Daily ramblings from a liberal lover of reading, running, and traveling. Just finished a year of exploring the country with my family, via 42’ fifth wheel. Now just figuring out our new life in the PNW ❤️

Super proud of my recent half! Was shooting for 2:20, and exceeded my goal! Runna has been a game changer this go around. My last half was in ‘23 & I finished in 2:50, so this was a huge jump. My new goal is 1:55 by March 7 to surpass my 2015 PR!

Today’s run was rough. I didn’t get sleep last night due to taking my runner pup Tilly to the ER over a dog attack. I started my run late, & everything just felt wrong. There will be days like today, but putting to the universe my half will be better!

Successful first rainy run since moving to Washington in April. Hit my goals so I’m pleased! Tilly’s longest run to date and she is still showing no signs of needing to back off the long runs 🐾

Next time someone on the right claims all the political violence in this country is coming from the left, not the right, do please show them this.

This run felt like such a fail. I started out too fast, and halfway I just slowly gave up from there. I was shooting for a 5k PR and just couldn’t get it. Focusing on getting stronger every day, and this is not a setback it’s a learning experience.

This explains it better than I can

Dave Portnoy tweet saying ‘absolutely disgusting and disturbing video from Charlie Kirk shooting today. Hoping for the best for him and his family. Anybody who is happy about this is a disgusting human.’

Pop Crave Tweet: ‘Barstool Sports CEO Dave Portnoy says he hopes a missile hits Greta Thunberg’s boat as she sails away with aid: “I hope they hit a f*cking, like, a missile on her boat. Knock that boat down. Greta or whatever her name is”

Super proud of my run today! I was worried about keeping up with some of the paces on such a long run, but I killed it. I even PRd my 10k and 15k! The last 2 miles were tough, but it’s done and I’m happy with the results. Happy weekend!

23/63 National Parks Visited
Mount Rainier National Park is definitely one of my new favorites! The wildflowers against that huge mountain felt like we were in another country. We will definitely be back because one day just isn’t enough!

Yesss! I have this on hold through my library and can’t wait to get my hands on it

Brittney LaHayne @brittneylahayne.bsky.social · Aug 30

This one didn’t feel as easy as last weeks 9mi, but it was still fine. With family in town I’ve been focusing less on my routine, so I know why this one felt rough. The good news is that it’s done, and it wasn’t the worst run I’ve had, so I’ll take it!

Wonderful anniversary weekend visiting Olympic National Park! It was a hot one, but we enjoyed all the beautiful views Washington has to offer 🏔️
13 years married and 19 years together and we still love adventuring together ❤️

Just as good as the first book! I can’t wait to keep going to see what happens next since they always seem to leave off on a cliffhanger.

I’ve never had a long run feel so good! It was one of those runs that I felt like I could just keep going. Ran the whole way which hasn’t happened on a while for such a long run. This training plan has really helped me grow as a runner!

Super proud of my interval run this morning! Hit all my marks and although tired, I was still feeling good at the end!
