How to run faster

A client I am coaching asked a great question, " How do I run faster?"  I gave them the secret...😻

To run faster you need to train faster.😸

If you run 15 minute miles in practice, you’ll race 15 minute miles.

If you run 11 minute miles in practice, you’ll race 11 minute miles.

If you run 8 minute miles in practice, you'll race 8 minute miles.

If you run 6 minute miles in practice, you'll race 6 minute miles.

Running is that simple. A stopwatch is really essential in the marathon distance to properly pace yourself, it's like how a graphing calculator for linear algebra is a must. You need to know the exact time you are trying to run, before starting a race and pace yourself the entire time. If you go for a goal, you will fall pretty close. 😼

Go into a race feeling confident about your practice, and everything will fall into place. 💞 No surprises, unless you’re faster, of course. 😸

If you want help with running feel free to private message me!😽

Happy Running,

Running

It feels good to run after letting injuries heal after last fall! I did a ten miler on Saturday and three hour 20ish mile run Sunday, it is nice to be back at something, a routine training plan, I have been doing for years. Maybe, I will have a race against the clock on a track for a half or something in a few months! Personal goals, small obtainable goals😊

Run Happy,

Masks

I have sewn about 1000 masks for donation, and I am still sewing. I’m going to keep sewing these masks to donate, to donate as many as possible!😊

Mask Sewing

Here is the link to the pattern! https://freesewing.org/blog/facemask-frenzy

I am donating these masks to nurses and doctors, and anyone who needs a mask!

My big tip for sewing a lot of these at once is, fold your material several times before cutting the stencil so you cut several pieces at once. Do your ribbon before sewing together the main pieces!

Poem

Glory

How do I glorify God through running?

Hold Jesus’s hand every step, stunning.

Running for something bigger than myself.

Always know we run for God, not our self.

Having faith sets us on the correct path.

Choosing a cure to find, as an empath.

Funding the cure through love and philanthropy.

Caring for others, run with empathy.

Having to run for something bigger than yourself.

This opportunity to prove oneself.

Favorite hymn from mass, I am still humming.

Divinity encompasses running.

Hummingbirds, cardinals, butterflies, signs.

Feeling the power running on coastlines.

Holy spirit comes to me all the time.

Faith, spirituality, all divine.

Receiving the call, serve God almighty.

Embrace all your light, embrace you slightly.

Preach to the choir, preach to them all.

Captivating faith, my soul you enthrall.
