Very humid this morning. And finding parking was a challenge so started off stressed.
Did not run as fast as I wanted to cuz of those hills!!!
But nevertheless got it done. 5th race down 4 more to go to complete the 9+1! #slowrunner #over40runner #chunkyrunner #run #runner #running

Day 3 of NRC #halfmarathontraining. Supposed to be a 3 mile recovery run but I picked up some #asicsnoosatri16 on discount yesterday and wanted to give them a spin. Might use them for Saturday’s 4mi race in Central Park.

Started Day 1 of NRC Half Marathon training plan. Helped me tremendously last year so I’m gonna use it again this year to train for the #statenislandhalfmarathon.

Since coming back from injury I havent been comfortable or felt in shape for runs longer than 3 miles. Not sure if it’s the heat/humidity, I am more tired lately, and I did gain a lil bit of weight. Maybe it’s a combination of a lot of things that’s making me feel this way. #over40runner #slowrunner

Retiring the novablast - started to feel some knee discomfort and the midsole felt flat. Picked up my favorite shoe from last year on discount - invincible 3 for daily training. #over40runner #slowrunner #chunkyrunner #runner #run #running

New shoes!! From everything that I have read up on these, I’m hoping to use these for my long runs as I gear up for half marathon training soon.
5k run with mostly tempo pace.
Half marathon training starts on July 7! #slowrunner #over40runner #chunkyrunner #runner #running #run

First time running the #queens10k and I had a blast. Stopped raining so the weather was nice. Didn’t PR but not a bad time for having to starting in the dead last corral. Looking forward to next year! #chunkyrunner #runner #run #running #slowrunner #over40runner

First time running the #queens10k and I’m super excited about it. The weather may not be ideal but I’m planning to go out there, enjoy it, and focus on finishing.

10k race
Hot out there but I did it. Didn’t get the fastest time but that’s ok given all that I had to get through since December. Will be more trained and ready for the next 10k race in Queens!

Last training session.
5k easy run. Taper week.
Felt pretty good out there. Grateful to get through this training block without any injuries. Looking forward to race day! #running #slowrunner #chunkyrunner #over40runner #10ktraining

Race day is in 12 days!! During last year’s training block, I ran a 10k practice run at 11’04” pace and ran the race at 10’33”. This year I ran the practice run at 10’49”. Hopefully that means good things this year 😊 #running #over40runner #chunkyrunner #slowrunner #10ktraining

10k long run. Not sure what happened but I didn’t run this as fast as I thought I would. Might have started off too fast or maybe I’m not as fit as I think I am. But it’s a good reminder to keep discipline and consistency in mind. #running #over40runner #chunkyrunner #slowrunner

My #unitednychalf finisher medal arrived today!! While I didn’t get into this year’s race, it was a blessing. Coming off an injury, I would not have been ready this year and it might have not been a good experience. But, for me, this medal signifies that I will be right there in 2026!! #running
