On Saturday, I checked something off my bucket list — run the entire @theparklandsoffloydsfork. Part of the Louisville Loop, the Parklands is a little shy of 20 miles long. They started building this new park in 2012 and completed it in 2016, and I've run most of it over the years. But running the entire thing requires some logistics — a ride to get back to the start and a commitment to running 20 miles (no bailing out!). And, FKTs had been on my radar and I had looked at a few in the area during 2020 but nothing got me excited. Then ... lightbulb moment. Nobody had established the Parklands as one, but I could! And I could get my long run in at the same time. Y'all know I love to multi-task. I coordinated with my friend @heatherlevinson for a ride back, and she surprised me by showing up at the start to send me off. The weather was great — upper 40s, cloudy, breezy but mostly to my back. There are some hill climbs in the early miles but it's a net downhill until about mile 12. I felt great until I hit those hills from 13-17 ... and I didn't know they were coming. Maybe for the best. I ran the whole way solo with no stops, carried water in my hydration vest along with a bunch of other sh*t like gels, a hat, a second mask, my phone, etc. It's so lovely out there, but I'll admit I got a little bored at times. Heather met me at the end — and brought donuts, bless — and gave me a ride back. The FKT route and my attempt are both verified now (link in bio); it goes from mile marker 74 near the Shelbyville Road silos to mile maker 54.5 at the overpass near the Broad Run entrance. Of course, you could run it from south to north if you wanted but boy that would be tough. Excited to see other people give it a go, and to go back and improve on my own time in the future. Maybe make it a marathon training staple?
Running is time to clear my head, and I have one less thing to worry about thanks to @roadid. I know if something were to happen to me, all my info is handy — great when you run solo and sans phone, which is my usual situation. Excited to be back with #teamRoadID for 2021 AND to share the love with y’all — use code TGRUNFIT to save 25% through Feb. 26! 💕 P.S. no surprise but @morgan_the_aussie also wears a @dogid and we highly recommend — especially if you’re looking for a jingle-free option! 🐶
Did a whole lot of inside running last week. (I watched the entire season of #tedlasso.) Grateful I was able to get all my runs and workouts in as planned without worrying about busting my a**. Plus, got to do some gear testing like wearing my NB RC Elites for an 8 mi tempo and my buns just because I wanted to feel fast. 🤷🏼‍♀️ That said, super excited for clear roads and warmer temps this week! 🙌🏻 #springiscoming #teampbt #teamroadid #pickyambadassador #carmelmarathon
Picky Bars appreciation post! I joined the Picky Club a while back — 2019? — because I love #pickyoats like a lot. And I love the bars, too. They’re designed for athletes and especially athletes on-the-go, with ingredients formulated to provide energy without stomach upset (IYKYK). Especially since I’ve been working from home over the past year, my run schedule varies and a Picky Bar is a great grab if I need a pre-run snack — or if I need something between a long line of zoom meetings. PS #pickyclub members get a discount, you can revise your order any time, and you get other cool stuff like samples of future releases. 💕 #pickybars #pickyambadassador #lifepoints #marathontraining
Shoutout to all the #pbtlou athletes out there working hard! My coach @mattebersole and I partnered to offer Louisville-based training with tailored plans and optional Tuesday night speed sessions (maybe not this week 🤔). If you’re planning on a spring half or full, or just want some structure, we’re still accepting registrations! Check the #linkinbio for more info. #teampbt #run502 #louisvillerunners #louisvillerunning #runlouisville
Lot of us are about to be snowed in, so make plans to stay safe and warm and sign up for a class with me this week! On-demand available for $10/month, too. ❄️ #seeyouonthemat #kineticenergyfit
