It has been a while since I’ve typed…ran…raced…puked…lived much of anything within the trail community. After the race in June of 2018 (2018!) I definitely hit a long stretch of lonely miles, uncertainties with my health, and just an overall adjustment in what I…

But first...
Kansas City decided to do winter this year (a change from the past three). Sadly my running gloves tore earlier in the season. Thankfully @bocogear got the goods! I snagged their covered running gloves and can firmly say my fingers are finally warm out in the wind, snow, and cold! #bocogear #ultrarunner #running #health #fitness #cold #fit #winter #trailrunning #snow

Yeah....... I'd rather be in mountains, fields, and trees, but the reality is my other life is spent with about 650-700 students a day. Regardless of either school, or the next run, the weather around here has been quite awful as of late. Which means... I'm so, so, so pumped to have grabbed one of @bocogear new performance beanies. They even fit my head (and when my hair is down I kind of look like a skater with it)! #bocogear #winter #teachersofinstagram #trailrunning #running #ultrarunning #ultramarathon #health #fitness
I honestly can't remember the last time a long run was a fun run. Ice everywhere, 1600ft of gain, and warmer temperatures made for an amazingly wonderful run. Plus...surfing on downed trees and catching up with @vanguard.church while the miles ticked by #ruhn_co #bocogear #trailrunning #running #health #fitness #fit #runkc #ultrarunning
An evening's worth of freezing rain and sleet resulted in a training day requiring additional tractiin support. Break out the @yaktraxtraction! So hard to put on, but so worth it. Off to go warm up on order more @bocogear winter gear. #trailrunning #running #training #runkc #health #fitness #bocogear #ruhn_co #ultramarathon
Lovely shorter long run to end a wonderful cut week. A chance to catch my breath, refocus, and get ready to dive back into the training. #ruhn_co #running #trailrunning #ultramarathon #training #runkc #health #fitness #fit
