Trail Run to Edward's Point


I'm finally getting around to getting my pictures off of my camera. Last weekend I went to visit my best friend. She and I went trail running. Considering I'm a road runner, trail running was very different for me. It was awesome though to finally get to run with my best friend again! I had missed it so much. After about 2.5 miles or so, this was our view.



Beautiful isn't it! It was well worth the steep inclines to see this! Of course going in was easier than coming back out. My legs were screaming, but it was a beautiful run.

Later that evening we went for a 2 mile hike out to Rainbow Lake. It too was beautiful.



I really enjoyed my time with my best friend and her family! I miss her so much. It is because of her that I started running and have continued running today.

There is barely a run that goes by that sometime during that run that I don't think of her.

  2. Wow, how nice! I've never had someone to run with on a regular basis, let alone someone I am close to. I imagine it would enhance the experience very much!

    Beautiful photos & thanks for sharing, makes me want to get out and appreciate this scenery more before we move at the end of the month.

Self Care Is Not Selfish It's Necessary

It's not selfish to take care of yourself. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. And I'll say it just one more time in case you didn't hear me. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. I have found through experience that when I'm not taking care of myself, not only do I suffer but my family suffers. So ditch the mom guilt and take the time that you need! I have a tendency to keep pushing my needs aside until I reach a breaking point. We've had a very busy fun summer so far. However, I've struggled to get some quality ' me ' time to decompress. I'll spare you the meltdown that ensued. But the reality check that followed prompted me to take action.

Running My Life

Wow, has it really been 2 years since my last post? I suppose that I allowed life to get in the way. For any faithful blog readers, I apologize. Although, I'm not sure how many people actually read blogs anymore. I think most people use other social media platforms.  (By the way, drop by and say hi on Insta. )  But for some reason, each year when I pay for my google domain, I can't seem to let it go. As silly as it sounds, this little space is mine. And lately I've been struggling with ownership and acceptance. And my domain renewal was a not so gentle reminder that I have a voice .  Seriously, you'd think by 48 that I'd have this figured out - nope - apparently not. However, I am wise enough to know that we have a choice to allow situations to harms us or make us stronger. I'm choosing to let this mid-life quandary make me stronger. And because of this, I'm setting goals, taking charge, and reexamining priorities.  Movin' on... 

When The Planner In You Must Be Flexible

In case you haven’t figured this out by now, I’m a planner. I know - shocker right?!? :) So although I love substitute teaching, it’s making the planner in me anxious. And it’s been reeking havoc on my workouts. Basically the morning of or maybe the night before, I find out if I’m working. So my day ( that I thought I had planned ) can be turned upside down in an instant. But, truthfully, isn’t that really the same with everyone?
