Latest obsessive #marathon weather check for Sunday in #longbranchnj for @njmarathon is not looking too bad. It would be nice to be able to dial down the wind a bit but the temperature at least looks good. #njmarathon2018 #marathontraining #tapercrazies #springrunning #runblr #fitblr #bqorbust

Two mile easy “day before the marathon freak out and worry most of the time” run this morning before I get in the car and drive to Toledo. Workout supervisor declined to supervise this morning because a) 2 miles wasn’t worth it to her and b) I didn’t give her a treat to come downstairs. You get what you pay for, I guess. • Besides worry, I had a chance to think about all the things I did right during this training cycle: -consistently eat as if food was fuel, not fun or self-medication for work stress -consistently meal prep so I had no excuse not to eat right -consistently show up for all the runs. This 2 mile run this morning makes it official: I ran all the runs on this training schedule, not skipping a single workout like I normally do -consistently not wearing high heels to work (a small thing but very helpful) -consistently suck it up and run all those crazy hills around my house every single weekend, often running up one steep hill near my house 4 to 5 times during a long run -consistently have a positive attitude toward workouts that freaked me out (I’m talking to you, half marathon before work), telling myself “let’s see if you can do it” instead of “OMG I WILL NEVER MAKE IT” • Hmmm....I think I see a pattern in that list above....improvement comes from constantly being consistent. At this point I’m consistently happy with my progress no matter what happens during the race. But not gonna lie—a PR would be pretty freaking awesome. • • • • • #facetiouslyfit #fitfam #fitnessjourney #fitspiration #marathontraining #marathonrunner #womensrunningcommunity #runnerscommunity #runnersofinstagram #runblogger #treadmillworkout #glasscitymarathon #runalltheruns #justdothething #runallthemiles #workoutsupervisor #tapercrazies #thefinalcountdown #treadmillworkout https://www.instagram.com/p/BwwiVLDhtaG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1efyqajtmyz2i

"Me" on my steep street on my last week of #whiskeyrowmarathon training I think it was about 2.5 miles, but I forgot to start my Strava...bring on the #tapercrazies thanks to host: @alilmorenaughtyyogagirl #nygpicaday for 1 May. Happy May Day! (at Prescott, Arizona)

The weather just can’t seem to make up its mind in early March. I ran in snow flurries yesterday after we have had a fairly mild winter here in East Tennessee. . . I’m in the full on taper mode right now for my Hundo and I’m surprisingly calm after dialing in my walk pace and doing a few run/walks. Ultras are a different beast. Instead of aiming to place or AG, I’m just aiming to put one foot in front of the other, talk to some amazing people, and eat some good aid station food 😂 . . #RunnersofInstagram #runner #running #ZeroLimits #EmbracetheSpace #altraheadtotoe #SweatPink #MarathonTraining #MarathonRunner #beatyesterday #ultrarunner #teamspandits #seeninspandits #pistolultra #tapercrazies

268. I considered putting off my run tonight, but instead I pulled my treadmill out in front of the TV and watched 2 episodes of Gilmore Girls while I busted out 5.75 miles! #marathontraining #tapercrazies #freepmarathon #selfieaday #project365

Figured I should practice in the rain, since there is a chance of rain. Wearing the visor makes me hot, but I hate water in my eyes! #runnerproblems #taperweek #tapercrazies

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

When your students take turns sneezing and coughing at you....and your next marathon is in 4 days. #somebodygetmeabubblesuit #tapercrazies #undertrained #sigh

Last long run of training this morning. Discipline definitely is a good way to describe getting up at 6 am every Saturday morning for 16 weeks to run for 1.5-3 hours worth of miles. And getting up during the week for speed work and regular runs. Taper always makes me a mixed bag of nerves/relief/excitement. At this point, as many runners say, #theheyisinthebarn and all there is to do is prep for the 26.2 mile victory lap! #tapercrazies #marathontraining #getitdone

I had the hardest workout yet on my marathon training plan—no workout at all. It was pretty darn weird to get up and not stare at the big blue wall while running to nowhere on the treadmill. Workout supervisor, however, was pretty darn happy to have the morning off. 2 more days.... • • • • • #facetiouslyfit #fitfam #fitnessjourney #fitspiration #marathontraining #marathonrunner #womensrunningcommunity #runnerscommunity #runnersofinstagram #runblogger #runnerswholift #runnerswhobike #glasscitymarathon #runalltheruns #justdothething #runallthemiles #workoutsupervisor #tapercrazies #thefinalcountdown https://www.instagram.com/p/BwuD_U5h6Pe/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=noebf84rhqa7

Taper = fun jumping all over Wyoming. Couldn't resist the rainbow bus! Sorry hippies we own this town! #ironman #boulder #taper #tapercrazies #rainbowbus #reachforthesky (at Kaycee WY Rest Area)

Tapering for 100 miles is infinitely more enjoyable than marathon tapering! Because I’m training for such a long distance, long WALKS are also a part of my training. Hiking and checking out waterfalls...? All in a day’s training! . . . #REIAdventures #OptOutside #forceofnature #sweatydirtyhappy #greatsmokymountains #GSMNP #Smokies #hiking #backpacking #hikingguidelife #training #RunnersofInstagram #runner #running #ZeroLimits #EmbracetheSpace #altraheadtotoe #SweatPink #MarathonTraining #MarathonRunner #beatyesterday #ultrarunner #taper #tapercrazies

262. Today started my last training week before tapering starts. You've been warned. #marathontraining #tapercrazies #michiganrunners #fsarc #selfieaday #project365

When clementines are no longer in season I may cry. They are my absolute favorite fruit and I believe they must always be eaten in pairs because 1 is not enough. What is your favorite? I am trying to make smarter choices and eat fruit as dessert instead of fro-yo. Especially right now as I am tapering for #rnrnola which means I am running way less, but 5x as hungry. #tapertime #tapercrazies #rungry #ffcheckin #fitfluential #sweatpink #marathontraining
