This race was especially meaningful to me because it was my return to marathon racing after a long battle with COVID. I had no idea what to expect or what my body was going to give me that day.
I ended up running a 3:24:52, my 12th Boston qualifier, and one of my fastest marathons and most well executed and evenly paced. At 48!
Previously had run, 3:13, 3:20... in 2021.
Looking back at this recap now, three years later, hits a little differently. Especially with everything I’ve been through physically over the past year.
Running has a way of humbling you. One year you’re running paces that feel effortless, and another year you’re just grateful to get through a few miles feeling good.
And Chicago was also the race that taught me never to trust GPS in a major city! 😂 My watch recorded 27.38 miles. I’ve manually lapped my watch at mile markers ever since.
(Turn off auto lap and manually lap your watch)
Sharing my original race recap above because it’s fun to look back and remember those moments.
Good luck to everyone running Chicago tomorrow! Enjoy every mile, soak up those crowds, and don’t forget to look around. It’s an incredible experience! ❤️

It’s not a comeback. I’m still slow, and it’s definitely not easy lol. But today was another small win, and right now, I’ll take every single one of them. ❤️
Progress is progress, no matter how small. One day at a time. 🏃♀️
Good luck to everyone running ❤️💙!

The last several months have been a LOT of trial and error—medications, hormones, fatigue, nerve issues, pain, injections, and trying to figure out why I’ve felt like I have absolutely no gas in the tank.
After making some medication changes recently, it’s starting to look like something I had been taking for about six months may have been contributing to that complete lack of energy. I’m currently off ADHD medication altogether while we sort things out, and today I actually feel like myself again.
And on the pain front, I’m cautiously optimistic about the injections too. I’m definitely not in as much pain right now, so I’m taking that as another win. 🤞
Being a woman over 50 has been an adventure I was NOT prepared for. 😂 Perimenopause/menopause, hormones, energy changes, random nerve issues, things hurting that never used to hurt… it can be incredibly frustrating, especially when you know your body and know something just isn’t right.
But I think the biggest lesson for me has been to keep asking questions and keep trying to get to the root of what’s going on instead of just accepting that this is how I’m supposed to feel now.
I know one good day doesn’t mean everything is magically fixed, it's usually one step forward five steps back 🫠. But today feels like a small win. And after the last several months, I’m going to celebrate the small wins. ❤️

Nothing groundbreaking pace-wise, but I felt better today than I have in a really long time, so I’ll take it!
Saw my primary today and we’re making another adjustment — after 4 days off Vyvanse, I’m going back to Adderall and we’ll see what happens. She is also still adjusting hormones. The leg/glute pain is still hanging around, so back to sports med Tuesday for that.
Also, huge shoutout to my NP who has been absolutely amazing. I was seeing her a couple of years ago. And then she left the practice. But now she's back. Thank the lord!! She looks at the WHOLE picture instead of treating every little thing separately — hormones, ADHD meds, fatigue, all of it. Having one person actually connect the dots and manage everything is such a relief. I finally feel hopeful 🙌🏻. Too many cooks in the kitchen was definitely not helping. 😂
If you’re local and looking for someone like that, message me and I’m happy to send you her info.
Anyway… today felt good. ❤️🏃♀️

Safe travels to everyone heading to Berlin, have the BEST time — and whatever you do, don’t let this happen to you 26.1 miles into the race. 😂💀
Apparently making it all the way through the Berlin Marathon wasn’t enough. I also had to survive the final stretch. 😂
Sound ON for my very eloquent live commentary: “OW! OW! OW!” 🔊🤣
Moral of the story: Don’t let anyone take you down at the finish line. Literally.
Good luck to everyone racing this weekend! Go get that 🏅 ❤️💛🖤

I LOVE the running community. 🏃♀️❤️ But there’s also a toxic side of the female running world that doesn’t get talked about enough, IMO
The cliques. The gossip. The screenshots. The “Did you see what she posted? I think she’s talking about you…” behavior.
I experienced that side of running years ago, and it was incredibly hurtful. So when something happened this week that felt VERY familiar, it got me thinking.
I made a general running “hot take” about something I see ALL THE TIME. I named nobody, used nobody’s times and called nobody out. Apparently it’s not exactly groundbreaking either 😂 — come to find out, there’s an entire Instagram page dedicated to basically the same topic with almost 50,000 followers 🤯
Yet someone took my post, sent it to a woman I don’t follow or interact with much, and suggested I was talking about her.
She messaged me and asked.
And honestly? She isn’t the part that bothers me. It’s the messenger.
What was the purpose? 🤷🏼♀️ There was no conflict between us. We weren’t even interacting. And once we talked, we basically AGREED about the original topic. 😂
So what was accomplished other than creating an issue where there wasn’t one?
I’m 51. 😂 I have zero interest in this kind of dynamic. Running is competitive enough. Women don’t need to compete socially, too.
Support each other. Celebrate each other. And maybe the next time someone says, “I think she’s talking about you…” ask yourself why they’re so invested in creating a problem.
I'm curious, have any of you ladies ever experienced the cliques, gossip or mean-girl side of the running community?
And to my anonymous messenger, if you’re reading this…
Unlike the post you passed along, this one actually WAS inspired by you.
Congratulations. 😉😂

Your chip time is your chip time.
I keep seeing runners — and yes, even coaches — finish a race and immediately explain why their “real” time was faster.
“My watch measured the course long.”
“But my Strava moving time was…”
“I ran the tangents.”
“My Garmin says I hit the distance earlier.”
Unless there was an actual verified problem with the course measurement, can we please stop? 😬🤦🏼♀️
A properly measured course follows the shortest possible legal route. Your GPS watch does not. Even if you try to run perfect tangents, you aren’t going to reproduce the exact measurement line — and GPS itself isn’t perfectly accurate.
So if your watch says you ran farther than the official race distance, you don’t get to subtract the “extra” distance and declare yourself a faster race time.
And moving time is not race time.
If you stop, walk, slow down enough for auto-pause, tie your shoe, get water, whatever — the race clock is still running. Strava may make those minutes disappear from your moving time. The finish-line clock doesn’t.
Weather counts. Hills count. Bad tangents count. Stops count. Having an off day counts.
That’s racing.
I’ve had races I’m proud of and races where the clock showed something I absolutely did NOT want to see😂 🙈But that number is still mine.
Your chip time isn’t an insult. It’s information.
It tells you where you were that day. You don’t need to make it prettier for Instagram or Strava.
Because when we constantly edit the story until every run and every race looks better than it actually was 🎀, we’re not fooling the race clock.
And the only person you’re really lying to is yourself.
Eventually, race day tells the truth.
Own the result. Learn from it. And if you wanted a different number?
Go earn it at the next one. 🔥🏃♀️
So… hot take or common sense? 🤷🏼♀️ Your chip time is your chip time. Agree or disagree?

Randi West has run 23 marathons and counting — but this conversation wasn't really about the miles. It was about staying in your own lane. Randi shared how she's learned to listen to her body instead of comparing herself to other runners, how she processes disappointment and setbacks without letting them define her, and why she makes a point to celebrate her small wins along the way. Through it all — the aches, the doubt, the grief — she just keeps showing up, consistent and hardworking, mile after mile.

Three weeks out, I had a hip injection for bursitis that slowed me down. But nothing could have prepared me for what happened just two days before my flight—
I fell. Hard. Ended up with stitches in my face, a swollen jaw, and couldn’t even bring my back teeth together. Eating was tough. Running felt impossible.
But I got on that plane anyway. Because opportunities like this don’t come twice. And I’m so glad I did. Sydney was the trip of a lifetime—pain and all. I came home with lifelong friends and memories I’ll never forget.
💫 And just two weeks later? I ran the Berlin Marathon. Stay tuned.

Put one foot in front of the other. Repeat.
Begin at the beginning. Finish at the end.
And for the most part, whatever you “deposit” in training you get to “cash out” on race day.
Run Randi Run’s training cycle for this marathon, however, was a bit different for her because she made a conscious decision to make larger and more frequent deposits than ever before.
In the 12 weeks leading up to the race she AVERAGED 75.3 miles a week, kicking that off with a 105.4 mile week over the New Year.
She incorporated doubles several times most weeks, most of them in the 9:00-9:30/mile range, which it turns out was about 1:30-2:00/per mile slower than her eventual marathon pace (i.e., very easy).
And while she did a handful of races and time trials in 2020, we honestly had no real idea where to set her goal at the START of the cycle.
She just started putting one foot in front of the other. And she began at the beginning.
Realistically we thought breaking 3:20:00 would be an awesome goal, as her official PR before today was 3:28:24. (Note: She time trialed a 3:21:37 in September.)
But as we started incorporating workouts, it became evident how much interest those “deposits” were already earning, so we recalibrated to 3:15:00 after a few weeks.
She then shocked herself with a 13.1 mile time trial (1:29:51) in late February. In which she also set unofficial 5k (20:24) and 10k (41:42) PRs.
We then felt 3:10:00 was realistic on a great day and a fast course. But this was guess work, and the race itself would prove to be the real barometer.
Much like in training, this morning we began at the beginning. We put one foot in front of the other. We followed our instincts moreso than our watches. We let the race unfold.
The receipt in the picture shows the “ending balance.”
3:13:53.
A time neither of us thought possible just over 12 weeks ago when this process started.
Sometimes running seems very complex. And other times, very simple. Make a lot of deposits in training, cash out on race day.”
