Showing off my @stonebridgerunning shirt and my @hennepin100 hat while on the trails! Gorgeous day for trails! Franklin Creek trails are looking pretty good minus a few spots.

This makes me happy! My 5K times have been drastically slower and I've been working on improving that. I blame long distance running and my pure laziness on that. So...I've been using what I've learned from my UESCA training to work on speed work and strength. This time is slow to many but to me, this is progress! I'll take it with a big fat grateful smile. #progressnotperfection #workforit #keepatit . . . . . . . . #run #trailrunninglife #runningadventure #runningaddict #ultramarathon #runningaround #trailrunners #ultrarunners #ultrarunner #ornerymuleracing #run4fun #trailrunner #runnerscommunity #runningday #runningcommunity #runningculture #squirrelsnutbutter #ultrarunnerlife #running #runaddict #runnerlife #runners #ultrarunning #runner #trailrunning #runningjourney #runnergirl https://www.instagram.com/p/COu_eU4nYQr/?igshid=1es7afj8ozmo6

Eight beautiful miles today. One rattlesnake, thankfully his time had come and gone. Staying on schedule. #hundredmiletraining Storms arriving, running up in air next few days with weather and traveling. . . . . . . . . #squirrelsnutbutter #runners #runningadventure #runner #runningaround #running #trailrunner #runnersofthewild #ultrarunning #runnerscommunity #ultrarunners #trailrunninglife #ornerymuleracing #run #runningjourney #runningaddict #runningculture #runnerlife #runnergirl #trailrunning #run4fun #ultramarathon #runaddict #ultrarunner #ultrarunnerlife #runningday #runningcommunity #trailrunners https://www.instagram.com/p/COYKJo2HT-b/?igshid=t9ociwv2u7ul

5.5 miles with my friend @nanny_on_the_run this morning. We did do some running but our desire to chat won. Some walking, some running and some sprints. Welcome back warm temps!

Next up, get my hands dirty in the garden.

Some time in the woods is what I needed today. . . . . . . . #runnergirl #ultrarunner #ornerymuleracing #runningaround #run #runners #squirrelsnutbutter #ultramarathon #runningday #ultrarunnerlife #runningjourney #ultrarunning #trailrunner #trailrunninglife #runningaddict #runningculture #running #runningadventure #trailrunning #run4fun #ultrarunners #runningcommunity #runnerlife #runnerscommunity #runnersofthewild #runner #runaddict #trailrunners https://www.instagram.com/p/COBDpVtHeWR/?igshid=1mocdf00dfi6p

Why do I run? Why do you run? What started this amazing journey? 🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️ Picture it…. summer of 2012 I’m jealous of someone posting about all their running. My daughter challenges me. She says, instead of wishing you could do something, go do it. ❤️❤️ Moment you realize you may have done some good upbringing.❤️❤️❤️ At that time, its been 3 years since my last brain surgery and I’m sick of being treated like fragile glass. I want to be strong. Couch 2 5K Program is how I started. I couldn’t run a mile at first. I cried tears of joy first time I ran 3 miles Then Tears of joy after my first half marathon My first Marathon first 50k First 50 Miler And first 100 miler So many happy tears. Like Forest Gump, I just kept running. Over the span of 9 years, I’ve ran many different races, locations and had my fair share of injuries. All of these things have been great learning experiences. 🏃🏼‍♀️ But now I ask myself? Where’s the next big challenge? What’s next? I figure I’ll know it when I see it. I have my crew all picked out. Just waiting on that next big goal Life is a journey, make it a good one. . . . . . . #runnerlife #ultrarunners #runningadventure #trailrunners #runningday #run #runningcommunity #runnergirl #runningaround #trailrunner #runningaddict #runner #ultrarunnerlife #squirrelsnutbutter #run4fun #trailrunninglife #runningculture #runnersofthewild #ornerymuleracing #ultrarunner #runaddict #runningjourney #ultramarathon #ultrarunning #trailrunning #running #runners #runnerscommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/CN870TanCF_/?igshid=hzqkmg69ff0n

"It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is most adaptable to change."~Darwin After surviving a winter of running, it's time to switch gears and get used to this humid and warmer air and keep moving forward. Back to back runs to complete my training long run for week. 23 miles in the books. 🏃🏼‍♀️ Today's run was hot. I've missed summer, don't get me wrong. Just need to adjust running in these warmer temps. . . . . . . . . #runnerlife #running #runnergirl #ultrarunners #runners #run4fun #trailrunninglife #runningaround #runningadventure #squirrelsnutbutter #trailrunner #runningcommunity #runningaddict #runner #ultrarunning #runningculture #ultramarathon #trailrunning #trailrunners #runaddict #runnersofthewild #ornerymuleracing #run #runningday #runningjourney #ultrarunner #ultrarunnerlife #runnerscommunity (at Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPG6s3oHzTz/?utm_medium=tumblr

Today's mileage didn't go as planned. It's like my body's check engine light came on. Things just weren't all working together as they should. Got 5 miles in and called it. Guess what? 💩 Happens! Move on. Still got to enjoy this view. Still had my Sunday "service" in nature! Still a good run! . . . . . . . . . #ultrarunning #running #runningjourney #trailrunners #runners #runaddict #runningaddict #runningaround #run4fun #ultrarunnerlife #runnersofthewild #runner #runnergirl #trailrunning #runningadventure #runningday #run #runnerscommunity #ultrarunner #trailrunner #squirrelsnutbutter #runningcommunity #ultrarunners #runnerlife #ornerymuleracing #ultramarathon #runningculture #trailrunninglife (at Meadows Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CO77oAynvGS/?igshid=b19y5szt76so

14 miles today practicing run/walk ratio I want to use for hundred. It was an uneventful run and sometimes that's a good thing. Weird going from 80s to 40s in temps. Last week's southern runs were much different. #hundredmiletraining . . . . . . . #runningculture #runningday #trailrunner #runningcommunity #runningadventure #run #runningjourney #runnerlife #ultrarunning #ultrarunnerlife #runnerscommunity #runaddict #runner #trailrunninglife #ultrarunner #runningaddict #run4fun #ultrarunners #ultramarathon #runnersofthewild #running #runningaround #trailrunning #trailrunners #runners #ornerymuleracing #squirrelsnutbutter #runnergirl https://www.instagram.com/p/COjHEbGHANC/?igshid=1q9b5uwkydowa
