What was the most relatable line in this reel for you? And why was it “math is hard.”? 😂 Totally kidding, but would love to really know what the most relatable line was for you? Because I keep watching this back and can’t help laughing at myself 😂🤦‍♀️ This was the longest long run I’ve done up until this point and I was so nervous about it, but aside from the mathematical errors and roadkill, I had a blast🙌🏃‍♀️I used @honeystinger chews and @liquidiv for fuel😋 Have you had runs like this before? 😂 I would love to hear the stories🏃‍♀️ . . . #running #marathontraining #firstmarathon #relatablerunning #runninghumor #funnyrunning #longrun #halfmarathon #runningmotivation #runninginspiration #run #runhappy #relatable #relatablereels

Gotta love the redemption runs after a hard run the day before, am I right? Day 10 and a 10 mile run. Felt good the entire time, and honestly wasn’t as bad doing it on the treadmill as I thought because I just brought my phone and watched my current favorite show. It made the time pass so quickly. What do you do to make your long runs go by faster? #running #marathontraining #longrun #treadmillrunning #runhappy #run #instarunners #firstmarathon #firstmarathontraining #runnershigh

Does this happen to you?! I was fully intending on contemplating life and such, but my brain would not stop repeating this song. It was just this one line too…. For my entire run. Not sure how I feel about country music from Beyoncé, but this song has been all over my for you page😂 #running #runninghumor #beyoncecountry #runhappy #instarunners

Did you see the swelling? And would you have been worried? I 100% thought it was a stress fracture just based on the localized swelling and the pain seemed to be on the bone. But after about 24 hrs the swelling went down and I realized it was only soft tissue that was painful (so not a stress fracture) this run was a little over a week ago, so I’m doing good now, still just keeping my eye on it. I think what caused it is this particular pair of shoes. I ran my last half marathon and had similar issues with the same foot. They are carbon plated and I think I need a half size up because apparently Saucony Endorphin series shoes run quite a bit smaller than other brands. Needless to say I will not be wearing these shoes again for anything longer than 5k😬. . . . #running #marathontraining #firstmarathon #temporun #runliftrepeat

Let me tell you something… There is something truly humbling about going out on what’s supposed to be an ✨easy ✨ 3 miles with a stroller… and then gasping for air at 12min/mi splits Pushing 20lbs of stroller+20lbs of child up a hill is no joke. Neither is getting dragged down a hill by the 40lb weight with wheels. Question: Do you think I could beat you in a race with a stroller? Poll below 👇 I will race you anytime 😉 #running #marathontraining #firstmarathon

The water on the lens in my last shot was a paid actor🌧️ 4 easy miles after a killer leg day 🏋️‍♀️ the day before. Do you like running in the rain as much as I do? If not, what weather do you prefer to run in?

Day 2 actually felt surprisingly better than day 1 of marathon training🏃‍♀️😅 It might have something to do with the fact that I wasn’t pushing my stroller like I normally need to. Shoutout to @jacklanc40 for wrangling our toddler while I went out for an hour🙌 Still feeling a little delusional that I will be able to work up to 2hr plus long runs within the next few weeks😬 I guess delulu is the solulu🤪 or whatever the kids are saying these days. P.S. anyone else turn a shade of bright red when running in cold temperatures?? Or is it just me? . . . #running #marathon #marathontraining #longrunsaturday #longrun #runningvlog #runnersofinstagram #firstmarathon #firstmarathontraining #run #deluluisthesolulu #runningjourney #runningcommunity #relatablerunning #averagerunner #runhappy #run #runforfun #runforestrun

Am I crazy?? Probably 🤪 but can you guys please tell me that I’m not, so that I can feel better about this decision😅 26.2 miles seems a lot longer after you run 3 miles being pretty out of shape… so follow along to see if I make it to the race🤷‍♀️ it could be fun, it could also be really *not* fun🏃‍♀️ only the next 19 weeks will tell . . . #marathontraining #firstmarathontraining #firstmarathonjourney #runningmotivation #running #runningcommunity #runvlog #day1 #relatablerunning #runningjourney #whatamidoing

Can you relate? As a personal trainer I don’t share things like this usually, but this stemmed from a post that I wrote about running and how it’s important to let your body recover by going slow that way you can go fast. But when I wrote this, it turned into a story about my life, and I felt like it could be relatable and helpful for some people. Let me know which line hit you the hardest: A poem: Fast, and Slow I’m running the wheels of my mind, body, and soul Constantly, They wear to the rim, grinding with sparks against the pavement, yet I don’t recognize the toll “Take a break” I hear in the deepest part of my mind. But a louder voice answers, “I have to push through, keep chasing that goal” A great distance passes, and I stare blankly out the window. Before I realize anything is amiss, “CRASH!” and I feel the almost unfamiliar wind flow At first I panic, what could I have done? Am I broken? Am I okay? “I am a failure”...my thoughts whisper with a kiss After a time, I sat in a pasture accepting the stillness around me. I take a deep breath for the first time in years. And realize, I’ve just faced all my fears. The fear of crashing and burning, of taking a break. And failure…the failure, it stings, but it doesn’t overtake. Now, in the present, I sit in my room Just sitting, and resting, watching flowers bloom. And I’m taking my time because I know it won’t last Because I’ve learned now that you need to go slow, to go fast. . . . #originalpoetry #poem #relatable

His first run back! And you can tell he was so excited about it. He acts like I force him to run but he was actually the person that suggested we pack running clothes😂 Super excited about this coming month! Jackson and I plan on getting back into running, and I am excited to start my very FIRST group challenge🏆 (if you need info about that it’s in my highlights or you can DM me). Lots of fun things coming, so stay tuned☺️ P.S. no races on the calendar yet… what are some races that you think I might be able to convince Jackson to do?

I get so nervous every time any ache or pain comes up after having this experience. I do my best to not “push through the pain” as much as possible because I don’t want this kind of injury to happen again🫣 While this story feels kind of “cool/bad-a**” to tell now, I was definitely not happy about it at all at the time. (All you that are dealing with an injury, my thoughts are with you) I feel lucky that my most recent running injury was not nearly as serious. Have you had a similar experience?? I would love to know about it in the comments. Or feel free to DM me if you would rather! . . . #runninginjury #storytime #storytimethread #running #runningmotivation #runningstory #runningcommunity #xcrunning #trackandfield #stressfracture #stressfracturerecovery #racedayrecap #run #runhappy #injuryrecoveryprogress #injuryrecoverymotivation #storytimereels #runningcoach #personaltrainer #interestingstories #runningtraining #trailrunning #trailrunner

Here’s his splits for the race: Mile 1- 10:52 Mile 2- 10:57 Mile 3- 12:13 Mile 4- 11:48 Mile 5- 9:52 Mile 6- 9:41 Mile 7- 10:29 Mile 8- 11:36 Mile 9- 11:05 Mile 10- 11:46 Mile 11- 11:35 Mile 12- 12:18 Mile 13- 11:42 Finishing time of 2:26:53 . Absolutely CRUSHING his goal of 3:00 for his first half marathon. I’m so proud of him and I will say there were days during our training where he wasn’t sure if he could do this. But he did (and so can you…in case you’re ever in the same boat). . . . #raceresults #raceday #halfmarathonraceday #halfmarathontrainingcomplete #running #postrace #timetosignupforanotherrace #runnerhumor #lovehaterunningrelationship #runningmotivation #firsthalfmarathondone #firsthalfmarathon #pr #runhappy #couplesthatruntogether #runlife #runningcommunity #runninggoals #relatable #newrunner #beginnerrunner #crushedit #runvlog #comerunwithme #racedayvlog #racevlog #comerunahalfmarathonwithme #running #run #motivation #inspirationalvideo

He’s still mad for what I said at the end🤣Post race banter pt.2. Do you think I’ll be able to convince him to sign up for another race now that his legs aren’t sore? Fingers crossed🤞🤞 If you missed the results from our race you will want to go back and watch that! We both were a lot faster than we expected. (Mostly Jackson though) I’ll add it in my story for those who missed it. . . . #postracewalkofpain #raceday #halfmarathonraceday #halfmarathontrainingcomplete #running #postrace #timetosignupforanotherrace #runnerhumor #lovehaterunningrelationship #runningmotivation #firsthalfmarathondone #firsthalfmarathon #pr #runhappy #couplesthatruntogether #runlife #runningcommunity #runninggoals #relatable #newrunner #beginnerrunner #crushedit #timetosignupforarace #letsdoitagain

A little race recap for you with the most beautiful views.

The post half marathon limp was real😅 my husband thought it was funny…and man, that walk to the car felt like it was forever. Of course my husband who just ran his first half marathon felt fine (other than being stiff) so I was a little jealous. My foot still kind of hurts. Hoping it’s just a sprain and not a stress fracture😬 . . . #postracelimp #halfmarathon #halfmarathondone #halfmarathoner #running #raceday #runningmotivation #runninghumor #relatable #relateablerunning #newrunner #couplesthatruntogether #runninginjury #run #runninginspiration
