What I know for sure. 1. I have not had a stroke. 2. I have the heart of champions - #thankyourunning 3. I have a cervicogenic migraine. Not a pain in my head, but a pain in my neck. 4. I see the neurologist in 2 weeks. Until then I have meds specifically for this type of pain. Thank you for all your well wishes, good vibes and prayers. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz3LmqnFcmE/?igshid=h1kilxvrb9dz

So you know running is not really my ‘forte’. I find it hard- it’s not natural. I feel often like the pavements are made of glue. Many people believe running has huge benefits for mental health and before now I’ve said that as an overthinker, running can actually prove to do the opposite as I try to rationalise the world in a 5km run round the park 😂 This week work has been particularly stressful which affects sleep and relaxation and yes you guessed it, exercise has to take a back seat. This then in turn makes sleep worse, anxiety worse and seems to exacerbate PTSD. So this week, after having a total meltdown after the school run I went for a run. I didn’t set an expectation, and I wouldn’t have done it without encouragement from @mrsclairenegus but I did actually run. I think the thought about running and the fear of failure was no where near as bad as the run itself. The run wasn’t easy (especially with the pollen! Anyone else struggling with #hayfeverproblems ??) but I did it and afterwards felt SO MUCH better. That was Wednesday, I broke the back of my abstinence from running and this morning Claire and I got the opportunity to run together for a longer stretch. So, many positives out of what felt like a negative- workouts got done, sense of achievement, relaxation, friendship and support and encouragement (and today lots of laughs) and good health. #thankyourunning #runningformentalhealth #runningforptsd #thefearisworsethanreality #faceyourdemons #dowhatyoudontwanttodo #iamnotabornrunner #notbuiltforrunning #girlswhorun https://www.instagram.com/p/BxAUcJ4APQg/?igshid=1ke4qs61b0s08

Ran 9.94 km with #Nike⁠ #Run Club, and we're thankful for the #ThankYouRun (@coachbennett), but not so much for the freezing rain and wind at the end there. @phaeton_the_demidog is a great running buddy though! #running #NikeReactInfinityRunFlyknit2 #puppy #dogsofinstagram .

Is this real life?

Happy Saturday Morning from Europe!  It’s so fun to be six hours ahead of the U.S. It’s 10am, and as I sit here recovering from my run with water and Italian espresso, it’s only 4am in the U.S.  

Everyone who travels or lives abroad knows how fast your vibe can change: c’est à dire how fast your highest highs can become your lowest lows. With cultural differences that we might not always be aware of, dealing with administration in another language (banking, immigration, visa), and general misunderstandings that can happen every day on the street, living abroad can quickly become very stressful. But only if you let it...#ThankYouRunning #ThankYouCoffee #ThankYouFriends. 

I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have some lows this past week, but this morning’s run was an hour and half of mind-numbing reflection. How lucky am I that this is my real life? If you’d asked me what my dream life would look like four years ago as I was beginning college, I would have described exactly how my life is right now. Is there anything more fulfilling than that realization?

Casey and I were joking around yesterday, and we came to the realization that we’re actually insane human beings. What kind of young person willingly and openly moves to a country that they’ve never visited? Insanity.  We’re crazy people, but crazy people have more fun. On beautiful mornings like this, I’m feeling a little extra grateful and happy. I can’t believe this is my life.

Last weekend, I was in the city. I ran the sea wall and turned my run into a biathlon. Run, stop, steady, shoot, run again. The combination of two of my loves. It was a great morning. #thankyourunning and Happy Friday. (at Stanley Park)

My playground consists of dirt, rocks, roots, mountains, valleys, and trees. And, I'm often left speechless at the beauty around me. #thankyourunning #traillovetuesday

First #run back with @phaeton_the_demidog doing 30 minutes around town. For some reason, I didn't pay attention to how long the #ThankYouRun is on #NRC. Oops. I just stopped at 30. Thank you @coachbennett for a good run, no matter the length. #NikeReactInfinityRunFlyknit2 #puppy #dogsofinstagram #CorosPace2 #CorosPOD (at La Grange, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CU5ARVpLNta/?utm_medium=tumblr
