The Badland Babes were at it again and took home yet another W at the Birkie Marathon Relay this weekend. It was a blast and not just the winning part :) Staying at Mandy’s cabin was a dream and I was so thankful for the opportunity to hang out with these fast friends.
A boat ride + charcuterie happened all snuggled with blankets and sweatshirts and that was very nice.
I was the last leg and so waiting 4 hours to run was hard-- and cold. I look normal here but really I was wearing another layer and a stocking hat and had many goosebumps.
I never stopped running, but I did get my phone out at the top of the switchbacks and took this picture. It was SO fun to run down this hill.
The sunrise in the morning was absolutely stunning and the fall colors were vibrant.
I have been sore ever since. I went into the race a little under the weather and I just feel off. I don't know what it is. but I don't like not feeling like myself. and I feel a bit frustrated. I haven't been sleeping well either. idk. If a friend was describing what was happening I would tell her to take a break, but let's be real-- that is wayyyyy easier to tell someone else than actually take the advice on your own.
We're celebrating Lucy and Olives birthdays this weekend, have 1 CC meet this week, 3 flag football games and 1 kid birthday party this weekend. AND it's the first day of October today. Where oh where did this month go??
October I want to:
- make soup and bread 2x.
- runtober-- run 175 miles this month. 31 squats daily, 31 pushups daily.
- get 2 dates with Sten
- Celebrate SO many birthdays: Haley, Kim, Lucy/Olive, Emily, Kate, Jenny.
- sleep.
- QT with my kids.
- write down a joy each day.
xo. edc.
