Summary
In 2019, after my third attempt to BQ, I stopped chasing my impossible dream to qualify for the Boston marathon after running 3 hours 42 minutes in the marathon. (Missing my BQ by 12 minutes). Well...BQ OR BUST take 4! But it all starts with spending the next 12-weeks training to break 2 hours in the half marathon. The Philly Half Marathon. It's peak weak and well...it went up in flames. Kinda like our democracy this week! Let's talk about week 11! From my race plan to how my taper is going, lots to unpack!

| 0:00.0 | Hi, everybody. Welcome to the Run Selfie Repeat podcast, where we talk about life with a side of running. |
| 0:06.0 | My name is Kelly Roberts, and I am your host. I'm also head coach and founder of the badass |
| 0:15.6 | lady gang. If you've never heard of the badass lady gang, or if you've never heard of me, |
| 0:20.2 | I am one of the first running influencers. |
| 0:23.6 | I got started in this horse and pony show in 2014. |
| 0:28.6 | It has been a decade, a decade that I've been running around with a camera in my face and dealing with people online telling me |
| 0:38.7 | that I'm a narcissist and a nightmare. Very few people, if I be on it, if I'm being honest. |
| 0:45.6 | Most people have been wonderful. And yeah, I'm an unlikely runner. I don't come from an athletic |
| 0:52.8 | background. I was a theater kid who grew up in an |
| 0:55.3 | athletic family, but really did not. I always call it like a very high school musical relationship to |

| 1:37.4 | until you go to college or become an adult and find intramural where it then becomes |
| 1:42.7 | fun again or the people who were put into this get a |
| 1:46.7 | college scholarship get a college scholarship be the best be the best kind of pipeline then have |
| 1:51.5 | to redefine their relationship with sport and movement because for a long time it's been |
