Inspiration Thursday

Last week got skipped because I was off work Tuesday and Wednesday and both realized too late Thursday was in fact Thursday.. and also as mentioned yesterday, I didn't really care to sit and write much last week.

Where am I going with this? This week I am going to switch it up and a little last minute too because of  a message sent to me Wednesday afternoon over facebook chat on my personal account.


The irony was not lost on me, that just yesterday I posted this next quote-ism on my personal facebook page as well as the one I have for this blog


So I guess really the only thing I want to make sure everyone takes "home" with them is this- Whether you realize it or not.. want to or not.. you are probably inspiring others. We all take our own paths to fitness and leading a health lifestyle. Some started out being overweight, out of shape, and with lots of obstacles and challenges. Others of us may have kind of drifted in and out of shape over the years, but were never considered overweight. Either way, our stories are all inspiring, no how small they may be to us... someone else is out there looking to you to help them get out there.. lace up those shoes and get out the door. 

Don't take this for granted and certainly don't abuse it. 

You all inspire me.. and I hope (even though sometimes I don't blog as consistently as I would like) that I inspire you all too. What an amazing community I have stepped into and am ever so greatful. 

Happy Thursday fellow runners, fit friends, and amazing people.

Into the woods

 Every week since I updated the look here, I keep telling myself I will write. Somehow life (or sleep) gets in the way and I never sit down to get started on anything.  Early last week, Bryan suggested that we take our long run to the Appalachian Trail and of course I agreed immediately. He knows how much I love running trails, especially the AT, and even more so, starting at Boiling Springs. I have a history with the AT, so running there always feels a little like home when we are able to run there.  Some areas had a little snow Friday and it was evident that the trail was sprinkled with a tiny amount- just enough to feel slightly magical. It's been a super mild winter here in PA, so we get excited every time we see even a flurry of snow.  There was no shortage of fun little fan mushrooms so I could not resist the urge to stop for a few photo ops. It seemed like they were doing some cleanup after the frequent high winds we have had lately, so I did see some areas wi...

2017- a killer year for running

Image
Can you believe that we made it through 2017 and here we are at the start of a new year full of new goals and possibilities? 2017 was a mixed bag for me. Running-wise it was fantastic, but other things not so much at all. Looking back at all of the things I have accomplished and all of the miles I have tackled make me feel nothing short of amazing. Incredible. Strong. BADASS. I wanted to do a quick run down of all the races I did this year. I didn't blog on all of them but I thought it would be fun. I ended up doing 18- YES EIGHTEEN races this year ranging from 1 mile to 100k (62+ miles) with a total of 1540 miles which is my highest mileage yet. So here goes, you ready?? 1.  Squirelly Tail Twail Wun  - 2/26/17, time 2:26:34. This was a super sweet, muddy race. The temperature was cold but not frigid and I had a course PR. I had so much fun and it was a great first race of the year for me. I plan to back in 2018 for year 4. 2.  Chambersburg half - 3/11/17, tim...
