Moving with Purpose

Moving with Purpose This is MY journey. My goal is to help and inspire others who struggle with themselves and with staying consistent. 2021 Update:

Runner since May 2012. Lets Go!

Here I will document my journey of weight loss, weight maintenance and training for my second half marathon after two hip repair surgeries (the second having been done on June 19, 2020).

No speedwork for me today, they were running in the uneven grassy soccor fields today and decided to take it easy” bc I have a little hip strain from pulling Milo yesterday and since I have a 10k Saturday I want to be sure I feel enough to try my best. I tried running based on how I felt. I dont look at my watch anymore on runs except for when i do speedwork. My pace doesn’t matter to me anymore and I am naturally getting faster by being consistent. Hope you got out and enjoyed the sun! Also, im glad I decided to run at home bc I ended up packing long leggings and a long sleeve for speedwork bc I originally planned on going… I would have sweat to death 😂🫣.

Its taken a long time and hard work on myself to realize one thing: Ladies we need to eat! Diet culture is toxic. Food is not bad. Our bodies need protein fats and carbs to survive, to heal, to grow. You want to run endless miles or lift pounds upon pounds…. EAT!! You want results? EAT! You want healthy bones, muscles and brains? EAT! Im no longer afraid to eat. I no longer restrict. I also no longer binge. Ive been maintaining 80lb loss for over a year. I eat, I run, I rest. Underfueling leads to boneloss, muscle loss, injuries etc. you want to maintain long runs… please EAT! It hurts my soul seeing so many women not eating, leading to underfuling while overtraining. We need to do better for the generation behind us is watching.

That run felt disgusting but a long run is done! I was shooting for 7 but the wind plus heat wore me down and on top of unexpected female issues Im just happy to have gotten at least an hour done.

Its hot but its done. The only way to beat the heat is to run in it. Maybe by time real summer gets here It will feel better…. But i doubt it 😂

Speedwork did not go as i hoped but im not mad about it. It was supposed to be 2 sets of 600/600, 3x400/400. I did 1 set and my stomach said no more. With warm up and cool down i still got almost 4.5 miles in on this hot evening.

I ran out of my comfort zone today (top wise).  That run felt brutally hard.  It sucks running in 40 degrees one day to ...

I ran out of my comfort zone today (top wise). That run felt brutally hard. It sucks running in 40 degrees one day to 70/80 the next. I tried slowing down when I started feeling nauseous. While im ready for warmer weather, im not looking forward to adjusting to running in it.

First 8 miles of S2S last year compared to today’s 8.  I can do this! ❤️
