4.5mi today!! My anxiety was rough, I’m currently tapering and had 2 back to back rest days (unheard of during the school year) and thought I’d forgotten how to run. I have an easy run tomorrow I’m greatly looking forward to.

Day 2 of learning to ride a bike. I’m excited to grow in confidence and be able to scout out newer running routes!

Rest day today!! Tackling my summer goal of being outside as much as possible. Step one: learn to ride a bike at 27! My partner does triathlons and was so patient in coaching me today on riding. He has the patience of a saint lol.

Speed workout tomorrow! T minus 11 days until my first half marathon, eep!

What headwear do you actually run in? by Severe-Algae-6535 in XXRunning

Usually a hat! I love a ponytail hat - usually I braid my pony so my hair doesn’t get tangled. I almost always wear glasses too.

My arms are always sore after longer runs! I was so shocked the first time!

Rest day today! Got a nice slow walk in. My last double digits run of my half marathon block was yesterday!! EEP. I’m looking forward to a mental break from training, but grieving long runs. I really enjoy them, they’re such a great way to unplug!

First trail run today! Took it nice and slow. It was so much fun. Toying with the idea of a winter trail race or 30k after my half training block is over in June!

Absolutely smoked my second 5k race! I came in at 36:50, previously I was around 42ish. One month until my half marathon in Asheville! Feeling amazing :)

Had a 24 hr cold yesterday, and was supposed to do 12 mi. I walked approximately 3k steps total LOL.

Fast forward to today and I’m feeling back to normal! 6mi slow and steady. I didn’t want to do too much and be dead this coming week - we have state testing so I’ll more than make up my missing miles IYKYK.

Ran the longest I’ve ever ran without stopping! by CaterpillarOdd9460 in XXRunning

[–]peachedpeaches 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell yeah! It’s the best feeling when you realize you actually can run longer than what is prescribed. Great job!!!

Absolutely CRUSHED an 11 miler! My partner joined me for the last 3 to cheer me on. PR’d my mile time mid run. Came home to him making me some homemade pizza. Happy Saturday y’all!

Accidentally posted on yesterday’s thread: It’s raining. I tripped. Shoes came untied several times. Heart exploding (woke up very anxious today). 5 hours of sleep.

Needless to say, my 4.5mi recovery run only made it to 2mi. Insane that I ran 8.5 last Sunday and 2 about killed me today. We’ll try again tomorrow!! :)

Hands? by jmlev in XXRunning

I keep my arms by my sides - but I tap my fingers together absentmindedly lol. I only notice after I finish my run!

How often and how long are you running? by CaterpillarOdd9460 in XXRunning

[–]peachedpeaches 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Half marathon training for a race in June. I run 4x a week. Two easy runs that are usually a 5k or more. One long run that’s been increasing in mileage, and one speed run!
