Took the lungs out for another spin on the trails Took the lungs out for another spin on the trails this morning. Felt good to be back at my happy place, Knob Hills! Ran with a new friend @runningforacrown and took our sweet grandma time! 👵🏼🐢😆 This comeback game is ROUGH, y’all! 😅
First trail run in 4 weeks! Not exactly my usual 1 First trail run in 4 weeks! Not exactly my usual 10/11 pace but most importantly I got back out there to begin the process of rebuilding! It felt good to be back on the dirt and in the woods, like reuniting with an old friend. ❤️ Strangely, I think trail running will always remind me of 2020 and all of the emotions it entailed. Even 4 weeks felt like an eternity away from my favorite form of therapy. We sold our house, bought a new one, survived Snowvid, came down with Bronchitis, moved, unpacked, all while working, momming, and simply existing under the weight of still another heavy year. To say today’s run was much needed was an understatement. I’m tired but it felt good to remind my body and mind of what a gift running is.
Adam and I both got back in the saddle yesterday a Adam and I both got back in the saddle yesterday after about a month off from running. It was def painful for both of us 🤣 WHY does it take so long to get IN shape and like two seconds to lose it. 😑
Hey runner franndss! 👏 Sooo we bought a new hou Hey runner franndss! 👏 Sooo we bought a new house! Hence our absence from all things fitness. (And a bout of Bronchitis that kicked my butt TBH!) We’ve been hunkering down recovering from our move, and slowly but surely unpacking box by box. We LOVE our new home, and feel so, so dang lucky. It’s everything we wanted and have been dreaming about for years. The yard is seriously magical and we can’t wait to dig into lots of fun projects, both inside and out. Just popping in to say, “Hi! We are still alive and are very much missing the trails right now!! And feeling v out of shape. 😆”
First mile back after bronchitis. Only my third ru First mile back after bronchitis. Only my third run in three weeks. It definitely didn’t feel good but I NEEDED the stress relief! Overwhelmed with work, momming, and moving and the sunshine today couldn’t have been more timely! ☀️🙌 Super frustrated at how out of shape I feel now, but I know it will come back soon. (Read: not soon enough) 😭
I’ll never know if this snowy run is what kicked I’ll never know if this snowy run is what kicked my cold over the edge and gave me bronchitis. But, here we are! 😫 Currently craving blue skies and a warm long run, but some extra downtime in bed hasn’t been too bad! 😉 I can already tell the comeback is going to be rough - bronchitis is no joke!
Finally caved and went out for a short and slow sn Finally caved and went out for a short and slow snowy run around the neighborhood! Trail shoes helped immensely but it was still pretty slick and choppy. Took me about a quarter mile on the sidewalk running through 4” of soft snow to realize tire tracks in the road were a much better option! 😆🙌 I never thought I’d see the day that I’d actually enjoy the views along these streets! ❄️ Get outside, y’all! Too pretty to pass up.
I didn’t gain a single pound in the past year. ( I didn’t gain a single pound in the past year. (Hey oooo trail running!) But 3 days into a snow storm and I’m pretty sure I’ve gained 5 and I’m about to lose my dang mind to cabin fever! 🤣🤪 Anyone else in full hibernation mode?! I finally had the brilliant idea to pull in some of my gym equipment from the garage and do a workout in the warmth of the bedroom instead! 45 minutes of nonstop movement catching up on Bach. Not too shabby! 💪🌹 Y’all don’t laugh when I’m still sore in a week.
