9️⃣0️⃣ minutes at 9 am in 90° sunny weather because that’s the only time you have while your husband is home for two hours.
This was really hard for me mentally.
It was hot.
I was thirsty.
I was alone.
I kept convincing myself that if I got through the first 45 minutes, then getting through the last 45 minutes would be easy.
The lies we tell ourselves.
It just kept getting hotter.
No matter how much I slowed down, my heart rate kept getting higher.
The last two miles were honestly the hardest because I wanted to be home and in the shade.
It’s these moments of mental fortitude that set us up for success on race day.
It’s in the ability to keep moving forward when you’re feeling fearful or tired or hot or scared where you find true mental strength.
Or at least that’s what I keep telling myself
Happy Saturday friends!!

5 years ago today I was hospitalized for acute kidney failure. It was caused as a result of my drinking. I was actually trying to quit at the time this occurred, and had been in & out of rehabs and programs. The binge/dry cycle of trying to quit put my body over the edge & my physiology couldn’t catch up; my electrolytes and renal function were so out of balance that I was vomiting every single sip of liquid I tried to take in. I remember being in the ER sobbing because my kidneys hurt so bad & I couldn’t even keep Gatorade down. Alcoholism had me living in a daily nightmare. I just wanted out. ▪️
Today I get to live in a dream. Even the hard days where work & responsibilities are a grind are so beautiful by contrast. The fact that I have a home, a loving partner, a car, a job, my family, good friends, and some inner peace & serenity would not be possible if I hadn’t met people who helped me recover. Today I live in constant gratitude. I challenge you to find something you’re grateful for today and make it known. ❤️
Day 546 #runstreak Hello Florida summer running!! Y’all. #truth The last 11 days were the hardest (and most fun) of the streak. I couldn’t get up and run every morning because of sleeping arrangements/having a 2 and 4 year old. A couple days I had to really force myself out for a mile. But here’s the thing...I could find a reason not to run pretty much every day if I wanted to. The streak has proven to me that I can find 10 minutes somewhere in the day if I really want to. I was sure my mileage for the trip would be 1 a day plus the races...and I managed 33.5 miles. Pretty proud of that- and even more determined to keep going. Find your 10 minutes- whether it’s for a nap, a run, a book, whatever you need today- make it happen. #findyourten

“Gratitude is a powerful catalyst for happiness. It’s the spark that lights a fire of joy in your soul.” 5️⃣ gorgeous miles in 98° weather lip singing my heart out to pass the time and take my mind off the humidity I was running in.
Thankful for a new radio station on @pandora to keep me moving.
Thankful for these legs that carried me through a day of work and these miles.
Thankful for my Mom who is here to help with the boys while my husband is on shift.
Thankful for Vacation Bible School that gives the boys a place to have fun and celebrate the Lord. Happy Monday!
Only had to stop twice to yell at my kids ♀️ #treadmilllife #runnermom #SeaWheeze2019 #chasingboston #seawheeze #explantista #marathoner #procompressionambassador #runnersrepost #hairstlyist #charitymiles #strength #runnerscommunity #trainforlife #iam1stphorm #girlswholift
