I’d like to think that all the 💩 runs that happen during the taper happen because your body is saving up to give it your all on race day!

I mean this in a very literal sense…while not-so-great runs will never not annoy me, I’ve come to really like them during the taper. If I feel awesome I worry that I peaked on a long run instead of saving it for race day. And while I’m not aiming for any PRs and am just going to enjoy my first race back since March of 2020 … I still would feel mega stressed if I was having great runs right now 💜 so cheers to embracing those MEH runs and not letting them mess with our heads during the taper 💜 next stop @wmmajors @londonmarathon 🥳💙👟

Thinking of those of you who just found out your dream of running @wmmajors Tokyo Marathon this year has been dashed.

I think by now almost all of us have had to deal with the roller coaster of emotions that comes with a race cancelation that happens after most of the hard training has been done. There isn’t much anyone can say to make it feel better but there are some things in life worth waiting for and this race is one of them! You want to experience this event in all its glory and a modified event in a city under a state of emergency isn’t it.

My wish for you is that when you do get to run it you are as happy and as high on life as I was in this picture (and maybe a little less wet with warmer hands 😝)

Sending big big hugs 🇯🇵

You can’t control what happens to you but you can control how you react 💙

ADVICE/THOUGHTS wanted please ❤️ In the winter

ADVICE/THOUGHTS wanted please ❤️ In the winter of 2019 I busted my butt training to earn a BQ. I went from thinking I should quit running to believing I could be fast-for-me again. My daughter and sister came to cheer me on and support me in my race in February of 2020 right before the world shut down 💜

I WAS OVER THE MOON HAPPY the entire race even when I felt my legs and lungs screaming. I was beaming after and couldn’t shake the feeling that I finally was strong enough for all those life changes I wanted to make but was terrified of (I made them later that year 🥳)

I signed up for @wmmajors @bostonmarathon this year thinking my time wouldn’t be fast enough to get in … but it was 💛💙 I haven’t booked a flight or a hotel because it’s $$ and because I’m running @wmmajors London Marathon the week before 💛💙 but something in me wants to book a flight and just say eff it and go run it because I worked so hard to realize this dream and I feel like I’m giving up on myself. But then there is the responsible side of me that takes over and says I’ve run it 6 times, it’s expensive and I am running London - which should be enough for me.

So I guess I’m asking what would you do if you were me?! I know I’m supposed to follow my heart but I have decision fatigue and have made so many wrong life decisions in the past that I find myself not trusting my instinct/heart on this one.

💙💛 pics from my BQ race which was almost 15 minutes under my BQ time 💪🏻 something that would have felt impossible to the girl I once was who struggled to run one single mile without stopping 💙💛
