• #AD Currently enjoying my @FreakFlagOrganics Coconut Chicken Bone Broth! It’s COLD in Chicago and bone broth for sipping is a must. It warms me up from the inside out. I am LOVING these tasty broths — AND all three flavors are available in the prepared soup section at @WholeFoods Market nationwide. They are 100% USDA Certified Organic, gluten free, and SUPER versatile. Use them for sipping, simmering or souping! How do you stay warm on these winter days? #FreakFlagOrganics

  • I have run past The Bean (Cloudgate) COUNTLESS times. ☁️ I've NEVER even looked at it from this perspective, until this week. I was running up the stairs in the park, looked up and it took my breath away. 🏃‍♀️ How can something I've seen over and over and over, throw a different angle at me? 📐 This is your reminder to look at things another way. Perspective is everything. What is making you think this week? 🤔

  • The deep freeze is OFFICIALLY HERE 🥶 Once it gets below 10 degrees, I need to think about what I put on to go for a run. Here are some of my quick tips: 🏃‍♀️ 👉🏼 Layers are your friend. A good base layer and a wind breaking jacket goes a LONG way to keeping you going in the cold. 👉🏼 Shoes. I run in shoes with Gore-Tex uppers. The less mesh the better. Dry feet = Happy feet. 👉🏼 Dress like it's 20 degrees warmer. Yes, that first step out the door is cold BUT that's a good thing. If you are warm first thing, you are overdressed. You'll warm up once your body gets going. 👉🏼 Warm up before you head outside. Anything to get the blood flowing is the goal. Planks, run up and down the stairs. Just get moving. 👉🏼 Check the wind. If it's windy, make sure you end with the wind at your back. 👉🏼 Change out of your running clothes after you run. If you're driving to your run, pack dry clothes. I am never colder than right after I run. Don't pressure yourself. If you want to get your workout done inside, go for it. Outside...get after it. Everyone gets a virtual high five for getting it done! ✋ PS. Wanted to thank @geefitonline for these fabulous leggings! They are local Chicago, so be sure to check them out!

  • By my calculations, we got about 15 inches of snow in Chicago over the weekend. ❄️ I get a lot of questions about running in the snow, and I'm happy to share. 1) Do you wear anything on your shoes like YakTrax? 🏃‍♀️ I do not. Mainly because in the city, you'll have 2 blocks of ice and snow, then one block of pavement. If I was only on snow and Ice, I would wear them. They look fantastic! 2) Do you ever skip outside and run on a treadmill? 🧊 I would if I had access to a treadmill. I think they are a great option to have. For me, I just soldier on in my never ending battle with Mother Nature. 3) Is there such a thing as too cold to run? 🥶 Nope. I have not yet met the weather I won't run in. I layer up, sometimes even break out my ski gear and I get out there! Flip through my gallery of my run today, and feel free to ask any questions. I'll answer if I can. Did you get snow in your neck of the woods? ☃️

  • "It feels so GOOD to be ALIVE!" ❤️ I enjoyed my workout SO much this morning. Not lying when I say, I woke up like it was Christmas 🎄 and jumped out of bed. What makes you dive out of bed in the morning? DO MORE OF THAT! 😍

  • "I do love how Tom Cruise runs in movies. You know he goes faster because he karate chops the air." 🏃‍♀️ This may be my favorite running TV moment 🤣 #cougartown I did my FIRST outdoor run with the @onepeleton app. YOWZA, interval training is HARD. 😱 It was super fun though. I was running at an 8 out of 10 at the end and I am SURE I was Tom Cruise running! Have you tried something new in 2021? Let me know what it is👇

  • Coffee is something I use as a reward for myself after my run. 🏃‍♀️ I LITERALLY look forward to my cup of butter coffee while I'm on the path. Get home and get my coffee on! ☕️ I've heard runners enjoy their cup BEFORE their run. Um...this does not process in my brain. I need time to savor every drop. 😍 What say you coffee BEFORE or AFTER your run? 🤔 *I made two graphics, color and b/w. Feel free to swipe and share. Where my coffee drinking runners at?

  • If 2020 has given me anything, it's perspective. This year has brought to light what I DO and DO NOT want to bring into 2021. I'm taking stock of what matters. I'll be running into the new year and one thing I'm dropping is the words "I'm not fast..." Whenever anyone asks me about my pace, I always lead with "I'm not fast ..." and then the rest of whatever the sentence is. I'm not doing that anymore. If I've earned anything, it's confidence in what I can do. Your turn. What are you leaving in 2020 and what are you bringing into 2021? #morningrunner #runchi #getoutside #freshair #runtheworld #happyholidays #fitafter40 #instarunners #december #keepmovingforward #womensrunningcommunity #runninginto2021 #terez @terez #happynewyear

  • LEGIT froze my tail off on my @santahustle half marathon this morning. 🎅 My biggest mistake? I couldn't find my thermal lined leggings ... SO I just ran in regular leggings. 🥶 By mile 3, in 14 degree weather, I couldn't feel my legs. UGH 🏃‍♀️ Now I'm sitting in my Christmas flannel PJ's sipping some hot coffee #bliss ☕️ Wishing ALL of you a Merry Christmas! 🎄 #santahustlevirtual #santahustle #santahustleraceseries #runchicago #coldrunning #virtualhalfmarathon #instarunners #runnersofinstagram #frozenfingers #bling #racebling #instamedal #chicagorunners #medaladdict #chicagorunning #runformedals #instamedals @santahustle
