Told you that I should have brought my pom poms

Vanessa @readrunrepeat.bsky.social · 5d

Thank you. I did. It was a lot of fun. Trail running is happy running

Thank you

Medal (or, rather, podium) Monday. Age division place at a trail 10k. Run buddy was nice enough to preview the course with me beforehand. So, I didn’t get lost and I didn’t fall down. Fall running has officially kicked off.

Thank you. A speedy friend of mine took this one. Not only are they fast but I can count on them for nice finisher photos. lol!

Not quite the fast/flat course I was expecting. Three decent climbs spread throughout the course made this one a challenge. Spent the rest of the day on a bourbon inspired pin crawl with my run buddy (who was nice enough to navigate us to each stop)

When you run a half marathon in Kentucky you have to pet a horse when it’s all over. PS I was on a bourbon crawl 🙂. An excellent post race activity. lol.

Do not feel silly. A good running coach knows that your goals are important and can show you a better way to achieve them. Some people need a bit of outside assistance. You’re doing something for you. That’s great. Good luck with it all.

I use the same word everyday. I thought everyone did it that way.

4 mile morning. Fool’s fall is officially over. I can see the air again. Back to the humid southern summer for a few more weeks. Did see a friend this morning though.

Thank you. Getting to spend several days outside, walking trails, connecting with nature does a lot to remind me that the world can be a beautiful place.

Vanessa @readrunrepeat.bsky.social · Aug 28

Thank you. I ran it last weekend and, despite a few hiccups, had a good time.

It was lovely. The best part about doing half marathons is getting to see amazing places.

It was one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. Core memory unlocked for sure.

A day of exploring before the half marathon. Wasn’t going to see much of Blackwater Falls State Park during the race. It started at midnight. So, made the most of the sunshine during the day

Views from this weekend’s half marathon. It all didn’t go quite to plan but the location was beautiful. I could have stayed up here all day.

I remember when my two were tiny and it was hard to make the time to get my runs in. Having little ones is challenging at times.

Get up. Get moving.

Always keep a weather eye on the horizon.

I have loved seeing those two bright spots every morning during my runs.
