The Rainbow Bridge says that when we leave this world, the pets we loved greet us again. I hope Kristin found her sweet Fëanor waiting — young, bright, and running straight into her arms. 💛🌈 🐾 Lately 🍂 9 weeks of corporate travel since June, and probably one more to go before the year is up. Loving lazy days ☕️ 📺 🐱 🛋️ 5.5 miles in total today (split AM/PM). Long run tomorrow 🏃🏻‍♀️ Two sessions today Evening treadmill run Quick evening run on the treadmill After-work run…a little later than usual Upper body lifting class tonight after work 💼 Half marathon 66 at the @rundisney Halloween Half last weekend. 90% humidity at the start line 🥵 I went out a bit too hard at the beginning because I was trying to give myself enough of a lead ahead of the balloon ladies. By the time I got to California Adventure I felt pretty rough…wobbly in the legs, not quite seeing stars but pretty close. I kept a close eye on my electrolytes and slowed down a bit. Worst case scenario I could always call it early, but I really wanted to finish. Always a close call but I made it to the 7pm lift class 🤗 Pre-dinner run…on a weekday…while traveling for work. Small wins. Miles for hope. Tomorrow’s half supports @stillirun and @afspnational, and honors my mom’s memory. 💙 Every step is part of my fundraising to help prevent suicide and remind others they’re not alone. Finally made it to a strength training class after 3 missed classes 🏋🏻‍♀️ now I’ll miss 3 more until I’m back from my work trip and half marathon. I did order a yoga mat tonight. My gym has some not-hot-but-warm stretching classes on weekends that I hope to attend more often!
