So many summertime vibes this weekend, swimming, floating the Willamette and grilling hot dogs. Feeling so grateful for all of it.

Summer of trail races continues with today’s 13.2 almost 2900 ft. of elevation gain sufferfest run to the top of Hoodoo. Lots of sandy forest roads and big hills I had to hike, including the final mile up to the top of Hoodoo. But, I felt strong, despite the slow pace, and then got to swim, float and soak in gorgeous Scout Lake. And clear skies! All in all, 10/10 day. #trailrunning #runoregon #optoutside #runlikeagirl #sportsbrasquad

There is always time to stop a trail run and stare in wonder of the light filtering though the moss and leaves. #runcorvallis

Sometimes training for races makes me get in my head about what I “should” do or “have to do” for runs instead of just running because I truly want to. This morning I was tired and probably would have gone back to bed if I hadn’t already made plans to meet a friend to run. And so we ran, and I was no longer sleepy; instead I felt more alive, as we talked about running and not about running. And then we smiled as we took in a solitary lovely view of our quiet town from the top of Dimple Hill. Running is hard but it can also be the best part of the day. #findjoy #nikerunclub #everyrunhasapurpose #visitcorvallis #trailrunning
