Trails are currently soft and not great for fatbiking, but when it's this beautiful, I don't even care!
Whew. The last few weeks have been stressful. Moving is a pain, there's no doubt about it - especially when you're moving an entire family, who has lived in the same place for the past 12 years. Usually, when life stressors ramp up, I double down on my commitment to training/workouts, as a means of stress relief. But for whatever reason, during this move, my training (and other self-care) has taken a backseat. I've gotten in a couple runs and rides, but no real adventures or solid workouts. My life has revolved around putting all our crap in boxes, and then unpacking all those boxes. 📦📦📦📦📦 Yesterday @tom.dabbles gently reminded me that I always feel better when I get outside by myself. He encouraged me to take a break from the unpacking and go ride my bike. Don't tell him I said this, but... he was right. 🙂 I rode in the snow through an incoming storm, with Sadie galloping along joyfully next to me. It was just the bright spot I needed in an otherwise busy and stressful day... week... month. Now, back to the boxes! 😬
I'm gonna be honest. I'm a bit of a scrooge. The holiday season just isn't my thing. I'm sure the rain and darkness do nothing to help. In my opinion, it is NOT the most wonderful time of year and if I hear that song one more time I'm going to scream. This post is for all the other scrooges out there... Here's my message to you on this dreary December day: we're almost through the worst of it. Soon, holiday madness will be over, the days will be getting longer, and the sun will start shining through the fog. Pet your dog, take a walk in the woods, and hang in there. ❤
For the past few weeks I've been hitting up some of the classic Seattle-area trails before we move away from the city. Last Friday was Mount Teneriffe with Sadie-dog. I've been up this mountain multiple times over the years, and not once have I had views. This time was a little different. Even Sadie pawsed for a minute to enjoy the scenery. #sopunny #sorrynotsorry
Heck yeah! Even though it made for a soggy ride, I am so psyched to see water in these creeks and snow in the mountains. More please!
The 2019 @bikepackingcom Awards have been announced and I got an honorable mention for Best Writing! Link in bio. So thrilled to be included on this list of talented folks! And so freshly motivated to get crackin on my next thing... 🚵‍♀️🏃‍♀️✍
