My face when my Garmin connect app finally begins working again! . half marathon training: week 3, day 2: this is a recovery week. Yesterday I actually had NO workouts scheduled, which was really nice! Today I completed a “Fast Finish” run, and it felt great. I feel like I’m finally getting the hang out this heart rate training!

I give credit to people who run these half marathons. I will never do it again. Our time was 1:52:32. Yes me and Evan both said we were going to quit on mile 7 and 8 but we got under 2 hours! #mackinaw#greatturtlerun#puremichigan#brokenknees#worstever#halfmarathon#neveragain

Half marathon ✅off of my bucket list thanks to these crazy PA school friends who love running (like how!?!) And our friend Jeannette along with spectators who cheered us on on a cold rainy windy day 🌧💨🌊 you’d think after a half you feel so achieved, but the reality is that my body ached so bad, my body was freezing cold and I barely could walk or smile for a medal picture 😂 Mackinac Island🏝 you were gorgeous. I hope I can return when it’s warm and sunny ☀️ and without the 🏃🏽♀️part. As much as I appreciated the nature, oh man how brutal you are Lake Michigan. You were so windy and I thought I’d give up the last 3 mi, and as beautiful as you are I think I hated you at the end💔 Although my joints hurt, muscles are sore, l still don’t like running, and I’m so ready to retire from my short lasting running career, I’d like to run a flat race so I can run faster. Why am I so competitive 😭 so in conclusion, unlike what you see mostly on social media post run, this is how I think people really feel after a half 🤷♀️#mackinacisland #greatturtlerun #halfmarathon

I feel like a million bucks!! I went to runningfit_tcsouth today and got some new Brooks! I’m an Asics girl but they were so comfortable!! The kids went biking and I pegged in a 2.5 mile run. Running is something I used to do everyday but I let it slip away. I’m setting my goals on a fall half marathon. #beyou #bayshoremarathon #runner #pageant #runner #msmichigan #bikes #mom #maketime #fitfam #greatturtle #greatturtlerun #endorphins #sohappy

Another awesome race on #mackinacisland. It was carey86c and my second run on the island this year. After taking quite a break to nurse a hamstring injury, I was very pleased with the time I was able to put down. Naturally, carey86c finished ahead of me. One more run on the island this year to complete the tri-fecta. We will be back at the end of October for the #greatturtlerun #mackinacisle #bestrunteamever

💪 Today I completed a running goal that has been on my list for many years: The Mackinac Island Trio! 🪻Lilac Run 10K 🌊 Mackinac 8-Miler 🐢 Great Turtle Trail Run (5.7 miles) I spent a lot of time on the island this year, and it has been so fun and so meaningful. 🌸 I have done the 8-miler in the past and it’s a pretty easy and flat race. Lilac Run and Great Turtle were firsts for me and both had some serious climbing involved. 😵💫 Today was really challenging mentally. It was the most crowded race and super hilly, so it was hard to get into that blissful race flow. I also just had life on my mind. However, I’m glad I did it because I surprised myself. I have done a LOT of challenging races this year. A 6-hour trail run, a hilly half…and I have found that I don’t care about time but rather the mental challenge of it all. Going into next year, this will be more important than ever as I train for my biggest challenge yet! 😁 #running #trailrunning #mackinacisland #runmackinac #10K #greatturtlerun #lilacrun #mackinac8miler #slowafrunclub #sisu

A 10K on Mackinac Island pushing the dog in her stroller, on the last weekend before it closes? Sounds fun. Two days of rain and fog beforehand so we can stay inside and watch Perry Mason and play on our phones and computers? Better still. A two-mile walk uphill to get from the general store downtown with four days worth of groceries dodging mud and horse poop, a feat much harder than the 10K? ….well, what can ya do? #mackinacisland #greatturtlerun #wewalked #doginastroller #havaneseofinstagram #rescuehavanese #perrymason
