I find Brianna Weist to be a beautiful writer. Her words always resonate and seem to find me just when I need them ❤️💖

Slow mornings 🌞 I tried meditating with Harley this morning. She was chill enough, I feel like this could be good for her.

Yesterday both sucked and was so much fun! I'm super proud of myself for holding my pace and completing AtB in under 3 hours. The weather definitely could have been better 😂
Marathon training officially begins this week, Conquer the Crater, July 20th 🔥

Fun little hike today. Harleys first official hike and she was such a good girl!

Some photos from deload week. 2.5 days until Around the Bay and the weather is looking chilly with rain 😭 this is why we train in the rain!
Also, meet Harley. Six months old, husky mix and my future running buddy. I can't wait to take her on all the adventures ❤️

First trail run for the year. I'm excited to be back on dirt, struggling up hills and enjoying the run down 🔥

Easy 10k, one week to Around the Bay 30k race, deload starts today.

Spring running 🌷🌻
I spent some time strength training this morning, snuck a quick 10k in at lunchtime, and I'll be climbing tonight! Fridays are always fun days.

Inside run and cycle today, avoiding the rain.
Treadmill runs are a great reason to do incline sprints and sprints in general 🥵
I do "tabata" style sprints, 20 seconds intense running, 10 second rest.

Beautiful morning for a slow and steady run 🌞
Running isn't all about being fast. It's also running to how your body feels that day and enjoying it, too.
I love trail running for these reasons, slowing down and embrace nature.

I have been reducing my caffeine intake over the last month & trying to improve my sleep! I've reduced daily intake by 50%, and weekends by a lot more!
I've been feeling so much more alert in the mornings without that initial coffee & my energy levels feel more stable overall.

25km run yesterday, last long run before Around the Bay. I did the last 12k of the race course, to get comfortable with the elevation and I'm happy to report back, it's not as bad as everyone is saying 🔥

I love oly lifting. The challenge, the technique, the feeling of lifting weights. Not much beats it.
I don't train the lifts with as much volume as I used to, I'm currently focusing on running, but I'm finding it impossible to give it up entirely for a more runner specific program.

A few long runs this weekend. Breaking in some new shoes, waiting (im)patiently for warmer weather.
With 3 weeks to Around the Bay, I have a 25km run planned for this weekend that follows the last 12km of the course, the section with all the hills!

I ticked a big goal off last weekend. I ran a sub two hour half marathon, 1:56 🎉🏃‍♀️ previous years time was 2:06. It feels really good to take 10 minutes off my time. It feels even better to know all my training resulted in this success.

Onto the next, 30km Around the Bay 🔥

Oh, and I applied to a new job. A finance manager position, I've been out of finance for a year now, and I miss it. I miss the numbers and I miss excel. 😂

Unfortunately, I got taken out by the ice and my ankle is protesting. Rest day today, which is always a mental struggle for me. I LOVE sticking to a plan and missing running days is tough!
Instead, I'm trying to do the adult tasks I continue to procrastinate on... taxes mostly.

What a week, and it's only Wednesday!
Our baby graduated puppy school last night 🥹
I bought the dip in Nvidia 😬
I felt really strong in the gym 💪

Refusing to Be Complicit
In his first week, the newly inaugurated president has proven once again that he rejects our laws, values and principles. It's a mistake for Democrats to try and work with him.
