This past weekend, this @punahouschool bunch of intermediate XC kiddos won the boys and girls championships *again*. Could not be more proud of this bunch, and their hard work and dedication is what inspires me to keep running. Coaching is such a gift, and I feel so lucky to have a great group of coaches to share this work with! #coaching #running #crosscountry
Happy birthday to the greatest, my rock, my forever-teacher, my mirror and my protector. Thanks for always being there with open arms and showing me and quito how to love hard since the moment I came into the world. Everything I do is because you and mama push me to be better. I love you 💖💖💖
Stop. Breathe. Again. Good.⁣ ⁣ It's been a crazy couple of weeks. Don't get me wrong, it's a lot of good things: birthdays and time with friends and awesome work with my kids.⁣ ⁣ But I have to admit: I'm tired. I'm burnt out. A few things that used to make me so happy, like running, feel like a chore. I don't wake up feeling excited to run around anymore, no matter how pretty it is out there.⁣ ⁣ So, it's time to change things up and start taking care of not just my body, but my head and my heart too. That means trying new things (like doing a trail run for joy and HR instead of focusing so much on pace), writing for myself again, taking time to breathe and relax, and letting go of some of the unnecessary baggage I've put on myself with regards to my running. I'm still going to do my marathons, but I'm not going to worry so much about pace, I just want to try and find joy again.⁣ ⁣ Anyway, major props to @wookiekim for giving me some trail running tips and pushing me to do something new, my beautiful friends for being there for me, and @mwalimu808 for being a loving, supportive partner who sends me cute photos of dogs when he knows I am stressed. #hawaii #luckywelivehawaii #tantulas #running #trailrunning #runner #trailrunner
