A three medal weekend is the best! @oaktownhalf knows that it’s all about the bling! 🏅 An afternoon 5k on Saturday and an early morning half marathon on Sunday makes for one epic weekend (and tired pregnant woman). 🤰🏻Baby girl, however, seemed to really enjoy the activity because once I got home from the half, she was moving all around like she was saying, “Keep going! That was fun!” 👶🏻 FULL race recap is now on the blog. runstrongrun.com ⬅️ (Link in bio ) Next race on my agenda is the @giantrace in about 4 weeks. 💥 Happy #medalmonday friends! 💕 • • • #oaktown #bibchat #bibravepro #runstrongrun

I did it! A 5k yesterday and a pregnancy half marathon PR today! 🎉 I am pregnant and strong. A women’s body can do amazing things! 💪🏻 I decided not to do timed run/walk intervals, but instead to just go based on how I felt at the time and try my best to keep a consistent 13:45 pace (a 3 hour half marathon finishing time). I was fairly successful with this until about mile 9 when I started having an uncomfortable feeling in my gut. Intestines? 🤷🏻‍♀️ I decided to keep on moving forward one step at a time. A fire was lit at mile 12 knowing that the finish line was drawing near. At mile 12, I also spotted two gentleman ahead of me. We first met at mile 2 and went back and forth for most of the race. I caught up to them with a smile on my face and said, “We’re almost done!” 😄 Overall, a fantastic race and definitely one I’d do again. Thanks @oaktownhalf for an epic weekend! (Full race recap coming soon.) 💥 Happy #sundayrunday friends! 💕 (Swipe for a post-race #babybump pic. 🤰🏻) • • • #oaktownhalf #25weekspregnant #momentumjewelry #gogarmin #bibchat #bibravepro #keepittight #runhappy #13point1 #fortwofitness #runstrongrun

For tomorrow’s @oaktownhalf, it’s all about the orange. 🧡 It’s gonna be a slow half, but step by step I’m going to get through those 13.1 miles! 💥 • • • #oaktownhalf #bibchat #bibravepro #flatrunstrongrun #karmaBR #runhappy #runstrongrun

First race of the weekend is done! 💥 This was baby girl’s 6th race! Although my time was 2.5 minutes slower than the last 5k I did two months ago, I’m still proud of my performance. I never gave up and ran as much as my body allowed. 🤰🏻 Overall, a great @oaktownhalf 5k race. Tomorrow, I take on the half marathon. 💥 • • • #oaktownhalf #bibchat #bibravepro #25weekspregnant #fortwofitness #karmaBR #gogarmin #momentumjewelry #runstrongrun
