✨MRC Weekly Schedule + Tality RC Extension + BARBIE Theme Run 🎀
WHOA - we have a LOT coming up!!!
✨ Ok so, I’ve never really trained for something before…
Sure, I’ve run plenty. Raced a couple of times. But this is the first time I’ve followed a structured plan. Watching the weeks tick by on the calendar, seeing workouts line up, testing what my body and mind can handle, and showing up again the next day, no matter how I feel…
It’s humbling LOL. It’s also really cool.
I’ve been learning that motivation is nice, but it doesn’t carry you the whole way. Some days I’m excited to get out the door. Other days, I’d rather do anything else… especially when it’s sunny and the beach is calling, or when my legs are sore in ways they haven’t been before and I just want to be horizontal. But even on those days, I’ve found a different gear: the quiet discipline of showing up because I said I would.💥
It’s wild what happens when you stack those days on top of each other! ✨
Right now, I’m six weeks out from my race, which feels scary and exciting. But more than anything, it’s been fun to see how much I can do when I commit to something fully and how much farther (literally!) I can push myself when I trust the process, even when it’s uncomfortable.
💥Obviously, it helps that I get to see so many of you three to four days a week now, with how many run clubs we’ve expanded to. Whenever I get into a conversation with any of you, I leave so inspired by the goals you’re chasing—or the goals you’ve just crushed. It helps keep me motivated and on track, and I’m so grateful for that.
✨This community is really good at holding accountability for ourselves and for each other. So, thank you!!!! I’m looking forward to another week of runs, sweat, chats, and post-run hangs with all of you <3

📍MRC WEEKLY SCHEDULE
A quick note about Mondays Run Club for the rest of the summer:
As things heat up and our group keeps growing, we’re opting to meet in the park each week. We’ll have our Mondays tent, a speaker (of course), and bag drops available. We’re also always looking for volunteers to help watch belongings while we run! If you ever feel like lending a hand, just DM me on Instagram or reply to this email.
As summer kicks in, we always encourage you to stick around after the run to mingle and hang. We’ll be meeting closer to the seawall near Olympic Village so you can easily grab a cold drink afterward, or feel free to BYOB and hang in the park with us until the sun goes down.
Let’s keep making memories—even if we don’t have a physical space at the moment. (Don’t worry, mom’s working on it lol😏)
MRC x TALITY RUN CLUB 🧊
Big news: MRC x Tality is here to stay.
What started as a 10-week series has turned into something so much bigger. We’ve loved seeing our crew grow each week—regulars showing up, 20+ new faces joining, and the patio vibes are just unmatched.
We’re moving to Tuesday nights to give more flexibility (we heard you, cyclists + volleyball crew).
It’s electric. Come join the community, connect, and recover together!
🩷BARBIE THEME RUN🩷
If you’re familiar with Mondays, you know what’s coming…
And if you’re new here… get ready.
It’s Zoe’s birthday 🎀
Yes, Zoe… One of our fearless leaders and Barbie enthusiast! We celebrate her each year with an insane Barbie-themed run. Picture this: over 100 people dressed as their best version of Barbie, Ken, or whatever your Barbie-core heart desires, running along the seawall, and staying after for a massive party.
It’s happening July 21st.
💥We’re telling you now so you have time to plan your outfit and get deep into the Barbie vibe. Pink, blonde wigs, visors, rollerblades, cowboy Barbie, beach Ken—go all out!!!!💥
You heard it here first: July 21st. Barbie Run.
We’ll drop the meeting location soon, but start planning. It’s one of the best days of the summer!
See you tonight at Hinge Park! XO
