Still running! 🏃🏼‍♀️🖤 We’ve had some great weather lately and I’ve been able to run later some days to switch things up (aka: wake up and have a little food), which makes me and my body happy. #run #runnergirl… https://t.co/7ql7Qll6Md

[Kristine Torkelson @PinkCupcakeRuns]

What a beautiful morning! Went to bed thinking I’d wake up to storms, but the sun was shining bright and temps were cool. 👍🏻🏃🏼‍♀️ #run #morningrun #runnergirl #runhappy #lovetorun #justrun #runningismytherapy… https://t.co/cwHFxkfXCS

Forcing a smile. 😬 I am in a running funk. I just don’t want to run and I’m not enjoying the miles. ☹️ #run #runnergirl #runminnesota #runminneapolis #justrun #optoutside #morningrun #fitlife https://t.co/JOTh3MYxRl

Always a gorgeous view on my morning run. #run #morningrun #runnergirl #runminnesota #runminneapolis #lovetorun #justrun #runhappy #runningismytherapy #optoutside #minnesota https://t.co/EwPToND7nE

I’m alive, I promise! I’m honestly just bored taking post run selfies. Yes, I run almost daily, not sure anyone cares. So here’s a photo of olivethetinymorkie and me. ❤️ #Morkie #morkiepuppy #runnernotrunning… https://t.co/sUGJjkrNqV

This adorable little puppy is 3 months old today. He’s still tiny, but full of chaos and destruction. 😂🤦🏼‍♀️ He’s a joy to have in my life despite of that and am so happy to have found him. ❤️ olivethetinymorkie… https://t.co/zBZqzmCIdu

[Kristine Torkelson @PinkCupcakeRuns]

Saw this on my run this morning. 🖤 What can you let go of? For me, right now, it’s worrying about what other people think of me, what I’m doing, wearing, etc. #run #asseenonmyrun #runnergirl #runminneapolis… https://t.co/Zz696I8GgQ

[Kristine Torkelson @PinkCupcakeRuns]

I had a difficult time getting going this morning, but the weather was perfect so once I got out the door and warmed up, I enjoyed the miles. 😁🏃🏼‍♀️ #run #morningrun #runnergirl #lovetorun #runhappy #runminnesota… https://t.co/ipIfOMSTPn

Monday miles = Monday smiles. 🏃🏼‍♀️😁 #run #morningrun #runnergirl #runningismytherapy #runminnesota #runminneapolis #lovetorun #justrun #runhappy #optoutside #fitlife https://t.co/dksAiyS8q1

Today, thankfully, is the last day of antibiotics! I’m hoping to start having my energy back once they get through my system. Grateful for the healing (and being able to eat!), but hate how they make me feel overall.… https://t.co/bPsmVbk05H

[Kristine Torkelson @PinkCupcakeRuns]

Hot afternoon walk. Okay, I walked, Olive got tired. But he’s getting better on a leash so hopefully longer walks soon! #runnernotrunning #walk #morkie #puppylove #ilovemydog #dogsofinstagram #puppiesofinstagram… https://t.co/Wlyq7dGwAK

[Kristine Torkelson @PinkCupcakeRuns]

I am finally starting to feel better!! 👏🏻 Last night was the first night I didn’t wake up in pain and my jaw is almost back to normal. Now I’m just fighting the exhaustion from the antibiotic, but this run felt good.… https://t.co/d0OwpzHSJb

[Kristine Torkelson @PinkCupcakeRuns]

In case you’re not following olivethetinymorkie (and why not?!), he’s getting a little bigger, but sticks are still bigger! #morkie #newpuppy #dogsofinstagram #ilovemydog #puppylove #puppiesofinstagram #cutepuppy… https://t.co/Qkz9FUZHZj

[Kristine Torkelson @PinkCupcakeRuns]

This infection is wearing on me and although I ran, it definitely wasn’t the workout it was supposed to be. 😬 On a happier note, I snuck olivethetinymorkie into the office this morning! 🐶❤️ I wanted to make… https://t.co/pirYO220TT

[Kristine Torkelson @PinkCupcakeRuns]

Sunrise miles in shorts + long sleeves! After a week of heat advisories, this 57 degrees felt amazing. I’m starting to feel a bit better although my jaw is still swollen, but I’m down to just 2 ibuprofen every 4-5… https://t.co/FH8EtNvjHw

[Kristine Torkelson @PinkCupcakeRuns]

I’ve been MIA this week due to dealing with a super bad infection in my mouth. Swipe to the next photo to see how bad I swelled up. I look as if I have a tennis ball in my mouth and this wasn’t even the worst of it!… https://t.co/O3QaC1LQMv

[Kristine Torkelson @PinkCupcakeRuns]

@runnergirlrva I sent you a DM! :)

[Kristine Torkelson @PinkCupcakeRuns]

I’m dealing with a few health issues this week and yesterday was a forced day off, but I got back out there this morning for 5 super easy miles. I didn’t want to push it after yesterday, plus with high humidity and… https://t.co/o1KAd9R5dq

[Kristine Torkelson @PinkCupcakeRuns]

@runnergirlrva Thank you! 🥰 I decided to go pixie short again! So much easier to style in the morning.

[Kristine Torkelson @PinkCupcakeRuns]

I did run this morning. It wasn’t great with it already being hot and humid, but it also wasn’t the worst! But I was grossly sweaty so enjoy this picture of Olive and me instead. 🐶💚😉
