Back On The Trail

It's been awhile since I've been back on the trail. I'm still not 100% well from this virus thing that's really had me down (Out Of My Control). I had planned to get in a recovery road run, but the night before I had a horrible headache (still). Instead, I decided to push it off since it was pretty chilly out.

By afternoon, it was a beautiful fall day. I decided to go up to the Appalachian Trail for a relaxing recovery run.



A few steps into the run,
I felt my heart sigh. The trail really is such a different running experience (for me) than road running. I felt my entire body relax.

The weather at one point was sunny. The next moment the temps had dropped almost 20 degrees and it was sleeting/snowing. It was crazy and awesome! I loved it, although I wasn't dressed for it.

It was magical to see my first snow flakes this year while I was out on the trail.


If you haven't tried trail running, I do encourage you to give it a try.

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...

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.

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?
