Gulf Coast Half Marathon in Pensacola Beach!!!

Official Time: 2:28:05

My gear the night before the race!


Well...I will admit that this was NOT one of my best races. My ankle was hurting and by mile 6 I was completely DONE! I ended up doing run/walk intervals from mile 6 to the finish. It was very humid and foggy...the air was so thick it was hard to breathe. I do think I started this race way too fast and that is why I lost all my energy at mile 6. The good news is that my time was not the worst race I've done. Actually it is the second fastest half I've done! That surprises me since I walked so much...but also tells me I definitely started too fast. The best part of this race...Andy and the boys were there at the end! And we spent the rest of the morning at the beach!!!

Me and Page before the race!

Azalea Trail Run 10K!!!

Official Time: 59:42!!!! A new PR!!! I was aiming to run this in under an hour...I barely made it but I did it!!!

This race was benefiting the SuperHero Foundation so we dressed up as Sole2Soul SUPER Sisters!!! So much fun!!!

The weather was extremely humid so it was difficult to run. But I am proud of myself that I met my goal! And the best part...Andy and the boys watched me cross the finish line!!!

Me and Paige!


Group Shots! We had tons of Sole2Soul Sisters running this race!!!






Me and my sweet family at the finish line!!!

4 Miles With the Girls!

I had another awesome run this morning! It was a little windy but the wind was welcome due to the humidity making it so hot outside. We ran 4 miles in 38:39 at an average pace of 9:39! Looking forward to the Azalea Trail Run 10K on Saturday! The race benefits the Superhero Foundation so we are dressing up as the Sole2Soul SUPER Sisters!!! Gonna be soo much fun!!!

Hilly Route!

Ran a really hilly route this morning! It actually felt pretty good! Wasn't sure if I would have a good run since my legs are still pretty sore from Sunday's 12 miles but it turned out to be an awesome run and workout! Really felt those hills in my quads and glutes lol! It is the first time in a long time that I was so sweaty after the run that it felt like I had just stepped out of the shower. I ran 4 miles in 39:29 at an average pace of 9:52!!! Not too bad on hills!!! Happy Day everyone!

12 Miles Under the Supermoon!!!

Awesome run and awesome moon! It was gorgeous out there! I had a great run...the first few miles my legs were wondering what I was doing but after I found my groove I felt like I could have ran forever! Love runs like that! If only I could have these kinda runs on race day lol! I ran 12 miles in 1:58:39 at an average pace of 9:53!!! Woo hoo!!! AND...I was leader of the pack today!!! There were 13 of us running today...I am so blessed to have awesome friends to run with!

Please excuse the unmanicured toenails...but this is what I found when I took my shoes off after the run. A blister! It doesn't hurt at all...and has even gone down some since this morning. I'm going to have to face the fact that being a runner hurts the prettiness of your feet lol!

4 Mile St. Patrick's Day Run!

Ran 4 miles with the girls this morning! Felt great! And guess what? I was at the front of the pack today!!!! :-) We ran 4 miles in 38:42 at an average pace of 9:39!!! I have the day off today because my little one is sick with strep throat. Hope everyone enjoys St. Patrick's Day!

1 Mile Fun Run!

Got up early this morning to welcome Paige B. back to running! It's also her birthday today!!! We talked and celebrated with her a little too long so we only had time for 1 mile. I was happy with that though...my legs were sooo tired from the 10 miler I ran yesterday! And I am still trying to recover from the time change. We ran 1.14 miles in 12:07 at an average pace of 10:39. Inside joke: we all stuffed our bras and surprised Paige! Had to include the picture...it's hilarious!!! Lol! Happy Day everyone!
