Happy Millrose Games Day to all who celebrate

Threw down a BQ today at @indymonumental.bsky.social marathon

The build for @indymonumental.bsky.social

One of my mantras during this training cycle for @indymonumental.bsky.social

My Garmin has more confidence in my abilities than I do - 🤣

Final long run for @indymonumental.bsky.social - repping the Butler XC gear as the Dawgs later in the day would win the Big East Championship convincingly

Week 2 in PeakTown - @indymonumental.bsky.social is getting so close

16 miles this morning with 8 at chill and 8 at cover paces to complete week 14 of @indymonumental.bsky.social #marathontraining

Arrived in PeakTown this morning after my 10 miler 20days until @indymonumental.bsky.social #marathontraining #runhardhavefun #dowork #bemonumental #runindy #improveeveryday #aimhigh

Week 10 of @indymonumental.bsky.social begins in the dark and 10 miles later as the sun rose

Me: “I thought you said this would be fun.”
Coach: “the fun is when you turn on Washington to CTFD on your finish @indymonumental.bsky.social”

Week 9 of @indymonumental.bsky.social training begins

Yes, I’m that dork when the plan says “Race Simulation” I do everything as I plan to do race day - from the pre race fit for warm up along with the kit I plan to wear for the race

30 mins at miles 1-10 pace

30 mins at miles 11-20 pace

30 mins at pace expected for majority of the final 10k

Hill repeats today in Franklin on the famous Dunn St Hill

Week 7 of @indymonumental.bsky.social training begins with an 80 minute easy run with 5k-mile pace pick ups in the middle on the last day of “Runners Are Made In The Summer”

Week 6 of @indymonumental.bsky.social commences - felt like this butterfly stopped by to remind me to “Run Hard-Have fun.”

8x:60 Hill repeats at the highest point in my land this morning - “Dragon’s Breath Hill”

Week 5 of @indymonumental.bsky.social training begins with a rainy run

Last day for extended stay in “SexyPaceville” and full long run on my favorite hill route

As the sweat poured doing IronStrength this morning all I could think about is this will help me close stronger for the right on New York, left on Capitol right on Washington to the finish on Nov. 8 @indymonumental.bsky.social

Week 4 of @indymonumental.bsky.social marathon training will be a short stay in “SexyPaceville”

Paid the price for yesterday’s “Not Sexy Pace” run and blew up during the close portion of this morning’s “Chill-n-Close” run

Week 3 of @indymonumental.bsky.social training begins and cooling the jets in the river after today’s run

Adidas Adizero Boston 13

Worked on my mantra for @indymonumental.bsky.social with today’s long run beaming because how the rest of the week went wasn’t sure how this would

Week 2 of training begins with 90 minutes easy and 100m strides

It’s not time to make 🍩; today started #bemonumental journey to #runhardhavefun and ultimately “Chill-Cover-Close” @indymonumental.bsky.social marathon Nov. 8 #runchat #dowork #improveeveryday #aimhigh #runindy #enjoytheprocess

If I’m back running the best hill route in Central Indiana then you know @indymonumental.bsky.social #marathontraining is about to get serious #runchat #runnersaremadeinthesummer #hillsarespeedworkindisguise #dowork #aimhigh #improveeveryday #bemonumental #runindy #run317 #marathontraining

Trying out some new kicks to see if they’ll go into the rotation for @indymonumental.bsky.social training cycle #runchat #runhardhavefun #marathontraining #aimhigh #runnersaremadeinthesummer #dowork #improveeveryday #bemonumental #runindy
