📷 @run_like_shell Making the most of my snow day! This little over the river and through the woods trot got me a few miles closer to #2019milesin2019 . #runcolorado #runeveryday #runfortheviews #runtrinidad (at Trinidad, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6OVA7mAbvC/?igshid=1kd6khao3r290

I finally got out on the trails today to look for bluebells in the woods. I'm still struggling with a few niggles post-ultra, but the weather was so beautiful today that I just had to go long! . . . . #bluebells #wythamwoods #woods #perfectspringday #englishcountryside #oxfordrunning #oxford #longrun #longdistancerunner #runfortheview #runtoexplore #landscape #landscapephotography #sundaylongrun #ultrarunning #green #treelovers #spring #getoutside #sunshine #nature #naturelovers (at Wytham Woods)

I don't run much during the dreary Washington winters, but when the sun starts to come out in the spring I can't help it- I have to get outside! I admit that being a seasonal runner is not the best for my year round conditioning, but I just hate going outside and running in the winter. It just pierces my lungs and my throat with the cold air and my muscles just feel so much achier after. I wonder if the authors of the Huff Post article have observed these weird things too, or if I'm just crazy.

Ran 7 miles in 80 degree weather. Havent posted a run lately because I've been feeling horrible about them. But I was glad this is one I actually accomplished my plan for. Listened to a Mfm podcast that was only 2 minutes short for the run. Love hearing about murders in the wild while running in the wild. ; ) #runfortheviews #running

Didn't do all eight Sunday, but glad I made it out for six. Getting real spoiled by this spring weather. #runfortheviews #halfmarathontraining

You may notice this as the profile photo of my blog, but it is the viewpoint from the top of my favorite run! it takes about 5 miles to get up there, so by the end of the run, I’m pretty gassed and sometimes I get a runners high after it. Now I totally agree with the Endurancemag article on running, but for most of the runs I do now, all I think about is just the things that are going on in my life and that is when I can sort all of those things out, and the author didn't really discuss this much. Now resiliency and motivation are big parts of running, but for me, being able to be alone with yourself is also quite valuable to me. People that run with headphones in blasting music don't really get a chance to experience that, so I wonder if people who do that, gain less mentally from their runs.
