InjuryProof Running

NEW CHALLENGE INCOMING: 91 Days to Fit🔥

It's time for me to get back on the consistency train, so for the next three months, I'm locking back in🏃‍♂️💨

Here are my rules/goals:
1. Run every morning as early as I can for that day
2. Double sessions every week day, 1x on weekends. Close to 2 hours of training per day (still giving myself grace/flexibility with my hip recovery). Can include running, cross training, and speed walking
3. My goal is to get my TrainingPeaks fitness level from 75 today to 100 by the end of this challenge
4. Be intentional about recovery. This includes active recovery, naps, and diet

I MISSED A PR BY 3 SECONDS
13.1 | 1:16:15 at The Woodlands Half Marathon

I totally can't complain though. I had been working through some hip and pelvis issues which are getting way better, so putting up this kind of effort felt amazing🏃‍♂️💨

The plan was to average 6min/mi and have a nice run, but I was just feeling too fast (swipe for splits)🔥

Current plan is to race the Indy Full in Nov, so time for a big summer and maybe a 2:29 fall🤷‍♂️

Every year I do a stupid physical challenge to ring in the new year, and 5 years ago I started running because I heard about Denton's Dummest Marathon, aka 131 laps around the Denton Courthouse🥵

I didnt get to do it that year because of covid, so I had a wonderful full circle moment today finally getting to check that box off!!!🥳🎉

I came in planning to do 20 miles and kept it all at a nice steady zone 2. My hip flexors didnt enjoy it, but at least I know what to work on going forward🔥

Big thanks to for running miles with me and making them a breeze💪

This is gonna be one heck of a year, I can feel it🏃‍♂️💨

WHAT A YEAR FOR RUNNING🏃‍♂️💨

Things started out rough. Skipping my spring race because of a knee injury definitely put a hard damper on things. But, I got back as quick as I could, put my head down, and grinded hard over the summer🥵

10k in October: 36:08 --> 34:26
13.1 in November: 1:23 --> 1:16
5k in November: 17:30 --> 16:02

This year I only ran 2,860ish miles compared to last year's 3,398, but I cross trained a lot and did even more training time!!🔥

GOALS FOR 2026 (planned races so far)
10k in Jan: 34:26 --> 32:59
13.1 in Feb: 1:16 --> sub 1:12
5k in Mar: 16:02 --> 15:40
26.2 in Nov: 3:14 --> 2:26

How did your 2025 go?? Can't wait to see everyone crush next year!!!!🥳

5k | 16:02 | 🥈Katy YMCA Turkey Dash

What a fun way to end the fall racing season!!🎉🪅

and I got to do our first turkey trot and I was able to hit a big ole PR🏃‍♂️💨 I think it might become our new tradition❤️

Couldn't make it to but got to rep them with my new favorite dad joke hat🔥🔥

13 weeks until The Woodlands Half Marathon

1:16:12 | 6th OA at Toyota Music Factory Half Marathon

came in full force and whooped my butt. I haven't raced a half or full in a year, so it was great getting back out and also setting a 7min PR!!!🚀

Not quite the time I wanted, but I'll take it since I was fighting abdominal cramps and some gnarly wind💨💨

Super big thank you to for being the best runner girlfriend ever and to for keeping me healthy and for cheering me on!!📣📣

Next up, Woodlands Half 2026. Time to come back even stronger💪🔥

10k | 34:26🥇 | 5:32min/mi

3rd year doing the Double Trouble 10k, 3rd year taking home the dub😎🔥

First race of the season was a hit and I can't wait for the Toyota Music Factory Half Marathon in 27 days. Sub 1:14 here we come🚀🏃‍♂️💨

3.1mi | 17:30 | 3rd OA | 3 second PR

My face always perfectly sums up how I feel about 5ks. Averaging 190 HR for 10+ minutes and having to drain sweat out of your shirt after a race is my favorite

This is my 3rd time on this course and it's brutal, downhill out and uphill back. This was my first time running it well with negative splits!!

Gonna keep getting better at this event, and hopefully with some cooler weather and a faster course I'll put up even better times this year
