Mom and I walked the Lake Monona 5k this morning and had a blast ♥️

Want to see me run a 5k dressed as a flamingo? Donate to my St. Jude fundraiser before May 24 and I'll run the Run Madtown 5k as its bird mascot! #Running #RunningPunks fundraising.stjude.org/goto/kmeruns...

Well, I'm 99% sure I have shin splints. I am simultaneously relieved and frustrated. At least I have an answer to my pain but damn that sucks.

Any compression sock recommendations for running and recovery? My calves are killing me now that I'm on my feet all day. #running #runningpunks

I love listening in on college student conversations now that I'm back on campus. They keep me young.

My legs cramped after ONE mile today. wtf

Soft launching my fundraiser for St. Jude! I'll be running as a St. Jude Hero: fundraising.stjude.org/goto/kmeruns...

Nothing quite like the anxiety of waiting for the fire drill to start and not knowing when the alarms will blare.

We did the dang thing!! My first 10k is in the books ♥️

We did it 🥹

I cannot express to you how much my feet hurt after two days of walking miles in work shoes. Something's gotta give. Any recommendations?

It was a beautiful first day!

One last time 💛🖤

I don't know what I'm more anxious/excited for: Starting a new job on Monday or my first #runDisney race on Saturday!!

When did The Onion start covering actual news?

When there aren't any race photos of you #running

Update: it has blistered and now has a new blister on top of that! I'm at a lost. #running

5.5 miles in the books and that's in for long runs until my 10k!!! I'm gobsmacked to be here already. #running

The audacity to wear a Tr**p "America first" shirt into a Mexican restaurant. 🖕🏻

I just finished a 5 mile run and it felt easy! Who is she? What have I become?

It’s peak week!! We’ve got a 5 mile easy run, a 2.5 mile threshold run, and a 5.5 mile long run this week!

All smiles after the Madison Shamrock Shuffle 5k! Those 18 mph winds got nothing on me ☘️ #running #runningpunks

Crossing my fingers that the weather cooperates and my fun run happens tomorrow

Heartbreak is one thing, a bad run’s another

We did it, Bluesky. We ran FIVE WHOLE MILES. #running #runningpunks

Tomorrow is a big day: the first time I'll run FIVE MILES. This is such a milestone for me and I can't believe I'm here.

One of us ran 4 miles in the rain and one of us was smart and ran indoors. Any guesses? #running

This should be on everyone's to read list. It's up there with Everybody Writes by @annhandley.bsky.social as required reading for my team.

Things I never thought I'd be doing: checking my cat's testicles to see if he was actually neutered.

Longest run to date: 4.61 miles! In the frigid cold. At my fastest pace in months. I could cry I'm so happy. #running #runningpunks

@repjasmine.bsky.social is my favorite woman in politics right now and if you're not following her, you 100% should be.

First run outside (not counting Florida) in weeks if not months and it was glorious. 4.25 easy miles. #running #runningpunks
