Run Report for February 4

When you want things to get better you have to make a change.  I'm working hard on that.  I am using the fellow flowers "Get Gutsy" saying to help me make the changes to make things better.  I'm definitely going gutsy!

 With my running I am focusing on the 13.1 distance (which I always do).  This year is about setting a personal record.  No more finish lines with energy left in the tank.  I need one of my 7 finishes to be under 1:51 and I am hoping for at least 3 of them to be sub 2 hours.  It's doable.  Training and smart fueling is all that needs to happen.
I was lucky enough to celebrate Declare it Day with these fabulous ladies in Madison on Saturday.  We all have big goals and a great support system to make the goals a reality!

 We started out our goal setting with some fun, snowy, social miles.  I loved running and chatting with strong and determined friends.
 Sundays have bee
When I say that I am going to be BRAVE and listen to my heart.  I mean it.  It has been one stressful month and the final week of January was the WORST yet.  I'm tired and yet I can't sleep at night.  These runs and this goal are about getting back to the healthiest me for my family.
I'm so excited to train for the HER Madison half in June.  It's been giving me something to look forward to on these stress-filled days.   If you are interested in running the half or 5k in June (June 22 -24), please use coupon code MARGARET for a discounted rate.

I am so thankful for the awesome organization and leadership that Steena and Melissa put into Saturday's DID event.  It was just what I needed to remind myself that I CAN do big things.


The best part about spending Declare it Day in Madison was catching up with these awesome friends. 
Love the team of Wildflowers that I get to be a part of this year, too

Mile check in - 110/ 2018---getting there 1 mile at a time.
Putting in 100 pushups a day, too.

I'll be running as a St. Jude Hero at the end of April.  Learn more about that HERE.
