The Pursuit of Running

#whatsbeautiful is taking the time to slow it down and enjoy the beauty that’s around you. Took the pupperoni for a nice hour long walk through the neighbourhood and trails. Glute/back are still achey, so taking the day as it comes. #IWILL train hard, but also honor my body. Training isn’t always hardcore, it includes the mellow stuff too, slowly but surely learning that lesson. Loved spending this morning with my pup, will #getafterit later :) #uawomen #fitness #run #walk#move #summer #recover #tiuspringfever #bikiniseries #pup#dog#pets#bestfriend#morning#betruetoyou #nofilter #nature#summer

#geese#cute#nature#birds geese were Nonno’s thing, and the cemetery was FULL of them today. They were marching along in a line, it was too cute.

#nofilter#run#runner#runchat#instarun#fitness#nature#beauty#sun#life#bliss a shot from my trail run this morning, loved stopping to appreciate the beauty of nature and the sunshine. Today is just gorgeous, not even the strong winds could take away from how beautiful it was to be outside!

My absolute favorite picture from my run yesterday. This has become the spot I look forward to reaching on the trail, it’s just breath taking. Getting super anxious for the Detroit Free Press Half Marathon this Sunday, praying all the training pays off and that my first half goes off without a hitch. Need to make a new playlist (song suggestions welcome!) still and figure out what to eat pre/post race. All I know for sure is that a Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte better be waiting for me when I cross the finish!

5.5 mile easy run this morning. This happened, among other cool nature things! Took tons of pictures, will post tomorrow or Friday. Off to stretch and foam roll!
