Walk Fiercely

I know I haven't been on here in awhile. And I apologize. I also know I'm a little late to the party in posting this. BUT the 51st Annual Charleston Distance Run is Saturday! You still have time to sign up and you totally should. There is something for every one and every level. It's a challenging course. But also very rewarding when you finish. Register at the link below. You won't regret it.

Charleston Distance Run The Charleston Distance Run is on Saturday August 31, 2024. It includes the following events: 15 Mile Race, 3-Person 15 Mile Relay, and 5K Run/Walk.

UC Half training with the Grrl Gang Runners and Friends. Mileage for most of us was 8 miles. Some did a little less and some did a half (13.1) 😱. Got to see some of our favorite friends along the way Jimmy Murray Sydney Murray and Eve. I did 8. First 3 my legs felt like cement and calves were super tight. All I wanted was to get back to the car. But at mile 3 things started to click. Last two I was just fatigued. Hoping when race day comes, I’ll be ready! Thanks to everyone for the constant support and encouragement.

Negative splits! Yeah, it’s just a 5K. But it’s a start. I don’t usually care about that. But my pace has been all over the place. So this seems to be a step back in the right direction. And I know Bradford Deel would be proud. 😜

I’ve never been a huge fan of gaiters (face covering). I accidentally bought 100 when I thought I was buying towels. But doing Charleston WV parkrun this morning in 32° weather with wind and wind gusts up to 20 mph, I’m now a believer!! 🥶💨 It saved me. I brought 10 more to share with friends. Hopefully, it helped them too. We had a small group today-33-but the faithful were there. Thank you to all the volunteers. 👏🏼🥰Today had to be brutal for y’all. As always, we warmed up afterward at Mea Cuppa Coffee. ☕️
