Looks like it will be upper body workouts for the next couple of days! My legs are still processing what I put them through over the weekend 🤪 I love breaking my arm days into 2 different days so I can really focus in on certain muscle groups! This one is a good pump and only requires DBs and bands! You can’t beat that! 😍 #workoutroutine #workout #workoutmotivation #armdayworkout #dumbbell @ASICS @lululemon

Yesterday was a tough day. I knew within the first mile of the race that my goal time was going to be tough to get with the heat & humidity. It was supposed to stay in the 50s with overcast.. which was already too warm for my liking anyways, but it actually turned out to be sunny and upper 60s. My warmest training run was 46 😅 after 18 miles of pushing and LOTS of hills, my legs just gave out. I’ve never cramped up before mid run and truly didn’t even expect it. My body was so depleted.. I was covered in salt and had nothing left to give. I text my husband and asked if I could quit. He reminded me to just finish and that it was OKAY if I didn’t hit my goal. None of this was a reflection of my fitness or capabilities. I’m so proud of myself for crossing the finish line and finishing 12th out of 589 females! #marathon #run #running #runner #runtok @FlipBelt @Nike @Little Rock Marathon

Here is the reality of running. Not every single race day does how you want it and that’s OKAY! I was so bummed when I started cramping up. I knew my body was waving its flag. I tried to push, but my quads were in knots. I have been training in 20-40 degree temps and this heat just took me out. I am not someone that performs well in the heat. I’ve always known that about myself. I’m happy with this effort and even more proud of myself for forcing myself to get to the finish line! Will I try to qualify again? Maybe 🤷🏼‍♀️ maybe not. Who knows! If I do try, it will be in the MIDDLE of winter 🤪 #running #runtok #runner #run #marathon @Little Rock Marathon

I can’t believe race day is tomorrow!! 😬 the nerves are definitely starting to sit in! I’m so excited to run this race though. I am so thankful God has blessed me with my health and strength to be able to do this! Good luck to everyone out there running this weekend! Be proud of yourself regardless of the outcome! You’re doing hard things! #marathon #run #running #runtok #runner @FlipBelt @Nike @CRZ YOGA @GU Energy Labs @Carbs Fuel @Body Glide

I had abandoned core work for a hot minute, but I am back!! Things have been BUSY! This one is a super simple workout, but very effective. Keep your core engaged and tight throughout this whole workout. You can incorporate this in at the end of another workout if needed! #workoutroutine #workoutmotivation #workout #abs #fyp

If it seems like we’re hitting a lot of arms this week… it’s because we are! Race day is creeping up on me, so I’m trying to keep my legs fresh! This one is a good one! My biceps were really starting to burn by the end. Save this one for the next time you’re wanting to get a killer pump 🤪🤪 #arms #workoutmotivation #workout #armday #workoutroutine @lululemon @ASICS

Okay this one made me sore 😅 my chest is killing me today! The best part? This only took me 25 minutes! I rest one minute between each round!! The finisher at the end about took me out. Save this for the next time you’re looking for a good upper body burn! #workout #workoutmotivation #dumbbell #upperbodyworkouts #armday @NOBULL @lululemon

It is RACE week yall!! So we are taking it easy and dialing back this week 🙌🏽 I went with an all bodyweight leg day so that my legs will feel strong & fresh for Sunday! I also love to have a good leg day where you don’t have to pull out a ton of things, but can still get a good burn. 🔥 it always nice to have a workout you can literally do anywhere too! #legs #legday #workoutroutine #workout #workoutmotivation

Today and everyday I am so thankful for the grace God has given me. Through the highs and lows, He is the one thing that remains the same. He is such a good, good Father. February was beautiful and I know March will be even better. Grateful for each and every single day here with my loved ones, my health, and my Savior! #godisgood #february #mylife #runtok #fyp

Everyone loves a bodyweight workout right?! Sometimes I get more sore from these workouts than I do any other workouts! It is so nice to have workouts you can do literally anywhere too! No equipment needed usually means they’re simple, but also effective! Hope you enjoy this one. Let me know what you think! #workout #noequipmentworkout #workoutroutine #workoutmotivation #fullbodyworkout

I felt so good on this run. I don’t know why I always seem to forget that I get so hot so easily! 😅🥹 3 miles in and I was regretting the thick long sleeve! Weather is shaping up to be pretty much perfect run conditions next weekend. I’m nervous. I’m excited. I’m ready 🤘🏻 #run #runtok #runtokcommunity #runner #running @Garmin Connects @FlipBelt @Strava @ASICS @GU Energy Labs

I love a minimal equipment workout! Sometimes these workouts feel like my best workouts of the entire week! Here is the flow of the workout: you do 30 KB swings, 30 pushups, 30 sit ups. Then you move to the round of 20… then to 10, so on and so forth. KB swings paired with the pushups were SPICY 🌶️. Save this one for the next time you want to light up your shoulders. #workout #workoutmotivation #workoutroutine #kettlebellworkout #fullbodyworkout @Garmin Connects @Nike

It’s really cute when he says “oh, one day maybe you’ll get there..” 🤪🤦🏼‍♀️😂 RUDE! But for real he actually posts sermons every single day and it makes me SO happy to know how many people that account is reaching. People hearing the Gospel every single day! 🙌🏽 👏🏽 meanwhile, I’m just going to keep posting lolol #run #running #runtok #fyp

This was AWFUL. I’ll just preface with that 🤪 after the first two tri-sets I didn’t know if I could make it through the AMRAP!! It was 🌶️ save this for the next time you want to light up your Leggies! Very good workout!! #workoutroutine #workoutmotivation #legs #legday #workout

Another spicy arm day on deck! I took a minute rest between each superset today! I finished in 29 mins! This is the perfect workout when you don’t have a ton of time or equipment. My arms will definitely be sore from this one! On the finisher, move fast and try to get at least 2 full rounds. Your only rest time should be transitioning to the next lift! #arms #armday #lifting #workoutroutine #workout @Garmin Connects @Saucony @LSKD
