Do you get caught up in the #mileage trap each month? With the new month beginning, everyone is posting their monthly totals. Some people feel like they’re not on target with their #training if they aren’t #running as many miles as everyone in these little insta squares are. Be cautious of running #junkmiles to hit a certain number. Your leggies need rest and #recovery time instead of extra miles if you’ve got a #goal you’re trying to hit. Are you interested in coaching?

#medalmonday - @route66marathon was my 6th #halfmarathon and I ran it in memory of my friend Marcus. He passed away while running the Route in 2010. This race is a big deal for Tulsa but it’s extra special to me. 💕 Are you interested in coaching? Click here! Do you need help with your running form? Click here!

Runners + Strength Training

I ❤️ #strengthtraining as much as I love my #pavementtime. I had a really great routine of going to the gym before work for several years. After my #hysterectomy, my habits changed dramatically. I fell out of my #lifting routine and have struggled to get back into it. Aside from running stronger and longer, I’m working on waking up early to get my #weights in before my day starts. Having a strong core helps prevent injury and keeps me sane 😁 Are you interested in coaching? Click here! Do you need help with your running form? Click here!

Did you know that it is hard to get #VitaminD from most foods? This is because we only have a small amount of Vitamin D rich foods to choose from unless they are fortified.
