If I were smart, I’d have waited until I had NOT If I were smart, I’d have waited until I had NOT A PARKING LOT as the reflected panorama in my goggles to make this an A+ shot. Lesson learned for next time. That’s the fun part of lessons learned for next time. You get to try things again and do them better. Today was my first day out on a snowboard since last year, and I had worried all my hard work from last season had evaporated into a 9 month abyss. Well, it didn’t. Today I rode Buttermilk again, but I DID IT WAY BETTER. Trails with pitch that used to scare the snow pants off of me, I cleared clean on the first attempt. At first you don’t succeed... don’t just do it again, do it even better.
Happy New Year everyone! 🥳🍾🎉 Forget the c Happy New Year everyone! 🥳🍾🎉 Forget the cliche inspo of strength, resilience, love, etc. According to this little grid, the 2019 word of the year for me was LINES. Start lines, finish lines, lift lines, ridge lines, parking lot lines. Not mad about it. Time to outline some goals to crush in 2020.

In the past I have prided myself on NOT being one of those people who claims “oh but things just get so busy with the holidays,” so I’m feeling extra down on myself for being so inconsistent. Today was the first time I’ve been able to walk out my front door and go for a run at home in over 5 weeks. I logged a fair amount of tropical miles while I’ve been away, but there’s something to be said about the ability to pound your own sand. #homesweethome

It’s Monday, here’s that SeaWheeze medal. Isn’t she pretty? 🤩
Saturday morning shakeout run views. This weekend Saturday morning shakeout run views. This weekend it’s time to shift the focus from fun to fast, but I’m still feeling a little bit off. Back to back race weekends in places nowhere near home can take a lot out of you, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’m here, I’m happy, I’m healthy.

Less than a week until I’m on the way to FL for Less than a week until I’m on the way to FL for the @rundisney Wine & Dine 10K and Half Marathon! I’m admittedly a little bit anxious about running the double course challenge with the Lululemon San Diego 10K just a week later, but excited to carb load around the world. 😋🌎 • Food, Wine, Running... next weekend @waltdisneyworld will most definitely be the happiest place on earth. These ears and I are READY. ☺️
These legs. I’m proud of what they’ve done for These legs. I’m proud of what they’ve done for me in the last 7 days. • Friday morning, they accidentally threw down the third fastest 10K I’ve ever run. 24 hours later, they showed up and ran a “practice” half marathon in 2:11:57, hitting negative splits while they were at it. I gave them a day off, and got back to training on Monday. • Five more miles in the can yesterday, so I had no idea how moving my tempo run up a day would work out this morning. • The warmup miles felt meh and expectations were low. After a quick shoe change (oozy blisters & white shoes don’t mix), my goal was 4 miles in 9:45/9:35/9:25/9:15. Instead, I got a 9:24/9:10/8:57/8:26. Average tempo pace? 8:58. • I’ve only ever hit the 9:05/4mi on a treadmill in the three years I’ve been making noise about wanting to go sub-2:00 in the half marathon. Never before without mechanical assistance. • Often times I think about “if” I can break two hours, but now I feel a hell of a lot more comfortable with talking about WHEN.
Long runs are more fun when there’s bling and be Long runs are more fun when there’s bling and beer at the finish line. 🏅🍺 This weekend wasn’t meant to be a PR race, so it wasn’t. That means I had a bit of freedom to try things the scaredy cat in me wouldn’t dare risk 12 weeks of training for. • I kept my watch on lap setting and didn’t look at my overall time once. No clue a 2:11:57 would be the end result until I crossed the finish line. Took it one mile at a time. • For years I’ve envied how my run coach could just toe a half marathon start line like it’s NBD without a phone, headphones, or water. Today I did just that, and never regretted that decision for a single moment on course. @hmf_events had it covered. • Oh, and I ran in a crop top. The world didn’t end. I got zero funny looks or comments, something that many women fear will happen if they wear something they feel cute in, but are worried they’re not thin enough to wear. • Usually the clock is my nemesis on these half marathons, but today I got to play around in the sandbox a bit and realize that even though it’s October, some of the “scary” things aren’t really that scary after all. 👻🎃
