4/5-(15 miles) Um did I just do that?!?! I’m OVER THE MOON happy!!! I was worrying and worrying about this long run for weeks because I just wasn’t sure if I could do it & I did it and at such a faster pace than I thought possible! My quote on my running calendar today perfectly explains how this run went! It wasn’t easy at first but I did it! So I will walk you through my morning, I woke up rather reluctantly at 5, but then didn’t get out of bed until 5:30 because like I said I was very reluctant to run. Eventually I got up, ate a bag of cereal and half a granola bar, drank some water and set out around 6:10. It wasn’t that cold out around high 20s-low 30s, no wind and sunny. So honestly it was a very nice morning for a run & I saw way more runners out than usual. I started off at a slow pace and in my head I broke up the long run into 3, 5 mike segments to make it more manageable. The first 5 miles were less then great. My legs felt okay, but my motivation wasn’t there. I had to stop after 2 miles due to stomach issues. So I stopped, went to the bathroom and then continued on my way. I felt a lot better for a few miles. These miles were spent mostly in the engineering quad and on the Urbana side of campus. The next 5 miles started out rather slow. I couldn’t believe I still had 10 miles to go because it seemed like I had already been running for a while. Eventually I just focused on what I was running and tried to forget how much more I had to run. I started running through some of the Urbana neighborhoods by the soroties over there and eventually I started to speed up in the later miles. Some of these miles dragged, and I wanted to quit, but I got through it. The last 5 miles!!! This was shocking the best segment of my run. All of my paces were in the 8 minute rage and I was shocked. When I hit the 10 mile mark I realized I was almost done and I realized I could defiantly do this. So I kicked it into high gear and began to get faster. I didn’t think I was going to get a half marathon time under 2 hours, but your girl did it! I was so happy!! The miles 10-13 I was averaging 8:20 pace which is great! Post half I was just riding that Runner’s high for the last two miles and I finished with a mile of 8:15😎 I’m so happy with this run and it affirms to me that I am ready to crush this half. You can do whatever you set you your mind to & running is proof of that! Post run I took a quick shower, legs up for 10 minutes, pulled in my compression socks & sweat pants and went to eat breakfast before class. I went in on a great post long run breakfast of oatmeal/yogurt, eggs & FRENCH TOAST BAKE! When I saw they made this morning that was all that was getting me through the run at some points😂 The only soreness I had was some knee pain (I think I need new shoes), slight glute soreness towards the end, some shin pain at some points and then shoulder tightness. I did try some fueling during the run around mile 6 when I was losing hope in myself😂 All I had were gummy bears & pretzels. I liked the gummy bears, but they somewhat froze so I had maybe 5 during the run and 5 right after the run. As for the pretzels I only had around 3. I don’t really think any of it helped. Maybe it gave me a bit of a boost for the end, but I’m not sure. I think I’m going to try some Gatorade chews and salt tablets instead. That is all for my workout today! Longest run ever & those last 5 miles had me feeling like a beast💪🏻 Off to class, then I will properly stretch, do some work, eat & maybe take a little nap. For lunch I had some chicken chili which was actually real good + potatoes & veggies. My afternoon before class was actually lowkey. Without barre, I stretched a lot, talked to my friends, took a super short cat nap and then did some work. Later in the day my hips became sore (from sitting in class post long run for 2 hours) I’m hoping they will feel okay tomorrow. It’s just my one hip so😬 This was one of the longest days I’ve had in a while tbh. Post class I took a little walk, drank some hit chocolate and then had a lecture. Then I took another little nap/rested, and headed to bible study. Then I had some pasta & salad for dinner which was SO good before walking 20 minutes to play intramural sand volleyball😂 I initially didn’t want to go, but it was so fun even though I was freezing. I finished my night by watching la la land! I’m so looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow omg I literally can’t wait to go to bed! I got 41,00 steps today so your girl is another level of tired🙃 I’m thankful that my body allows me to do what I love & I’m thankful for the ability to run & move & walk & jump

Back to back long runs are good for evacuating the drama out of your system and maybe for my ultra marathon regimen too. I'm deviating slightly from my marathon training plan for today since I wasn't able to knock it out on Monday (check out my site runningfatchef.com to follow my 8 week marathon plan on the main page). Nevertheless, I feel strong, sore and ecstatic that it is done. Later on today, I'll be hitting the gym to die some more for leg day. Shortly after, I'll be with @esnelldesign as he captures some dope shots of fitness geeks and freaks onto his lens with @posingschoolnyc. If you haven't or don't know of them, check them out. What's on your regimen for today? #runningfatchef #fatrunner #Spartanfinisher #ultramarathoner #marathoner #ultramarathontraining #marathontraining #selfie #celfie #runner #running #fitnessmotivation #fitmom #fitness #swiftwicksocks #chaseadventure #milesonmiles #endurancerunner #hellobeautiful #blackgirlsrun #bgr (at Brooklyn Bridge)

February = 138 miles; March = 161 miles

So I realized I never posted my February miles because I forgot as per usual so here you go! February was defiantly a re focus month and I spent a lot of time cross training and getting stronger after my injury! All the cross training really helped because I was able to up my mileage in March and even get two 40 mile weeks in! I’m really proud of all the progress I’m making not only in running, but with cross training and lifting too! Here’s to peak week and then some tapering before my goal half! Less then one month out ah!!! I’m looking forward to another great month with lots of running, lots of cross training, lots of weights, lots of time outdoors & ending my freshmen year on a strong note!!

10/6-(10 miles) YO first of all I am downright shocked that this run went as well as it did. I had expected it to be horrible because for the first three miles that’s how I felt. I woke up early this morning planning on getting my long run and it was completely pouring. The forecast had predicated rain, but only some light showers not a downpour. So I got up and decided I might as well eat breakfast and run later. So I went and sat downstairs for about two hours eating and working on homework. Then I went to the library and then finally I came back and started my long run around 12.

For the first 3 mikes I felt very blah and was totally cramping up. I just ran some miles around the engineering quad. After that and around mile 4,5, and 6 I began to feel a lot better. I ran around the arboretum and the south quad area of campus. It kept misting on and off, but it actually felt nice. It was super humid when I started running, but by the end it had cooled out. For the last two miles I kicked it and ended up with a pace of 7:30 to 7:40, which was awesome. I felt really good those last two miles too. My time overall was 1:29:11 at 8:54 pace which is my fastest 10 mile run so far!! So I am super happy with it overall!

Tonight I have my sorority barn dance which will be fun!! Other than that I’m just relaxing until then:)

Thankful for Gilmore girls and overall shorts
