While it has become common knowledge that I love to run, the sad reality is that I have not been able to run for the past two weeks. A sliding rock that I stepped on resulted in a mildly sprained ankle that safely sidelined…

PR’s, weight loss, negative splits, final kicks…all words that revolve around the mind of a runner. It has taken many years for me to understand what all of these words meant, and today, I realized that in some instances you just have to not…

But first...
Just snapped some fun stuff on a short run today. Hit the century mark for the month of August as well. Many more miles to go. @aravaiparunning Aspen Dream 50k is just over a month away. #training #running #trailrunning #health #fitness #fit #ultramarathon
Monday came with a gift! @ruhn_co shipped me out their newest top to sweat through while doing hill repeats tonight (and making faces of hopelessness). Light. Cool. Breathable. Thank you Ruhn Co.! There may be a few more of these in my future... ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ #ruhner #ruhn_co #running #trailrunning #ultramarathon #runkc #health #fitness #fit
Sometimes you wake up, put your gear on, flip your hat, throw on some sunglasses...and try to look like that "cool runner". Then you walk into your house after a few hours, take off your @bocogear hat, and your wife can't stop laughing at your new sunburn that she assures you all of your students will notice on Monday. 📷@darci_daugherty #sunburn #tanlines #running #trailrunning #bocogear #ruhner #ultramarathon #health #fitness #fit #runkc
When running...and you pass by a birthday party at mile 4...only to pass it again at mile 15...don't be surprised if a random child's mother offers you a piece of cake. You always take the cake. #trailrunning #running #training #cake #health #fitness #fit #bocogear #runkc
Got the timing down. Nailed a quick hour run between two sets of storms, after school, and a doctor's appointment. Reward? 🌞 ☁️ 📷 #training #trailrunning #mowx #running #health #fitness #runkc #ultramarathon #thunderstorm
After a few years of double booking this weekend; I finally got to enjoy the Lawrence Trail Hawks Birthday Run. A time for members to show up, run a few miles, and enjoy the company. Plus naming ceremonies for your "hawk name", if you're in need of one. My shoes squished from the sweat (that's a thing). It was an ugly fight for 15 miles starting at 4:30 PM, but one quart of cherry juice and a lot of patience later...plus 5 hours, it was finished. The rest of the night was spent under the shooting stars listening to stories of past races, and laughing the evening away. A pretty awesome birthday party @trail.hawks #trailrunning #running #health #fitness #fit #training #runkc #ultramarathon
