Been a minute, but I finally felt up to getting to the gym and then went on a 3 mile run afterward.

Tried my best. DNFd at the end. We were out in direct sunlight, and I let myself get dehydrated (I was taking in fluids and electrolytes and just couldn't get back up to speed. I got blisters on both feet 6 miles in, and then ran out of energy around mile 9.

So I finally got a Garmin and I'm not sure what to think. The learning curve on this is a little crazy

Solid tempo run this morning. Felt good after a 5 day break. I am taking my 5 day runs to 4 days to give myself extra rest. Also, nobody told me sleeping good would help me run better! #running #runningsky

C.O.L.D. 5 mile easy run. Watch was saying 185 HR at a brisk walk. And after the last long run that it cut short, I've had enough. Needless to say, I think it's finally time to graduate to a Garmin. #running #runningsky #runsky

Love on the Run half marathon finished! And set a new PR. It was a ton of fun! Next up will be my marathon in March!

16-mile long run. Two strava posts because my damn watch activity tracker just stopped around mile 12. That kinda sucked and I didn't account for the extra time, so I didn't pack enough food. But we got the mileage in. Irving Valentines half is on 6 days away!! #running #runningsky #runsky

5 mile run with a 3 mile tempo session in the middle. I'm definitely feeling the soreness from my Monday morning fun run. #running #runsky #runningsky

Took about a week off from running to deal with some stuff. Today was first back at it. Was supposed to be 5 mile easy run, but I got excited and sped through it. #running #runningsky #runsky

Got out there a little too late, and my light died on me, so I figured I'd cut it short and head home. It was supposed to be 4.5 miles but only got 1.5 today. I'll make it up tomorrow. #running #runsky #runningsky

Crushed a half-marathon today. It was supposed to be 12 miles, but my legs were feeling good, so I pushed through. No pain, got my form and breathing under control. I just might make it through my races. #running #runningsky #runsky #nopaingang

Got to watch the sun rise this morning. Really took my time and wandered around on my run. Felt so nice not being in a hurry for once. 6 mile easy run done. #running #runsky #runningsky #runna

1 mile at a relaxed pace 3 mile Tempo .5 mile cool down Beat all my pace targets! Dammit I love this sport. #running

Trying to keep my easy runs super easy. 4.5 mile run at comfy pace. Didn't fall today. #running #runna

Currently, I'm using Saucony glide 16s, and I'm already thinking about what my next shoe is gonna be. I'm one of those. I can not use foam outer soles. Any recommendations for daily trainers? I mainly stay on asphalt, and I'm crunching about 30-40mpw. #running #runningshoes

I am currently training for the Irving Marathon in March. I also signed up for the Love on the Run Valentines half marathon and the Fiesta de Mayo half marathon in May. Told myself that if I compete in all the Irving events this year, I'll sign up for an ultra next year.

Chilly this morning but knocked out a solid 5 miler. Also, I fell due to one of those traction strips on the sidewalk. Those things are dangerous. #running #Runna
