One of my Heroes #TheRunningWriter
This girl, right here…the one on the left in the tank top…
Her name is Tracy, and she’s freaking amazing. She’s one of the strongest women I’ve ever met. She just got a new kidney, like, a month ago.
She looks fantastic, doesn’t she?
To celebrate that new lease on life, we’re going to do something a little crazy…And yep, it involves bikes (aren’t we cute with our matching bikes?)
It also might involve a little swimming.
For sure some running….
Stay tuned for our adventures.

Tracy gets a new kidney today
Talk about true friendship… right here.
Surgery is WEDNESDAY March 4th…EARLY morning. If you’re the praying type, please send a few for Tracy and Courtney. Two fellow ultra runners, friends, trail sisters!
Surgery is scary, but faith, prayers, positive vibes are stronger. I’m just so thankful there’s someone who is willing to be a living donor for another human being. It’s inspiring and re-ignites my faith in humanity.
Soon, Tracy will be back to running some crazy events with a strong, new kidney. I’m looking forward to the crazy adventures we have planned. And one of them…super radical. Something I said I’d never do, so stay tuned…
Thanks for your prayers and positive thoughts, my friends.

Tailwind Black Friday Event
Anyone who knows me, knows I love Tailwind. I first tried it after winning a few tubes as a prize at a running event, and I’ve never looked back.
I use it while I’m doing any kind of exercise/activity more than an hour long, and LOVE that it doesn’t mess with my gut at all. It’s difficult to find a hydration product that doesn’t mess with the gut.
You can tell ultra athletes had something to do with its creation. 🙂
Their wicked-awesome Black Friday event has started, and it goes on all weekend, so give them a click.

Back to the Trails
Holy smokes was I a happy camper yesterday.
Can you tell why?
The sun, fresh air, and great company had me smiling ear to ear for most of the day. It’s amazing how doing something you love–or a version of it–can really help your mental health.
I hit the trails yesterday at Dixie for a little hike. Still have to wear my sandals as the top of my foot still gets pretty angry when I try and wear my running shoes, but that’s okay. the Teva sandals I got work pretty well.
I’m so thankful for the sun, the warmth and great friends.
So get out there, my friends, and face off with those obstacles. You can do it!

A Day of Nothing #TheRunningWriter
This morning, about the time I’m typing this, I had been scheduled to be running down the South Rim of the Grand Canyon on my grand adventure of running Rim to Rim to Rim (R2R2R).
Instead. Here I am:
I get to spend the next week pretty much like this. Foot up. Netflix binge-watching on the TV. And my little friend Rocket carrying me around the house.
I’d been planning the R2R2R adventure for over a year. My sweet hubby and I were going to do it together. He’s never done Rim to Rim, and I’ve done it twice. But R2R2R…I’d never done that, and the thought of doing that adventure with my soulmate…to say I was looking forward to it would be an understatement.
But, the universe had different plans for me. I should be angry, right?
Well…..when you start jumping into “shoulds” it can lead to some serious attitude issues. It can lead to anger and frustration. Now, I’ll admit I’m sad. I mean, who wouldn’t be after all that planning and such?
You know what, though? The Grand Canyon isn’t going anywhere, and after I’m all healed up, I’ll be stronger than ever. So watch out, Grand Canyon, here I come.
But today’s question…which Movie and/or Series should I Netflix today?
