My 2nd marathon…what an experience! First full in Knoxville, and why not make it a birthday marathon 🥳 (Apparently I ran a mile for every year I’ve been alive 😂🏃🏼♀️) The course was beautiful…and generous…they even threw in a bonus half mile or so 😅 The weather…perfect birthday vibes, questionable race conditions ☀️🥵
Ended up with a 4:18 chip time…4:13 on Strava…an 11 to 16 minute PR depending on how you count it. I’ll take it. But honestly, the best part of this one wasn’t the race…it was my kids, family, and friends. Having you cheering, showing up, making signs, handing me ice water (and fireball 😂), and hugging me through it all meant more than I can put into words. I felt every bit of that support out there.
So grateful I’m able to do hard things like this…with people I love in my corner. Already planning the next one!! #knoxvillemarathon #birthdaymarathon #thatwashot🔥 @kaylabopage@andrewfetch@misscrin@yeti2k@hilaryfetch@michellecatchison@heidi.vc.offel@p_a_osickey
A birthday celebration, the Girls on the Run end of season 5k (Ellis killed it!!!), and tailgating with my favorite girlies…what a delightful weekend and it’s not over yet!

My first marathon, @indymonumental , was phenomenal!!! What a fun time - friends to prepare and celebrate with 💕, fantastic spectators and snacks along the way, and perfect weather. I finished just under my stretch goal, 4:29:00!! And absolutely can’t wait to sign up for my next one! First time visiting Indianapolis, and what a welcoming city. Thanks to @otffarragut for the training, mixed with a lot of long runs, and felt great running this race!! #indymarathon #knoxvillerunning

On Sunday I ran my 2nd half marathon, the covenant half here in Knoxville. Just as fun as the first…but with many more hills haha. I exceeded my expectations again, finishing stronger than I hoped! Shoutout to Orangetheory Fitness Farragut for some great strength training and speed work. And to Covenant Health Knoxville Marathon for a well organized race!
I also got to run the kids mile with Ellis the night before, and she did GREAT!!!
