A belated #medalmonday🏅 from the philly_marathon weekend!

Real talk I was a little nervous to do the Patriot Challenge (7 AM half marathon and then 11AM 8K races on the same day) because I`ve only ever done weekend long or shorter race challenges and didn`t know how the half marathon would go. BUT LOOK AT THE BLING🤣

In the end I ran the half and had fun+ felt good. My legs were stiff for the 8K, but I got the chance to run with my brother at a pace that felt good (thank goodness it was slower than I anticipated!). So if you`re scared to do the thing, just do it 🎉

philly_marathon weekend was like a blur but shout-out to the best part-THE PEOPLE! Special shout-out to my fellow ambassadors, Al & Crystal, my brother, my Run Happy teammates and everyone I knew running this weekend 😁

Runners are the best people!

I`ve got more race thoughts and the good & bad to share but first it`s pie time👍

How do you train for, recover and fuel for two races that are almost back to back?

That was a puzzle that piqued my interest. It got me excited to get out and start training again to see if I could figure it out.

There was a bit of trial and error but once I got things dialled in, I knew I had a plan that would work.

I had a blast training for this. It certainty didn’t feel like a chore, although I will say there was one double run day that I was less than enthused about 😅. One thing I discovered was that I actually run quite well after a really long warm up. Who knew? 🤷🏻‍♀️

I would definitely do something like this again. And likely not throw a trail race in the mix in a the lead up #alwayslearning 😅

Swipe through for details on what my training looked like, how I figured things out, how I fuelled and what I did between races.

Goals for the philly_marathon half marathon and 8K Saturday: #1 Have fun. #2 Don`t have an anxiety attack.

Both goals completed 😁

Lots of thoughts I`ll share over the next few days but thanks to all my fellow ambassadors, the pro athletes, Al & Crystal, and the people of Philly. I love this city ❤️

This weekend ended up different than expected, but not necessarily bad! Thanks to my bonus Abbott gift at NYC (#iykyk 😂), I had to pull out of philly_marathon this year. This was really sad at first since Philly is my favorite marathon and I was going to do the #freedomchallenge again this year because I loved it so much last year. But I felt better when I thought about the opportunity to cheer on my people who were going for milestones!!! laurenjawnelle got TWO PR’s in one day yesterday- a time PR on her half marathon AND a distance PR as she completed the #patriotchallenge (half plus 8k)!!! And I got to go in person to cheer with roadandtrackintrace (and met him in real life for the first time!!!) for makowski85 and justin_occ !!! makowski85 absolutely crushed his first Freedom Challenge (half plus 8k plus full marathon)!!! And justin_occ overcame medical issues and recent hospitalization to get to a strong finish on his marathon today!!! I am so proud of them as well as my fellow acsdnation and callingallturtles runners who crushed their goals this weekend!!! Congrats everyone!!! 🎉🥳👏🎊🍾🥂 #phillymarathon #gritty #friends
