Thought I’d give myself some extra luck with the 13.13 miles for my long run this week. Lil coffee treat afterwards, of course!

Hiya glowers!

It’s been a minute since we had a challenge, so… let’s do a long run challenge! Run a 10k and above, post a photo of yourself, and make sure you post your stats too! Can’t wait to see all your lovely, sweaty, glowing selves. Long runs, extended challenge - this one will be Aug 10 - Aug 30.

Have fun out there 💛✨

Coffee cheers from your mods! Thanks to u/runcelery for the fun collab. We’ve loved seeing your coffee run photos so far (or other beverage) - keep sharing through this week! ✨💛

I cheated on Dunkin’ and it just wasn’t the same. I’m all the way done with storms and humidity this week and looking forward to running with more favorable weather this weekend!

Happy running, and don’t forget to check out our latest theme week!

💛✨

Survived the treadmill boredom! 😂

Fun news! We’re introducing Free for All Fridays - this is your day to post what you’re doing while you’re not running, cooling down, in your running outfit, etc. - doesn’t have to be running-related. Show us a taste of what you’re up to! SFW/NSFW is okay.

This is only on Fridays, and please use the appropriate FFA Friday flair. If it’s a spicy post, server rules still apply!

I’m getting my glow on in another way, let’s see what you’re up to.

Thanks to everyone who has completed this get to know you challenge so far! It’s been a lot of fun reading everyone’s and getting to know you all 💛

1. Do you prefer running solo or with others?
   Definitely solo, it’s my time to clear my head, listen to music, and get in the zone.

What do you listen to while running? If it’s music, what are your favorite songs/genres?
A mix of edm, dance pop, throwback emo/pop punk. Needs to have a fun, driving beat!

2. Would you rather run in dripping hot weather, or the bitter freezing cold?
   I reeeeally don’t like running in the freezing cold haha. I don’t mind the heat and some sweat! As long as I don’t feel like I’m going to pass out 😂

3. Morning or evening runner?
   Always mornings!

4. What’s your dream run location?
   Somewhere coastal with a view.

5. What’s your current running goal?
   Short-term is running my next HM, probably in July. Long-term, maybe my first marathon! Or, there have been quite a few people mentioning clothing-optional runs, maybe one of those or running on a nude beach? 😂

6. What’s the weirdest thing you’ve seen out on a run?
   I saw a woman recently that had the scariest clown makeup on for no reason… the worst part is I don’t know if it was on purpose or just REALLY bad makeup 💀

7. Why do you run?
   Running makes my brain feel better. It clears my head and puts me in a much better mood when I’m feeling pissed off or anxious. It also makes my body look and feel the best I’ve ever felt, so that’s pretty amazing too.

8. What are your favorite running shoes and/or outfit?
   Love my Hokas! I like a flowy pair of bright shorts, tank top, crew socks.

9. What sports and exercise do you enjoy besides running?
   I really enjoy hot yoga, long walks outdoors, and the occasional hike. Also love ocean swimming!

10. What’s your favorite thing to treat yourself to after a long run?
    Ice creaaaam. Or cold brew. Or a big cookie/muffin.

11. What’s one item that you just can’t run without?
    Run belt, watch, AirPods.

12. Tell us a funny running story.
    I saw a BIG snake across the sidewalk a couple of weeks ago while I was running, so I’m guessing whoever witnessed me jump out of the way at the last second probably thought it was pretty funny 😂
