Seriously, could you people come up with longer picture titles?
Apparently I like Dyxie and RunStrong very much.
Nothing new there.
In fact, it is no secret that I love you all.
Boys compete in a race during an event organized by the Emergency Response Action Committees in Grenada. They were cheered "Run like Kirani" by the crowd, in reference to Kirani James a gold medal Olympic Athlete from Gooyave, Grenada. A role model that has inspired many.

Glad my runner's feet aren't in too bad a state right now, unlike @ultraboyruns ! Will need to trim my nails before Beachy Head marathon though

rundeedeerun: I think you have the best runner's feet that I have ever seen!
squibbvicious: I am actually jealous of these!!! My feet are still a mess from the London Marathon! Have lost 4 toe nails (finally) this month!!
iamkatruns: @rundeedeerun thanks! I have been lucky so far....toes crossed it stays that way!
iamkatruns: @squibbvicious ouch! It's crazy they have taken that long to die!
ultraboyruns: How do you achieve this miss lovely toes? I'm like mister manky toes in comparison!
iamkatruns: @ultraboyruns I am not sure but the Gurney Goo stopped the blisters on my arch reappearing!
A gentle start to the day, an hour of yoga and a homemade pumpkin spice latte...all before 7am #yoga #yogaeverydamnday #runstrong #coffeetime

stephaniemuzzall: Oooo nice leggings
iamkatruns: Thanks Stephanie! They're my Fabletics pick for this month 👍 they arrived yesterday and feel great for yogaing in 😄. How are things with you?
stephaniemuzzall: Ooo how do you feel about fabletics? Lots of my friends had bad experiences. I am okay. On the mend :) congrats on Sunday
iamkatruns: I haven't had any issues with them but I haven't tried to leave. I have been using them for over a year and just make sure that if I don't want something that month that I just log in and click the "skip month" button. I was very clear on the Ts&Cs when I signed up though. I do think a lot of people do sign up thinking ooooh 100quids worth of stuff for 40quid without reading about the 6 month commitment.
iamkatruns: Quality-wise they are good though 😄
iamkatruns: And yay for mending !
stephaniemuzzall: Totally agree! I like that it's a bit different to what else is only the market. So bored of Nike and adidas!
iamkatruns: Exactly! There's normally a really good mix of stuff and they do some really fun patterns
About six years ago, I weighed at least 50 lbs more than I do now. I say at least, because I stopped weighing myself at about 225.
I couldn't change my eating habits, so about four years ago, I took up running. Took it up as in, ran to the end of the block before beginning to gasp for air. I probably logged a total of ½ mile running/walking that day.
The next time I ran a little further. Eventually, I built up to where I could run for over two hours without stopping.
Eventually, I thought I'd try to run faster. I hit the track. Started logging the miles, recording split times, etc. Nothing. 9-10 minutes per mile, whether I was running a 5k or a half-marathon. I felt like maybe this shouldn't be my thing. Then, one day, I just decided I was going to "run strong". Not worry about my times. Just go. Push through the moments I wanted to stop. Keep going. Now, I really don't care if I run 2 miles or 5 in a run. I just go.
I got the tattoo a couple years ago to remind me to run strong, no matter what I do. I might not be the best, the fastest, the whatever-est. But I will be strong. And I've been happy with "me" ever since.
6, 50, 225, 4, 2, 9-10, 5k, 13.1, 2, 5. If I'd only known, it was numberwang! Thanks, FuGgeRs.
Needed a new selfie for an intro slide at work....me, not running

christofofofof: Were you at least bottom half lycra and running shoes to maintain the premise?
iamkatruns: For once not....jeans though. I have been known to do conference calls whilst in my kit though .....it's all about balance
fightingthemuffintop: Super cool
A great start to my day, 30 mins of yoga & now a pumpkin spice latte! So stoked @codenamerunner managed to work out this spice mix, it's spot on!

2/3/08 Day 177 / 365
Project 365
Photo also done for Flickr Group Roulette group theme for 2/3/08 Sexy Pants
So for this FGR challange, you are supposed to sport your "sexy" pajama pants.... well, these are my pajama pants....I live in these quite a bit, especially in the winter.... they are about 2 sizes too big and sooo comfy. Paired with a tank top, I guess you could get them somewhere in the zone of "sexy," but not on their merit alone, me thinks.... he he he....now..... my other "sexy pajama pants" would be my string bikini underwear.... more the summer version of the "pajama pant"..... and I just don't think I am up for showing THAT one... sorry FGR pals... (nor do I really think ya wanna see that one)....
....so, yep, you get the safe, wimpy version, for now.... a Runstrong (or Clem or Mikey.....) I am not, I suppose.... at least not yet :-)
Panama City, FL
Running isn't about weightloss for me.....which is lucky given the amount of cake there seems to be at races! It has certainly toned me up though, I weigh about the same in both photos but in a year I am certainly looking fitter!

It takes a lot to cast a reflection on our dark hardwood, but the new running shoes do! Woo hoo!
...and the mantra tattoo makes its real debut on 365.
Well it's official, the Marathon Maniacs' website has been updated and my iridium status is confirmed! I suppose that means I really need to get a blog post live tomorrow 😄👍

iamkatruns: Just realised the website is still buggy so the maths isn't right but it's definitely 12 marathons/ultras and iridium for me!
Went out for my first run since we were in Arizona (think end of June). Really sad. I only ran a couple miles and my lungs hurt, I had a stitch in my side, and I could actually feel my butt cheeks bouncing as I ran. Part of me can't wait for summer so that my time isn't occupied by vacations, weekend excursions, softball, and working late.
New blog post now live (link in profile)

mrsteamwalsh: Awesome. I think I may join you!! 😊😊
iamkatruns: @mrsteamwalsh you should! It's a great way to have fun and be a bit fitness focused. Some of the "exercise" gets a bit creative at times though.....12 reps of shopping bags from car etc.
Pre-work workouts done for #Janathon day 6. Yoga and strength to kick-start the day and unknot work tensions #yoga #yogaeverydamnday #yogaforrunning #yoogaia #runstrong #runlong #marathonmaniac #thisgirlcan #loverunning
