you know I can tell I feel more like me than I hav you know I can tell I feel more like me than I have in almost two years!? I’m DREAMING about marathons again ❤️ I want this high again ❤️ 

Despite smiling most of the way through @lamarathon it was actually kinda the worst … am I right or am I right @ashleymateo?! I’m thinking I need a redemption race even though this was two years ago 😂 and I ran another marathon immediately before it 🤷🏻‍♀️ runners be crazy like that! 

What do you have on your race calendar this year!?

❤️ Mom joy x1million today ❤️ Colton is a ❤️ Mom joy x1million today ❤️ Colton is a 5th grade graduate!! He now moves to Middle School and ummm how is my baby so big - I started oversharing my life before he even existed. Miles finished 8th grade 🤯 and is now moving on to High School with Chloe (she is going in to 11th grade!!!!) ❤️ 

I loved waking up this morning and driving them to their “last days” ❤️ Those are the moments when I look back on life that I’ll treasure. 

They went back to their dads tonight and while that SUCKS for me (I love the last day of school!!!) I know that at the end of the day single moms do what they have to do for their kids. Unless you have been through it, it’s hard to understand. So many people say to me oh well I could never not have my kids 50 percent of the time - I’d die - yeah I thought that too and for months and months after they left I’d cry on the couch alone. But at some point, it gets EASIER - it’s never EASY - but it does get easier and you value the time with them more and hold tight to all the moments you do get while knowing that what you did (leaving) wasn’t selfish, it was actually selfless because you are teaching them that they are WORTH IT and that their happiness (among other things) matter. I taught them love by leaving. If you are a single mama (or dad) I SEE YOU ❤️ keep on keeping on 💪🏻 We’ve got this!

when I first started running 22+ years ago I thoug when I first started running 22+ years ago I thought that in order to be a “real” runner you couldn’t smile when you were running cause if you were smiling that meant you weren’t working and if you weren’t working and pushing yourself then were you even a “real runner” … now I know that a real runner is anyone who runs DUH … I also smile all the time while running for many reasons but one of which is because looking at smiling running photos makes me want to go run … cause RUNNING IS FUN … even when it’s not! 🙂🙃

Do you smile when you run!?

How I created a lifting habit ❤️💪🏻 ✨ How I created a lifting habit ❤️💪🏻

✨ Embraced being a beginner. When you first started running did you feel out of place and worry that people were looking at you!? 🙋🏻‍♀️ I knew I was going to feel the same way when I started lifting. No one knows how long you have been lifting or if you know what you are doing! No one is likely looking at you and if they are - who cares! Why do we let the fear of people looking at us and having thoughts we can’t control stop us from doing what we want in life!? 

✨ I paid per visit. Have you ever dropped a bunch of $$ on something fitness related only to then not use what you spent money on?! Paying per visit until I was consistently going to the gym weekly made me want to get my moneys worth every time I went. It also helped cement in my brain how many times a month I’d have to go to the gym to make it worth it. The more I went the lower the cost per visit to was. 

✨ I looked up a couple exercises before I would go to the gym and then added them to what I was doing. Did I have a plan? No. Did I know what I was doing? No. But I think that actually helped me cement the habit because I didn’t feel like I “had” to do anything when I went to the gym. If I tried something and truly hated it, I didn’t feel bad stopping and doing something else. It also made me interested in learning vs just doing what was written out on a plan. Be a student of life. I’ve been running for 20+ years and yet still consider myself a student.

✨ Joined a gym. I joined a gym once I was consistently going every week. This helped me in two ways — I made sure this wasn’t a phase + it felt like a reward for all the months of lifting. 

✨ Bought “gym clothing” that made me feel good about myself! I helped stop my insecurities before they started by wearing things that I felt good in … things that I liked the way I looked and that were highly functional! 

✨ I focused on how strong I felt vs how strong I looked. There is something VERY empowering about lifting heavy things when you are going through heavy things. 

✨ Celebrated little milestones like going up in weight, learning something new or improving my form. Little things are big things 😊😉
