17 miles done this morning! It’s week 1 of marathon training for Chicago!! . . @jeffgallowayolympian is coaching me and @naomi_gal and wanted us right around 11 min miles, but we logged most of our miles around 10:15... whoops!! I know we’ll get better at slowing down as it gets hot and our harder workouts in! . . #bqorbust #marathontraining #runchat #reston #runwalkrun #intervalrunning #intervalrunner #summerrun #summertraining #walkrun #chicagomarathon #teamintraining #playgoodr #rungoodr #findyourstrong

6 miles yo round out 100 for May! I’ll probably take tomorrow off, but who knows! I’m enjoying the period of rest between the FAST spring and the brutal heat of summer marathon training! . . Heading into summer training for the BIG {scary} FALL goal of qualifying for Boston, I know that my mindset matters more than anything else! @naomi_gal and I just had our intake with our coach and he thinks that as long as the weather is on our side, we’ve set a really attainable goal! . . #morningmiles #runchat #biggoals #bqorbust #runstrongrunpretty #findyourstrong #kinvara #intervalrunner #runwalkrun #gallowaymethod

We brought our “kids” along today! 10 miles, slower but better than yesterday to start off April with a bang! . . . #mileslogged #running #intervalrunner #strollerrun #puprun #tenmiles #playgoodr (at Vienna, Virginia)

#medalmonday my new marathon PR from the incredible #chicagomarathon! . . It’s still a mix of emotions. I’m BEYOND proud and excited for my #teamintraining team! A lot of best times, second best times, and first timers yesterday!! And we worked together and raised over $22,000 so far!! I’m so grateful for the race I was able to run. I’m proud of my PR in less than ideal conditions. But I know I was trained for faster. I know I gave up mentally. I didn’t want to be running alone. I wanted @naomi_gal to be there with me, excited by the time at 20 miles, and encouraging us both to keep digging. . . Now comes some tough decisions... do I try again before Disney? Or do I take a break from chasing the Unicorn? This training cycle feels like it’s been a year long endeavor... . . Today - I’ll celebrate, focus on the good, nurse my sore muscles, and enjoy some tacos tonight! . . #intervalrunner #runningmotivation #gallowaymethod #runwalkrun #teamsparkle #inspiringrunners #womensrunning @myteamintraining https://www.instagram.com/p/BorRokflLDf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=s5xnlzdk46fd

One week!!! I’m so excited I can’t stand it!! (Right now) This taper has been a roller coaster of emotions. . . Feeling a little defeated by a nagging pain in my leg, then empowered by my last long training run, then bummed out by the BQ change, now excited about the pink glitter vinyl that I’ll use to put my name on my singlet. (@naomi_gal and I will be styling!) . . Taper madness is real!! 😂😂😂 . . But realistically, the worst case scenario for next weekend is that I finish my 14th marathon having helped to raise over $20,000 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society! Not bad, not bad at all!! . . #taper #chicagomarathon #tapercrazy #running #thoughtsonrunning #teamintraining #gallowaymethod #racephoto #llsnatcap #outforblood #intervalrunner #bqorbust #runwalkrun https://www.instagram.com/p/BoXcXNiFhWV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=140m7e9wamuxb

You know you’ve found your people when, on a cool morning, everyone’s on board with ditching a “workout” in favor of a recovery pup run! . . Thanks, @cecily_jacobson and @naomi_gal for the easy morning miles! . . #puprun #dogsofinstagram #goldenretriever #cavichon #runchat #recoverymiles #intervalrunner #reston

This running season (okay, year, because let’s face it, we haven’t had any time off since last marathon cycle...) has been up and down. It’s been highs of PRs and crushed repeat workouts in cooler weather, lows of falling all spring, bonking in the heat, and lost motivation. . . Today we got our grove back, doing 4x1 mile at 90:30 (a full minute less of running that we were doing for repeats) and we still descended each mile, all in our assigned pace range! 8:13,8:07,7:57,7:57! The confidence is coming back!!! . . #running #runner #runchat #irunthisbody #intervalrunner #gallowaymethod #milerepeats #marathontraining #chicagomarathon #teamintraining #outforblood

Another training run with a medal in the books! . . I convinced @naomi_gal to sign up and run with me, even though the Leesburg 20k has all the ingredients that could spell disaster for a race 😂! It’s and out and back on the W&OD trail in August. I mean, enough said, right? But, let me tell ya, if anyone can take those ingredients and make an amazing race Commonwealth Race Management/Potomac River Running can! The Leesburg 20k is the prime example of great course planning and fantastic management! . . We drove out early, picked up our bibs, then hit the trail for 5 “warm up” miles... it really is a warm up for me as it’s not really a joke anymore that I don’t hit my stride in a run until we’re about 6-7 miles in. It’s just true. Magic robot legs are made for distance 😂. Then we crushed the 20k training run! It was hot, we were tired, and this training cycle feels like it’s been going on forever, but I know that we’re going to be so ready for great races and, more importantly, a fun time, in Chicago! . . #showyourpr #leesburg20k #teamsparkle #goodr #playgoodr #sportsbrasquad #race #raceasatrainingrun #20k #intervalrunner #marathontraining (at Leesburg, Virginia)

Since @naomi_gal and I did our weekend run on Friday, today was open to do @celiac_runner’s mile repeats with her!! Jess joined us and we hit 4x1 all sub 9:00, with 5:00 recovery and a total of 8 miles with warm up and cool down! . . #intervalrunner #gallowaymethod #irunthisbody #psirantoday #teamintraining #teamsparkle #coachedbyjeff

4.5 humid miles in 45 minutes this morning with my BQ attempt buddy!! We felt every bit of humidity on this run, but I’m so glad we decided to add some recovery miles in this Tuesday! . . I get asked the most about our intervals, so here they are: We stuck to 60:30 intervals, averaging just under 10/mile with an 10:50 warm up. This was a recovery run that we threw into our plan. We haven’t cleared it with our coach yet, but I’m hoping he won’t look at Tuesday and call them “junk miles” 🤞🏻 considering, at this point, we both still WANT to be running 4 days a week! How many days does your marathon plan have you running? (Ours is 3!) . . #chicagomarathon #marathontraining #runchat #teamintraining #sportsbrasquad #sportsbra #intervalrunning #intervalrunner #runwalkrun #gallowaymethod #psirantoday #irunthisbody #irunreston (at Reston, Virginia)

4.5 miles in 45 minutes with @naomi_gal and @pretty_penny_puppy! . . Pen literally refused to do more than a quick walk, probably because she always concerned about my recovery!! Naomi and I chatted about paces and expectations {personal} and perception when it comes to running. This year I’ve logged more faster miles than ever before, and yes, my race times have gotten dramatically faster, but I need to remember that I was STILL a sub 4 marathoner {3:57:10 at MCM 2014} when I did ALL of my training in the 11-12 minute/mile range. And even last years 3:44:45 was the result of learning to negative split, learning to pace, and 90%** of my training miles in the 9:45+ range! Big goals have a way of scaring you into thinking you’ve got to do something more than put the work in. But it REALLY is that simple - do the work, the results happen! . . **I’ll be talking about how I train and how I coach/teach others to set, stretch, and hit their run goals while living a VERY busy life on @megdlmt’s podcast tonight! . . #runner #runnergirl #runreston #runchat #intervals #intervalrunner #intervalrunners #galloway #gallowaymethod #runwalkrun #celiac #celiacrunner #glutenfree #bqorbust #coach #runcoach #swimcoach #athlete #bossbabe #irunthisbody #ihavearunnersbody #fitspo #runningontacos (at Reston, Virginia)

Chasing Boston is right! 8:18 would do it... just need to tack on 20 more miles, NBD! 😂😂 . . I’m happy to have the nice weather back, but running in the heat is going to take some serious getting used to! Lucky that @naomi_gal was up for some event mile that we can follow up with some morning miles today in a mini Ragnar simulation! . . #runner #chasingboston @getonyourmarq #easyrun #intervalrunner #galloway

Evening miles with @cecily_jacobson, running in circles around south Reston. . . . It was cold. But warm once we started. My legs were sore. But they wanted to run. We did two half mile repeats mixed in with easy miles, I hit sub 6 on the second one. The legs just wanted to GO! Now it’s time to listen to my watch and take 41 hours of recovery!! . . . #running #intervalrunner #saucony #teamintraining #outforblood #marathontraining #garmin #beatyesterday

Did a little running this morning with @naomi_gal! Neither one of us were feeling our best, so we just kind of cruised. Personally, I need to remember that this is still base building/recovery season and not to rush the process!! I’m so excited to be running faster, that I want to run fast more often!!! . . . Grateful to get this run in before the cool rain and before an amazing Cabi party with @theorganizeddetails! . . . #runner #intervalrunner #galloway #chicagomarathon2018 #basebuilding #teamintraining #outforblood
