Trail running isn’t always about pace, distance, or where you finish. Sometimes it’s about staying in it when your legs are tired, trusting the work you’ve put in, and reminding yourself that you can keep going.
A few mindset reminders to carry with you into your next run. 🌲

If you know, you know 😂
Trail running: somehow trying to run fast while simultaneously dodging roots, rocks, branches, puddles and whatever else the trail decides to throw at you.
A little Jack Sparrow, a little questionable footing, and a whole lot of “I meant to do that.”
Who else looks like this on the trails? 🙋♀️
