26.2 MILES. MARINE CORPS MARATHON. I DID IT! 🏅

Today I crossed the finish line of the Marine Corps Marathon, and I want to share something that I hope encourages other women in their running and walking journeys.

You don’t have to run every step to be a strong runner. And you don’t have to be fast to accomplish big things!

As the founder of Hot Flash Run Club and a certified running coach, I talk a lot about training smarter, not just harder. Today was an opportunity to practice exactly what I preach!

Here’s what helped get me through 26.2 miles:

🔥 Run/walk intervals: Walking isn’t giving up. It’s a strategy! Planned walk breaks helped me manage fatigue and keep moving forward.

🔥 Smart pacing: It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement and start too fast. Running your own race and respecting your limits is so important.

🔥 Fueling: You can’t expect your body to keep going for hours without giving it the energy it needs. Having a fueling and hydration plan matters!

🔥 Mental toughness: A marathon isn’t just physical. There are moments when your mind has to remind your body why you started. Sometimes it’s about focusing on just getting to the next mile.

One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned through running is that being strong doesn’t always mean pushing harder. Sometimes it means being smart enough to adjust your plan.

And that’s exactly what I want every woman in Hot Flash Run Club to know.

Whether you’re walking your first mile, trying run/walk intervals, training for a 5K, or dreaming of a marathon, YOUR journey matters.

I’m proud of today’s finish, but I’m even more proud of the message behind it.

You don’t have to be the fastest. You just have to find what works for YOU. ❤️

💬 I’d love to know: What strategies have you found that work for YOU?

Another great Thursday night with Hot Flash Run Club!

We had a great turnout last night, and the fall weather made for another fun evening of movement, laughter, and connection!

🎉 Two more ladies earned their Hot Flash drawstring! We love seeing our ladies keep showing up!

And our conversation topic of the night? APPLES! 🍎😂

From caramel apple suckers and apple crumble to apple c***r and good old-fashioned apple pie, we discovered there are LOTS of delicious ways to enjoy fall!

That’s what Hot Flash Run Club is all about. We show up to move our bodies, but it’s the conversations, laughter, and friendships that keep us coming back. ❤️

Now we want to know…what’s YOUR favorite apple treat? 🍏 Drop it in the comments!

☀️🍁 Good morning and Happy Hump Day, ladies! 🔥

We’re halfway through the week, and there’s something about a beautiful fall sunrise that makes getting up and moving a little easier!

Whether you’re heading out for a run, enjoying a peaceful walk, or just trying to make it through the week without overheating 😆, remember that every little step counts!

No pressure. No judgment. Just keep moving forward at YOUR pace! 💕

🍂 Tell us, ladies! Are you a sunrise workout kind of gal, or do you prefer to wait until the sun (and your coffee) have had a chance to warm things up? ☕😂

A little rain wasn’t going to stop these Hot Flash Run Club ladies tonight!

We showed up, bundled up, got a little wet, and still managed to have plenty of smiles along the way!

That’s what I love about this group. It’s not about how fast you go or how far you run. It’s about showing up, moving our bodies, and enjoying the company of some pretty amazing women.

Rain or shine, we’ve got each other! 💪

Who else loves that feeling of accomplishment after getting out there when the weather isn’t exactly cooperating?

10/15/2026

It’s Thursday, and you know what that means!

Another happy Hot Flash Run Club night is here!

Whether you’re coming to walk, run, run/walk, catch up with friends, or meet someone new, there’s a place for YOU!

We’re all about movement, connection, confidence, and having a little fun along the way. No pressure. No judgment. Just women supporting women!

📍 Behind Vitale’s in Comstock Park (White Pine Trail)

⏰ Tonight at 6:00 PM

Just a little reminder that YOU’RE DOING GREAT!
