A Live Blog - A Morning in the Life of a Runner


It is currently 8:30 AM… I am doing a live blog today. With 9 days to go, I have begun tapering. Today, I wanted to give a detailed description on what my day will look like. From what I do to prepare for my run, to what I do post run.
·      Please support me next Sunday, November 3rd for my first marathon and thank you for following my journey!


10:15 AM: I just out of the shower and after I finish my runs I sit down with a cup of coffee to relax before starting my day. Friday’s have always been a good day for me to run because I have a lot of free time on this day. I plan to run again on Sunday and then run a very short distance next week.

9:58 AM: I just got back home from the run! I completed it in 1 hour and 9 minutes. I am very happy with that time. It was starting to get really hot on my run, so I am happy I am done.

8:43 AM: I am outside and ready to take on an 8-mile run ahead. I am planning on running through downtown and then taking a loop through Davis Island. I like running 8 miles because it doesn’t feel too long, or to short. I will write again once I am finished!


8:40 AM: I have finished applying Vaseline, so I will not chafe on my run and have attached a belt around my waist to make it easier to switch my music during my runs.

8:36 AM: A month or so ago, I began to get irritated on my runs because I would have to refill my water bottle so often, and or would get dehydrated. I found a solution by using Liquid IV packs. A single pack is equivalent to four glasses of water, so I am able to run longer without feeling like I need to fill up my water. Right now, I have filled up my bottle and am almost ready to start my run.

8:32 AM: I have just finished getting changed for my run. Since it is always really warm in Tampa, I usually just jog in shorts and a sports bra. Today, is no different.
