For the first time in a while Moskey and I went for a run. Life has been overwhelming lately. I haven't had it in me to do anything other than walk 3 or 4 times a week.

The squeaky snow and 15°F and sunny weather called to me this afternoon. I didn't have to run, but I wanted to.

So glad I decided to take an extra day off today before traveling for Thanksgiving. Getting a few things taken care of but also, finding some time to rest before what will be a good, but long, weekend.

My general hiatus from Social Media has been extremely good for me. Trying to get back into posting without getting too sucked in is hard though.

Here's a picture of Moskey from our walk the other day. Orange is a must have for safety first during hunting season!

Haven't posted much recently. I took a huge step back from social media in Feb

I've learned a lot about myself and what kind of people I want to spend my time with. Having to actually reach out to people to catch up on their lives makes you realize when you've got people who are worth the effort 🥰

I realized I never posted after The Back 9. I ran 8 laps for 29.44 miles total!! It was definitely challenging, that little bit of uphill climb adds up after the 3rd or 4th lap 😆. Super proud of myself for trying something new and breaking my distance PR!!

Today's the day! Nervous, excited, a little bit sleepy.

Goal #1: Try my best & have fun.

Goal #2: 8 laps - 29.6 miles to break my marathon distance PR.

Stretch Goal: 9 laps - 33.3 miles.

20 days until the Back Nine Endurance Run and I'm still not running but I felt significantly better today! So, Moskey and I did an easy 1 mile hike and checked out a park one town over that we've never been to before!

23 days out from my 12hr race & I have a chest cold that has benched me. Ultra running friends, tips or suggestions on how to get thru what was supposed to be peak week when I can't walk a mile without getting winded?

Moskey on our rainy walk for attention.

PSA to runners, talk to your PCP about your running and any concerns you have with your training.

I struggled through Feb and especially Mar. I felt like I had hit a concrete wall in my training. I was feeling like my body just couldn't handle anymore training load...

I'm glad I did my long run on Friday morning. No running happening outside this weekend...

We have some hills, but overall it's pretty flat where I live. So, Sundays are for Z2 hill climbs at the Y and being the sweatiest kid I know.

I've been doing 1 interval run & run/walking 3-4 days strictly in zone 2 each week. 7 years of running at a range of paces & body sizes, Garmin has never been so kind & for the 1st time ever I ran a full mile in Z2.

63 days until the Back 9 Endurance run. #UltraRunning #UltraSky #Running #Garmin

The twinge in my knee was threatening to get worse. After a full rest day and a few doses of ibuprofen it's feeling better.

Made the decision to take a short break from running and get reacquainted with the bike gathering dust in my basement.

Yesterday was a slow zone 2 run. Which, for me means quite a bit of walking. It's tough but my knee is a little twingie from the added stress from running on the snow. So slowing it down.

Hoping for a good amount of melting over the next several days.

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State.

H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people.

And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...
USDA accidentally fired officials working on bird flu and is now trying to rehire them
An Agriculture Department spokesperson told NBC News that officials are "working to swiftly rectify the situation."

I've been meaning to do this for years and it really was super easy to do online. It took less than 10 minutes to create my accounts and freeze all three.

Yesterday afternoon was a brisk walk day and this morning early sprints at the gym. So glad to live in a place where I can enjoy the outdoors and to have Moskey to share it with 🥰🐕
