“Sacramento is a wonderful city to run in, but recently I have escaped to the hills for training runs. This offers a challenge for my body by adding new terrain and more elevation. When changing your environment, it is important to fuel properly. I find that CLIF Bars provide the carbohydrates my body needs for energy, along with a great taste! They are easy to pack so remember to carry an extra in case of emergencies out on the trails! You never know what you may encounter so it’s best to be prepared, and same goes for on the roads! Has everyone been testing out nutrition options in their training?” @that_runner_girl_goes

If you have a good day or a bad day, it’s all up to you. If you have a good run or a bad run, it’s all up to you. Keep that positive mindset @runningforcarbs (@get_repost) ・・・ Overslept and accidentally forgot to set my alarm this morning. ??‍♀️ So, instead of the 8 mile speed workout I had planned, I ended up running 5 easy paced miles with Dan by my side. ?? ••• These past two weeks have felt really stressful, and last night I made a decision to change the direction of my week/happiness. I’m not sure why, but it can sometimes be intimidating to empower ourselves. If something isn’t working for you, address it. If it doesn’t feel right, stop complaining, and change it. I feel ?times better and can’t understand why I didn’t realize it sooner! Be confident, stay strong, and live the life you imagined.
