Aesthete Runner

I was reminded a few weeks ago that it has been five years since I ran my first race, which was a 5k. Something I wrote that day after the race really stuck with me: if you asked me 2 months ago if I thought I could run a 5k, my answer would have been no. yet here I am, and its amazing what you can accomplish when you put your mind to something and stick with it.

This is the last Trail Tuesday of the month, and it is finally started to look and feel like fall. This is my favorite time of year to run!

Two weeks until race day!!!! At times I felt like the weeks were going by really quickly, but now that we are so close to the marathon I don't think it can get here fast enough. While most runners using traditional training plans have already started their taper, Hansons still keeps you on your feet..literally.

This week I received my third..yes third..Oiselle Spandos Jane bra. I guess it is finally time to admit that I am a Spandos bra addict. My beauties

It sure doesn't feel like fall here yet, but I do love the sound of leaves crunching on the trail. This is the time of year I love running on the trails and seeing the transition from summer into fall.

This week should just be called perfectly imperfect, as nothing about it went according to plan. In hindsight, using my extra week last week to repeat week 14 would have been better used this week. Rather than pretending everything went according to plan, I embraced the fact that I made week 15 my own.

A day late, but I have had a lot going on the past few days which I will share in a future post. In the meantime, enjoy the trails and my close encounters with a few deer!
