Fun little speed sesh… playing with paces while keeping it mostly in my comfort zone… nice way to end the week ☀️👟🩵

Yesterday we got to test drive the Adidas Hyperboost Run and the Adizero Adios Pro 5 (and we did not get abducted by aliens 👽)
The Hyperboost Run has a nice firm cushion and a stable ride. Great for an everyday trainer, and an all around comfy shoe.
The Adios Pro 5 is a uniquely stable plated shoe, designed for comfort and energy return. Great for race day and faster efforts.
Always fun trying new shoes and learning things with the best company!

Fun medals are what draws me to races!
Challenge medals, bring it!
I’ve wanted to do the Coastal Race Productions BAM series since I first started running, but this was the first year I could make all the dates work. Thanks to Justin Safin for the initial inspo for February, once I saw that huge sand dollar medal I was all in!
The 10k series was perfect for a year focused on shorter races and strategy!
And a race series at the coast, yes, please! ☀️🏖️👟
This series has the very best medals, no contest! Original designs with fun details… I love the Polaroid style of these 10k medals, with the race date and a style specific to each beach town. Swipe to see what’s packed in a runner’s travel case!
5 races, 7 medals, 22.7 miles, 3 amazing race experiences! 🩵
I’ll definitely be back for more in 2027 🏴‍☠️

Ran the third and final race of the BAM series at Ocean Isle Beach this morning, my 5th and fastest 10k this year! 💥
I didn’t sleep well and was feeling a little “off” waiting in my car… which just goes to show that dialing things in *most* of the time goes a lot farther than getting it all right on race day!
After a bunch of distance running the past few years, I wanted to focus on the 10k this year. In part I wanted a bit of a rest 🙃 and I also wanted to challenge myself to learn how to properly pace a 10k. After some miscalculations and a bit of trial and error, things finally fell into place!! I eased into this start, locked into a strong pace, and had a bit left to pick it up in the end (bridge hill and headwinds notwithstanding).
The 10k is my absolute favorite distance to race, and Coastal Race Productions always delivers an exceptional race experience!
I’ll definitely be back for more, I feel like there’s still room for another PR!
Today, another celebration of running with gratitude for being able to do this. ☀️👟🩵

Picture perfect weather for our Tuesday night interval workout!
I was happy to hit and hold a 10:30 pace on the uphills and downhills, and I didn’t even have to stare at my watch! This is something I’ve been working on for months, finally seeing results!
I’ve also been very consistent with my strength training for the past 8 weeks, and I am really feeling the improvement in my running and overall.
Best of all, this group of runners who show up every week and make it fun!! ☀️👟🩵

Team Anti-Gravity! Medoc Trail Races success!! We all finished with zero bloodshed!
Justin always reminds me to register for this race— it sells out quick! ✅
Fast forward four months and we’re looking at rain and falling temps 🌧️
It was a fun surprise to see so many friends out there today! I didn’t even get all the selfies because it rained all morning (blurry photos due to phone in ziplock bag 🙃) but the race was super enjoyable as always, with just the right amount of danger!
Best post race celebration ever! Grilled hot dogs, as crisp as you want them, homemade chowder, chips, cookies, candy, and sodas, plus the traditional bananas. Bluegrass music and awards presentation, an awesome hoodie and hat for every runner!!
When I arrived in the dark, the forecast wasn’t promising, but like everyone else who showed up, I thought, “this could be fun, or at least a fun shared adventure!”
As always, thanks to Justin for the idea, the reminder, and the follow thru energy to get the thing done! ✅🌧️ 🫈 👟💜
