brooke i loved this & LOVED the recorded feature!! i’ve been wanting to incorporate it myself so it made me happy to hear you read it :’) also i just got gifted hokas so this very much resonates for me 🥰 hope you had a beautiful holiday!
Aww thank you, Alix!! I’ve been having fun with incorporating the recording feature, def give it a try!! and OOOOO HOKAS TIME TO START RUNNING!!!! ♥️ I hope you had a beautiful holiday as well!
Eyyyyyy congrats for keeping up with the running! 7 months, damn!! And for running the races 💪🏻 love this post and the tips! I’m also married to a Marathon runner 🥹
I’ve only started lately to run once a week (I’m not being really constant though) on the treadmill (we have one at home - I love that I can run, or walk! on it in my pajama). I’ve put up a little shelf just right in front of it, at eye level, so that I can put my phone and watch whatever I want while running. It’s a game changer! Turns out that I can run if I can trick my mind into thinking that I’m not running 🤣
Oh my god I am so jealous of your treadmill set up! I have a bike that we bought two years ago before I got into running and no room for a treadmill at the moment. I’ll be daydreaming about pajama runs and manifesting a treadmill someday.
Also I feel like we need to start a club of casual runners married to marathon runners 😂♥️
This was great! I love seeing running content from "bad" runners and not just natural atheletes.
So I joined track in high school despite not being in any kind of shape all because my friend convinced it would be fun. I was miserable those first few weeks and was considering quiting.
Our first meet was happening and I was on the 800m relay cause our team was small and no one liked middle distance. I made the mistake of getting sunburned and dehydrated then ran way too fast the first lap resulting in me collapsing before reaching the finishing line and repeatedly vomiting for the next thirty minutes. I was in bed the next day for sun poisioning.
It was horribly embrassing and yet that was the moment I learned to love running. That adrenaline from the race did it. I've now run inconsistently for a decade.
Thank you so much for replying and telling this story! It’s amazing how the truly embarrassing moments can be the ones that really push us to invest in something. I’m glad running has stayed a part of your life!
Nice post Brooke - as a fellow runner with 2 half-marathons in my recent past, and a 3rd on the way next March, I totally get the whole vomiting your heart through your mouth thing! It's great that you're out doing something, and keeping yourself moving. Something I can't always put my hand on my heart and say I do on a daily basis.
As a new runner, I never ever worried about finishing last at anything. Where did the people who didn't enter come? For me, it's never been "what position did I finish in?" but always "did I run or not?"

This was hilarious! I hate running but, for a second, this piece made me consider trying it again 😅
