It’s been a weird summer, guys. Did get in a fourth run this week. Goal was five per the half marathon training plan, but I’ll get it next week! #runsky

Did it tired. It’s early in this block to be questioning everything. But I’ve got this. #runsky

Busy couple of days. But kicked off half training yesterday. Glad to be back on a plan! And super excited to read my new book. 💙 #runsky

Not quite- but I do plan to draw inspiration from a lot of horror material in my burlesque. I 🖤 Bela Lugosi!!

Shouldn’t hurt the neck if you do it right! All your weight distributes to the hands, shoulders, upper arms. But I’m definitely gonna have bruised shoulders. 😅

Spent the weekend camping at the drive-in watching monster movies and last night spent over an hour working on inversions for #burlesque gonna TRY to get some runs in this week, but promise to start half-marathon training next week!

Last week was my birthday. between that and chasing a promotion the past few months- which I got effective 8/1- haven’t had as much time/energy for my physical pursuits. I’ve missed you all and will try to get back to posting more often! Last night I got out for a nice rainy run after work :)

Hello #runsky friends! Other than a summer 5-race 5k series I haven’t been racing lately. I’ve been running very casually since I’m not training for anything until a half marathon in November. But I’m alive and well- still lifting pretty consistently and took up #burlesque ~7 weeks ago.

Great start to the week with a little 3-miler at dawn. Trying to shake off the rust again. #runsky

I’ve been wanting to get back into dancing for awhile for and luckily there are #burlesque classes in my city. Learned my first routine at a workshop tonight and it was SO much fun. Can we call this cross training? What do you think, #runsky ?

Didn’t make it out this morning like I hoped so I stayed inside this afternoon. Wooo heat advisory. #runsky

Strength training today. Bracing myself for some very hot runs the next few days. #runsky

Never sweat so copiously but the breathing was easier than I expected. Must be acclimating to the heat! 77°F (25°C) with 82% humidity. #runsky

That said, I do like the minimum weekly mileage goal. I think I’d like to be averaging 30 miles a week so that the next time I start marathon training I’m already halfway there, if that makes sense? But also for my mental health I need to run five days a week anyway. 🤣

Heather 🏳️‍🌈 @hljackson.bsky.social · 24/06/2026
I really like the quote in this post. I feel like even when my training program wasn’t super strict I was strict in my adherence to it, if that makes sense. Currently I’m not following a plan, but I’m running the same days I did on my last plan with a similar distance pattern 🤣

Heather 🏳️‍🌈 @hljackson.bsky.social · 23/06/2026
Happy little lunch run today. For most of the 2.5 years I’ve been running I’ve been following a training plan. I’m starting to love the freedom of not training. Choosing routes and distances on the fly. Just focusing on form and splits right now. ✌🏻 #runsky

Yesterday was my longest run since the half marathon I raced at the beginning of May. Beautiful sunny morning, 335 ft elevation gain, near perfect splits and felt great. #runsky

Hit the track this morning for 800m repeats. Haven’t done intervals in a long time but felt good! Looking forward to a long run tomorrow. #runsky

Fear not, #runsky friends. Neglected to post but I did run this week. Slowly building mileage back up and feeling good despite high heat and humidity. Gonna show off last night’s dinner and today’s breakfast while I’m at it 💁🏻‍♀️

Muggy 5k last night to keep me humble. Lots of strength work and sweaty but short, easier effort runs lately. Finally finding a flow with the belly breathing and it does seem to help with the warmer weather adaptation. Holy alliterations. Happy Friday! 😅 #runsky

Well said. I’m not too hard on myself about what’s in the rear view. Definitely on an upward trend these days, all around. 😌

If we look at my sexual history there’s definitely no accounting for taste. I like to think my palate for food is slightly more elevated, but tonight was definitely a cheat/comfort meal I’ve just been hankering for lately. 😅

Accountant by day. Runner whenever I can. Lifter most evenings. And tonight, a destroyer of fried chicken. It’s all about balance. 😅 #runsky

Thank you!! Let’s get it! 💪🏻 My ex husband told me I’d never have abs and I believed it too. He may never know he was wrong, but I will.

Heather 🏳️‍🌈 @hljackson.bsky.social · 30/05/2026
Went all out today with a run, a dog walk, and an ab workout before making lunch! Lazing ever since. 😅 This will be the year I get visible abs, guys, I swear!!! 😤 #runsky

Short run yesterday and another three miler this morning. Embracing not being on a plan right now and just listening to my body. Doesn’t hurt getting to housesit and run near a beautiful college campus. #runsky

easy three miles this morning. arrived at the difficult decision of deferring my marathon registration to next spring. not sure if I will do one this year or not now, but there just wasn’t any choice after losing so much stamina in the past few weeks. #runsky

It’s been many years since I did choral singing but that’s a great suggestion!
