Typically, fall is the season I CRAVE running. Cooler weather. Beautiful colors. And the past few years? A fall marathon. A big goal to reach for.
.
.
The past few weeks, my running game has been amiss. I've been skipping runs left and right. Shortening runs. Avoiding running in the dark. Avoiding the cold snap MN has been experiencing. Avoiding signing up for races. Feeling major FOMO watching so many friends run that fall marathon. So many friends crushing their goals while I struggled with the fear of coming back from an injury. All while I struggled to deal with how monotonous my runs have seemed lately. .
.
But, I hadn't told a soul. I kept it all bottled inside, willing it to go away. Because, I'm the girl that LOVES running. The girl that finds joy in the miles. Who am I if I don't wanna get out there and pound the pavement? .
.
Today, it came to a head. Frustrations I've been feeling at work. At home. Things I've let simmer deep down. And, instead of finding clarity through my runs, I let it effect my running. .
.
Over the past few years as a health and wellness coach, I've told my clients again and again. Sometimes you've got to reach out. Sometimes you're just gotta do the hard sh*t. You've got to focus on the end game.
.
.
So, after a chat with my running coach and my husband, I laced up my shoes. I decided to see where my heart was when I was out there. I gave myself a route that made it possible to cut my run short if my head still wasn't in it. .
.
Thankfully, the crisp air and fall colors did the trick. I focused on the joy. I let the tears flow when they needed to. I put one foot in front of another and kept going. .
.
The point? Sometimes you need to feel all the feels. Something you've loved forever may be a struggle. But fighting those feelings alone can only get you so far. So reach out. Whether it's a health and wellness coach. A running coach. A friend. Reach out. Cry the tears. Take a bit of a break if you need to. But don't give up on yourself. Keep fighting. Keep moving. And keep searching for that joy.

Day 29 of #100daysofselfcare ran home from yoga through one of my favourite spots on the Great Trail. 29 days of self care has taught me that it’s more than a checklist or one or two things I do for myself each day that will make a difference. It’s a shift in attitude about how I value my time, my body and my spirit. It’s cultivating a practice that is centred around checking in with myself before I get pulled into the needs of the outside world. An inner practice. #innerworld #traumainformedyoga #metime #checkin #solorun

Had my first double digit run, in quite sometime, over the weekend. Ran from the house to the Courthouse, a loop of the square, and back home. Hit up the Greenway trail, and had the clouds cool me off a little about the time I was by the track. Was a good run, felt great, and is going to be a good start to building back up to higher mileage months. #optoutside #longrun #run #downtown #courthouse #downtownprescott #runprescott #iruntheseroads #greenwaytrail #solorun #runrunrun #instarunners #runnersofinstagram #weekendrun #overcast #rainyday #naz
Monday run. Crippled by gas 💩😣. Was planning a normal recovery/warmup run but had to deal with pain related to digestion. It's okay though because this week I'm tapering down for the run on Saturday which will be mostly mountain trail with 2000 feet of elevation and a distance of 13.7 miles. Ideally the stomach and digestive track are clear and uninhibited before a run, but that's not always the case. I recommend going to bed on an empty stomach when you have a morning run. Though you may have a better solution if you eat something light that's easy on the digestion. #run #running #runner #runners #solorun

My weekends are generally spent doing two things - running and hanging with my family 🏃🏻♀️👨👩👧👧 I’ve been really focusing on putting my phone away and just trying to enjoy both without the distractions of social media 📱 👀 On Saturday I logged my training miles with the @ozrunningclub in the freezing rain 🌧 👟 and on Sunday spent time with my 7 year old daughter teaching her how to use the “big girl” camera 📷 This is a pic she snapped while messing around. - Like running, it’s something that interests her because mommy does it 💕 While she’s not quite ready for her own camera yet, she does have plenty of running shoes 😉 and hopefully will be ready for a “big girl” race soon!

#longrun #sundayrunday #solorun 4 runs this week for a total of 23 miles not too shabby. I ran 4 miles out only to turn around and find I had to run 4 miles back into the wind. It’s a little cool and misty out there but I’ll take it. #fallweather
Be inspired. Be you. Be all. Be one. #onelove❤️
Sunday morning run! Feeling amazing Felt so sluggish this morning But rather then contemplating or making excuses on why I shouldn't go I just got dressed and did it! Being in the fitness industry...I, myself also have sliggish, lazy, not so strong/fast days But I also have amazing days...stronger, faster days I put aside all my chores and house duties and just went That's all it takes! Don't even think about it Just GO! So if you are feeling set back, sluggish, lazy, tired...trust me, 30 minutes makes the world of a difference I came back extra happy Dancing walking into the house Especially when the last song as you finish your run is your fav song!... had to do another round on our street to listen to the whole song 😂😂💪 Happy Sunday!
How gorgeous is this view?! 7 miles followed by more wineries tours. Happy Sunday everyone! 😃 . . #run #runner #upstate #oisellevolée #runnersofthewild #ovid #girlstrip #solorun #view #sundayrunday #runthenwine
No idea what route I was going to take, but I went out on my own, after bailing out of this morning’s club run, and ran enough to get my weekly miles to 15. Soaked right through.

7 miles for this chilly Friday night. Funny how 2 nights ago, my run sucked, everything hurt, and I walked a bunch. Tonight, I ran, focused on the change in weather, and trying to embrace the beauty and solitude I find as I run. It wasn't without pain, though I rarely expect to run completely pain-free anymore. I ain't getting any younger, you know? This was one of those good runs. An easy feeling run so good, I had to keep running. Yes, the bad runs do define us, because it makes us appreciate the good ones so much more! 😀 . . #runnergirl #nuunbassador #hshive #runmuskegon #runmkg #fitover50 #runningmotivation #michiganrunner #determinedaf #justgorun #running #motherrunner #runthistown #fundayrunday #solorun #goals #runnersworld #runyourassoff #beabecki
