I ran my first race in a LONG time today!! I went into it massively undertrained but with a lot of muscle memory and I finished the @lostdutchmanmarathon 1/2 marathon in 2:15!! Supper proud of that time considering my (lack of) fitness and weight... not a bad sunrise view, either!!

Day 5 of 30 and today I really pushed myself. I hiked #CamelbackMountain TWICE!! It felt amazing to do that since the last time I did it was more than 6 years ago. Super fun!! #runwanderwonderchallenge

THREE DAYS IN A ROW. I didn’t think I’d want to hike Camelback again today. I woke up super sore but I ended up getting the urge to do it again. And this time, I strapped on my weirdo toe shoes. I actually ended up feeling awesome once the cobwebs got shaken off. Good day!! Day 3 of 30

Here's a piece of advice for anyone who wants to "

Here's a piece of advice for anyone who wants to "get into shape" this year:
• Find a physical hobby that you LOVE doing. Find something that you have so much fun doing that you can't wait to get up in the morning and go do, or come home from work and go do. And then do it as much as your heart desires. • Getting into shape/losing weight will be the side effect of you doing this super-fun hobby that you love.
If getting into shape/losing weight is the main goal of exercising, you will most likely hate it and struggle with it forever. However, if you find something you love and can't wait to do, you will think less about your weight.
• I was in the best shape of my life when I was rock climbing and then when I was running because I LOVED it. I couldn't wait to go to the rock gym or strap on my trail running shoes. I'd go every day, and it wasn't a grind. And as a side-effect, I lost weight, gained muscle, got super fit and felt awesome all the time.
• People's priorities and perspectives are wrong. Enjoy being active and you'll be healthier. Make it about FUN and LOVING IT, not about fitting some physical expectation.
