Feelin’ bold runnin’ in the gold ✨

nothing is more empowering and secure-feeling than running with a group of badass, kind, uplifting women that you love.

time trial day!

i wish more runners understood how individual running is for every person. i know runners who go straight back to training the day after a half marathon, but i needed a full week off before trying an easy run. some runners do double run days, i typically only run 4 days a week. some thrive off of using fruits and veggies as their main source of carbs, but that leaves me hungry and unsatisfied. 

running is a personal and intimate sport. it’s not meant to be the same for everyone. comparison fuels dread and unreasonable expectations. 

honour your own needs. self-trust fuels joy and unrelenting passion. 

THIS

please make sure that wherever you’re at in life, you don’t treat it like a transitory period. don’t waste your college years wishing to already be graduated & have a job. don’t waste your single years wishing for someone to be in love with. if/when those things come, they will come in due time and they will be good. but there is nothing like looking back and feeling empty because you wasted literal years ignoring what you had because you were hoping for something better. while it’s important to better yourself and reach for your goals, don’t neglect the present because that’s where you are now and it’s your now that determines your future. 

Lucky to have @wanderlustrunnerr as a friend and running buddy. 💕🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️Here’s to the start of summer weather (kinda?) and killin lots of miles and vert together.

Also I’m sorry I didn’t see this until NOW??

It’s also still winter, in case anyone was wondering 😊🙃
