How is everyone supposed to see my new tattoo if all my workout clothes are racerback? 🤦 First week using the @trainerroad training plan and I've logged four hours including the ramp test 💪. Such a huge jump from the time I put in the saddle this time into training last year. Feeling pretty good about my potential improvement this year!!! Thank you, @ironmom.in.training for always finding the best things out there and not keeping them to yourself ❤️ 106 days until Eagleman and 183 to Maine....plenty of time to get myself completely half iron ready! . . #shutuplegs #im703eagleman #im703maine #im703 #halfironmantraining #halfirontraining #halftraining #tritraining #triathlete #triathlon #humansoftriathlon #cyclinglife #triathlon #tri #swimbikerun #bike #biking #fromwhereiride #lifebehindbars #trilife #trilikeagirl #trichicks #womenscycling #womenfortri #trainhard #tattoo #backtattoo #dreamcatcherIf there was no selfie, did it even happen? 😭 I never forget to take selfies, but today's swim workout was pretty difficult...I guess I was just glad to be done and heading home to have some coffee! . . #swimbikerun #swim #swimmer #swimming #mermaidlife #alwaysbeamermaid #chlorineismyperfume #instaswimmer #trichicks #coffee #trimomsarebadass #trimom #trilikeagirl #womenfortri #womenwhotri #triathlon #im703eagleman #im703maine #halfironmantraining #triathlete #tritraining #triathlontraining #trilife #selfieoritdidnthappen #humansoftriathlon #triathlonworldAte hills for my birthday breakfast and then, in birthday tradition, had a short run with my son! 33 is looking pretty auspicious! . . #runnersworld #worlderunners #runrunrun #richmondroadrunners #richmondready #runrichmond #halfironmantraining #halfmarathontraining #halftraining #irun #ilovetorun #iloverunning #ilove2run #sweatpink #monitorthebeat #halfmarathon #run #runner #birthday #birthdayrun #birthdayrunning #runningterritory #runningYou know it's going to be a good birthday when you come back from a great birthday run to find out you've been featured on @humansoftriathlon 😍 #Repost @humansoftriathlon (@get_repost) ・・・ I had been a smoker for almost 10 years before I finally quit. I wanted to take back my health not only for me but also to be a good example to my kids. A couple of weeks in, I was struggling. Then, the Boston Marathon bombing happened. I had never been a runner, but I found myself heartbroken for all of those victims. I wanted to run for them because they wanted to and couldn't. So I started running. I had always been lean, so I was completely unaware of just how unhealthy and out of shape I really was. But, I kept at it, and soon I had completed my first half marathon! After a couple of years of running, I signed up for my first Triathlon. I had been a swimmer growing up, so it only made sense that I would bring it back at some point. I did the same all women's Triathlon three years in a row before I got the confidence to think about entering a co-ed race. As I was signing up for that, my friend convinced me to do a half distance Triathlon, and by that time, I was hooked! My family met me at the finish line and could not have looked prouder. I already have two 70.3 races on the schedule for this year (Eagleman and Maine, woo!) I’m healthier than ever and never felt better. I’m a solid mid-packer, but I do the work and move the needle. Even my kids have started running and have done a Triathlon, so I know my big lifestyle change has benefitted us all. We are officially one of those families who do turkey trots on Thanksgiving, and I wouldn't trade it for the world. ~ Rainey Niklawski [@alwaysraineyday] . Thank you for sharing your story with us, Rainey! Keep Tri'ing! 🏊🚴🏃 #ordinarypeopleextraordinarypassionLaser sharp focus! Today I did my first "real" @trainerroad ride for my training program! I'm so excited to be started, hopefully I can really improve my biking this year! I was supposed to swim today, but when I walked out the door at 445am it was sleeting so hard that I didn't want to risk driving anywhere. . . #swimbikerun #triathlete #triathleteproblems #triathlon #triathlonworld #triathlontraining #tritraining #trihard #3athlontraining #3athlonlife #trilife #trilikeagirl #trainhard #dothework #fitnessjourney #cyclinglife #bocogear #bocogearambassador #inknburn #garmin #strava #trainerroad #trainerride #shutuplegsThinking about doing speed work this morning after last night's ramp test may have been kind of a pipe dream...but, got some good easy-ish miles in around the track. Wasn't trying to press my luck 🤣😂. It's supposed to snow tonight, wonder what the odds are that I will be able to swim in the morning? 🤔 . . #run #runners #running #speedwork #trackday #trackwork #runnersproblems #runnerproblems #runnersofinstagram #runlikeagirl #runitfast #runnerslife #time2run #inspiringwomenrunners #instarunners #womensrunningcommunity #runningcommunity #womenrunning #irunthisbody #runnerscommunity #runtoinspire #igrunners #runhappy #happyrunner #reachbeyond
