Track day with my unofficial Brown's Point running club. My friends were running a tempo run on the track. I had already done a tempo run yesterday so I paced my friend Angela for her run. She did great! I think she is faster than she thinks! Anyway, LOVE my running friends and I love meeting them on Fridays!❤️😊🏃

I took a few days off running to finally let my legs rest after my 50k. I planned on running yesterday but after working nights and only sleeping 3 hours, I felt like a zombie! 5 1/2 weeks until my 13th marathon, the Seattle marathon!

1200 and 400 meter repeats with a short warm up and cool down. Fun times with running friends Min, Angela and Jason! I had planned on jogging while they did their track workout since I just ran my 50k but my competitive side got the best of me!😁 6 weeks until the Seattle marathon!

From my race on Saturday- All done!! 2nd female overall and 1st in my age group! Holy cow that was the hardest thing I have ever done! It poured almost the whole time. I was running through giant mud puddles. My shoes were soaked around mile 4. And I fell once and slid in mud multiple times! Fun though!😊

Ready to go for tomorrow!! My first 50k trail race and it's supposed to rain! To say I am nervous would be an understatement😁 Wish me luck!❤️🏃😊

6 mile run during soccer practice tonight. I am just going to be honest and say today sucked! It started at the end of my shift at work this morning. I feel like I have one too many things going on in my life right now and it's finally getting to me. Some people ask why I run so much. I believe running is how I cope with things. While I am running, I have no worries, no cares. It's the only time when I can just be me and be free. I thank God for running every day❤️ Tomorrow is a new day😊
