What do you think of the sea green laces in the New Balances?
6 years. 6 states. 6 half marathons. 1 full marathon. 🏃♂️✨ It all started at 39 — not to prove anything to anyone else, but to prove it to myself. If you're sitting on a goal thinking "I'm too old" or "it's too late" — I'm here to tell you, you're not and it isn't. The road doesn't care about your age. It just asks you to show up. And if I can do it, so can you. I'm here if you need a push. 🖤
Just gave my UA Charged+ Chase a serious upgrade with laces in Flamingo Pink 🦩✨
These things are the Fixadent of shoelaces — put them in, slip them on, and it's perfect every time. No more tying, no more tripping. Focus on the run, not your laces coming undone. 🔥
Drop a 🦩 if you need these in your life. Then visit the link in my bio for a discount for your own laces!
FRESH OUT THE BOX. 📦👟🔥
There is no better feeling after a hard season than new shoe day. We are SO back.
Shots from the half marathon. A challenging but good time!
Medal Monday is hitting different today! 🏅
Not only did I just finish my 6th half marathon, but I also checked off my 6th state on the half/full marathon map!
The collection keeps growing. 🗺️✨
Here's to chasing more finishing lines!
Congrats to all the recent finishers!
The sock burning ritual at the signifies the end of spring and ensures good runs all year! Why not?
The hills were no joke but we came, we saw and we conquered the .

Pre-race dinner tip: train with foods you can find anywhere. For me, pizza is the easiest carb to load.
If your pre-race routine depends on a specialty item from back home, you're already adding stress you don't need. Keep it simple, keep it consistent — your gut will thank you on race day.
What's your go-to pre-race meal?
