Will Run For Chocolate Milk

- Mel

It’s no secret in my circles that I love chocolate milk. Sunday morning, I ran a Chocolate Milk Chug Mile (very on brand for me) — AND I PR’D MY MILE RACE! I don’t share too much anymore about my running (and my associated running struggles), but wanted to share this celebrious event. Today was a great day for a run in Iowa!

🥛🍫 WILL RUN FOR CHOCOLATE MILK (and hot chocolate) 🍫🥛 This morning I participated in the Hot Chocolate Race’s Chocolate Milk Chug Mile (because, duh 💁🏻‍♀️). Mile runs are HARD. But chocolate milk is awesome. I had to double-check my Athlinks account afterward to even check what my one mile PR was… AND I FREAKING PR’D IT TODAY. My previous one mile PR was from the Liberty Mile in Pittsburgh in 2015 (I ran 8:10). Today, I finished in 7:37. Holy crap! 😱😱😱 Totally unexpected start to the day. And then I went to Browns Woods for two loops with my fellow 🦃🦃🦃 #willrunforchocolatemilk #builtwithchocolatemilk #iprdtoday #runiowa #trailrunning #chugandrun #capitalstridersturkeys #100milechallenge #100stridersmiles
