t that much farther and that I was on pace to PR. So I didn’t stop - even when I threw up (I’m apparently really good at throwing up while walking/running 😂) or when the strong winds almost knocked me over or on the smallest killer hill in the last 400m. . Thank you to our family who came all the way out to Chicago to support me, to all of my friends who were tracking me and to my PT @brimiking / @kauno_sf for getting me ready and listening to me complain for the past two years. . . . #chimarathon #mychicagomarathon #chicago #marathon #instarunners #runnerscommunity #runnersofinstagram #teamnuun #nuunlife #sharethespark #findyourspark #sfrrc #oisellevolée #hareac #concreterunners
BELIEVE IN THE BRAIDS ⚡️ > swipe for a close up 😂. • • • 7th marathon is in the books with a 7 minute PR! While I don’t recommend running a marathon with minimal training and an injury, I made it happen today through all the pain. I stopped to use the bathroom, threw up, almost got knocked over by the wind but FINISHED BIG. I got to hang out with @pavementrunner at the start, run with @iwasborn2run on the course (sorry for being a creep) and finish with thousands of other running friends. . . . #mychicagomarathon #chimarathon #fastbraidfriday #instarunners #runnerscommunity #runnersofinstagram #marathon #teamnuun #nuunlife #sweatpink #sharethespark #findyourspark #chicago #goodr #hareac #oisellevolée #sfrrc #concreterunners
Flat runner picture so you know it’s getting real. • • • Still debating (and low key stressing) about tank vs. long sleeve and compression sleeves vs. no sleeves but I still have 11 hours to get it together #SENDHELP 😂. Shoutout to my hero @sophiamao for the hand warmers, coming in clutch! . . . #chimarathon #mychicagomarathon #chicago #tracksmith #hareac #oisellevolée #honeystinger #teamnuun #nuunlife #genucan #momentumjewelry #sharethespark #findyourspark #instarunners #runnerscommunity #runnersofinstagram #koalaclip #goodr #nikerunning
Made it to the Windy City 💨. • • • Shakeout run is DONE! Missed all the planned shakeout runs/meetups this morning but got in 3.6 scenic miles and ran into @alliver_verzon & @m1ktan along the way. Now for coffee, carbs and shopping. Who’s heading to the expo today?! 🙋🏻‍♀️. . . . #chimarathon #mychicagomarathon #chicago #instarunners #runnerscommunity #runnersofinstagram #sfrrc #teamnuun #nuunlife #oisellevolée #nikerunning #sweatpink #running #inspiringwomenrunners
Another easy #SundayRunday on the trails with Cade and Cooper 🏃🏻‍♀️🐶🏔. • • • I’ll always love the pavement and the grind of road running but I’m excited to explore some new trails after Chicago. . . . #chimarathon #trailrunning #sanfrancisco #pacifica #runnersofinstagram #instarunners #teamnuun #nuunlife #nuuness #milesandpace #brooksrunnings #optoutside #oisellevolée
