Finished! . First #MPC challenge for 2019 and my second half marathon is in the tank! Feeling proud, especially considering the cold temps and my chest cold nonsense - 15°F was a bit much. 🥶🥶❄️ . I’ve renamed this race the “Zion Nasal Drip Half Marathon”. 😪😎 . And here are some photos of all the parts I DO like about the running/race world. And lots to see in my insta stories/highlights. . . #thegoodlife #mypeakchallenge #runpeakerrun #zionhalf #txpeakers @ntxpeakers @mypeakchallenge (at Zion National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuPodljnPyJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=iqtkaxbytoc

First EVER 5k? Done...with added inflatables! So much fun with @englandpeakers today at the #colorobstaclerush #Sheffield run today! Thanks @mypeakchallenge for bringing this gang into my life and helping me push myself to try new challenges (including powder removal...) 🏃🏻‍♀️🎖️ #firsttimerunner #runpeakerrun #englandpeakers2018 #mypeakchallenge #mpc2018 #obstaclecourse #colorrun #medal #swag (at Rother Valley Country Park)

I would normally revel in having the park to myself, but not after finishing the Ted Bundy series on Netflix this afternoon. 😳 . And a rainy 33°F run is cold. 🥶🥶🥶14 days to race day! 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️ . #zionhalf #runpeakerrun #txpeakers @ntxpeakers @mypeakchallenge (at Dallas, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtrcuL5nbX9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=zeblfnopwupw

A long run yesterday followed by leg day today meant loads of epsom salt and peppermint oil tonight. 🥶 Tomorrow’s going to hurt! Day 1 of MPC 2019 is in the bag with just 19 days until the next half marathon. 😎💪🏻🏃🏻‍♀️ . #MPC2019 #txpeakers #runpeakerrun @ntxpeakers @mypeakchallenge @samheughan @valbo00 (at Dallas, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bte_yMbnSzq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1kl2xj3isy26a

Lindsey thinks my costume might be flawed for the race tomorrow. No? 🤷🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️ . #monsterdash #halfmarathon #runpeakerrun @mplsmomma @mplspappa (at Minneapolis, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpa3qW_HXxX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=p2n8cgg1r34y

Wiked Wine Run 5K yesterday evening. . It was HOT and also hot. Which meant not much running, but we crossed the final line running and with smiles. I met my first fellow Peaker (visiting from Maryland) and worked on a non-physical challenge with great laughs. Did I mention it was kinda hot? . So here is my happy, sweaty, tomato faced self with Marianne at the finish and few others t-shirts we loved. . Before #mpc2018 I would never have posted unflattering photos of myself, especially after a run or workout. Today, what I see in these photos is pride, progress, and fun. . That’s good stuff Maynard. 💪🏻🏃🏻‍♀️😎 . #runpeakerrun #peakereffect @mypeakchallenge @ntxpeakers (at Mitas Hill Vineyard)

2pm run to “temper myself like an egg” in the budding heat. “It’s only 89°!” I said. “I’ll do a quick 3 miles.” I said. . It was pretty damn terrible. And not really a run. AND I know better. So here’s the only photo I managed while stopping to let the yellow spots fade. . Takeaways: be more patient with my running progress (this one has not come easy) and be smarter in the heat this summer. . I’ma go melt into an ice bath now. 😥 . #mswarrior #mpc2018 #runpeakerrun? 🤷🏻‍♀️ (at Kiest Park)

Today’s success: 3 soggy miles in 30 minutes! . I’m learning to be patient with my post-camino recovery and trying to align my eagerness with my physical self. .. This morning I focused on my stride, breathing, and being good to my feet and achilles. The result was my best pace and heart rate results so far! Progress feels great! #maynot #runpeakerrun #mpc2018 @ntxpeakers @runpeakerrun @mypeakchallenge (at Dallas, Texas)

Active recovery post Camino 😎👣🏃🏻‍♀️. . My plan was to be lazy today and sleep off the jet lag, but the sunshine and cool weather was calling my name. (57° and breezy won’t be back anytime soon!) . 5K in a near-empty park with the Joyful Gents felt great. And Coldplay was right -Up&Up. . #mpc2018 #runpeakerrun @mypeakchallenge @ntxpeakers (at Dallas, Texas)

Morning glory. 😍 What a way to warm up for #mpc2018! #runpeakerrun #nofilter (at Dallas, Texas)

Tough sunrise 5K circuit this morning. Digging deep, but sticking to it. And this view in a cool 57°was 😍. W2D5 in the books. 💪🏻🏃‍♀️🤢 .. #runpeakerrun #mcp2018 @mypeakchallenge (at Dallas, Texas)

[leahschier]

What was that I said about liking the cold? 26°F 😲 Sunrise warm up for day 1 of @mypeakchallenge! 364 days to go. . . . #runpeakerrun 🏃‍♀️💪🏻 #thegoodlife (at Dallas, Texas)

#Scoobiesnacks are go! I'm dreadful at snacking (especially when I'm working in front of the computer all day) and often struggle with post workout protein. Anybody else?! I thought I'd take 15 minutes while my rice was cooking this evening (Bombay potatoes and broccoli dhal, yum!) to prepare some mixed nuts, flame raisins and dark chocolate chips in handy easy-to-grab snack sizes. The larger pots are 150g and the smaller 75g. Should see me through for a few days! How do you food prep? I'm trying this year to be much more consistent with my food preparing. Had a badly planned day today (struggling with SAD related issues despite being post solstice!) so was really strapped for time. Could have not bothered, but that's a past me, I don't do that any more! Short, sharp burst of high intensity treadmill intervals followed by the world's fastest shower and a dash across town to my #GFR study group! . . . #veganpeakers #vegan #mypeakchallenge #mpc2018 #mpc18 #mypeakchallenge #englandpeakers #plantpowered #thisgirlcan #thisgirlcansuffolk #runpeakerrun #rpr #running #aaptiv #hiit #treadmill #training #intervaltraining #eds #ehlersdanlossyndrome #ehlersdanlos #spoonie #foodprep

Really short @aaptiv #1anddone today after a fairly heavy sports massage this afternoon to loosen up tight muscles, pace is still improving but still got a bit of a lingering post-exercise cough! 400m PB during the sprint intervals, woo! . . . #rwrunningstreak #rwrunstreak #veganpeakers #MPC2018 #mypeakchallenge #englandpeakers #thisgirlcan #thisgirlcansuffolk #runpeakerrun #running
