longest bike ride ever!!!🥳 the farthest I’v

longest bike ride ever!!!🥳

the farthest I’ve ever run was 30 miles (on a treadmill - yeah, yeah I know - who does that!?) so when I hit 30 on the bike it was a this-is-cool-I’ve-run-this-far-moment & then I kept going & every mile past that point, well really every mile past 20, felt extra cool.

I was chatting with this guy at a local bike shop not long ago about bikes & stuff. I was like the problem with cycling is I’m a go big or go home person, so like I already want to be able to ride like 50+ miles. But then in the next breath I was like well the other thing is I’m also a wimp & I’m afraid. On the way home I thought about how I constantly put myself down in some areas and how it’s silly to believe that I’m a wimp if I feel like I’m a go big or go home person. Because go big or go home people aren’t wimps....so I’m going to work on my internal dialogue and quit telling myself I’m a wimp...because the more I say it the more I believe it...and as friend of mine since I was 19 said to me - when I think of someone who is a wimp, I absolutely do not think of you 😊

Oh and I have a story: I legit could not get the hang of the clips...I was lamenting to the same guy at the bike shop about how terribly afraid I was & he said - it’s like this - it’s like that girl in that movie the wizard of oz...and I said Dorothy...and he goes yeah Dorothy, just do what she does and click your heel out. I said ok thanks ❤️ MY NAME IS actually Dorothy 👠🙂🙃 & just like that he gave me the confidence I needed & now I’m not afraid. Still not great at it but that’s ok - it will come 🖤

Running has been a constant in my life for the pas

Running has been a constant in my life for the past 17+ years. I run when I’m happy, I run when I’m sad, I run when life is going smoothly & I run when life is tough. The past four months have felt like a roller coaster of emotions but through it all, running has been there. On days I haven’t felt like running - I know running is there, waiting for me when I’m ready.

Fall races are still up in the air, but I’ve started training for them anyways. If they happen, I’ll be pleasantly surprised and if they don’t, no fitness is ever wasted - it all builds day after day, week after week, year after year. Training for something helps me focus - so I'll train & swerve if needed later on.

Like most of you I’ve spent the majority of the past four months at home. I’ve been wearing a lot of @athleta apparel because it’s functional + comfortable. Who doesn’t want to be comfortable at home?! The Hustle 3” Short has become one of my favorite LBS’s (little black shorts) in my run rotation. As someone who has thicker thighs I appreciate the fact that my legs have room to breathe in them while the adjustable NeverEnd drawstring makes them tight enough in the waist that they aren’t falling down! The laser cut outs on the side make them noticeably cooler than my other LBS’s :)

Cheers to a holiday weekend - hope it’s filled with many happy miles! 😊

I‘ll be crossing my fingers with the hope that I drag my butt out of bed earlier so that I don’t have to have any more surface of the sun runs 😝
