Here’s to all of the fitblrs/runblrs who only have a handful of followers. Who don’t always get notes on their life updates and PRs. Who continue to press on and crush their goals! You are seen. You are supported. ✌🏼🌻 Keep going!!

Everything about today’s run was golden and dreamy! My muscles loosened quickly which helped me crush a hill I’ve never fully run before annd I made it to my favorite spot on the greenway. Always run along the water when you can!!

I just came home from one of the most anxiety filled work days in awhile. It’s been a few years since I’ve almost had a panic attack in public, so it hit me like a ton of bricks.

After I got home and laid down, my husband - who doesn’t have personal experience with anxiety - immediately laid behind me, wrapped his arms and legs around me, and declared himself a ‘human thunder shirt’.

There once was a time when I would have rejected this. I felt I deserved poor mental health and didn’t deserve love. There once was a time when I was very wrong.

No matter what you’ve done. No matter where you are. No matter how others have treated you before. You. Deserve. Love. Real, selfless love. Love that teaches you goodness in a world of evil. Love that wraps itself around you like a thunder shirt.

Easy 4.2 mile hike in the TN wilderness. Accompanied by my friend, her dog and a snack break. This afternoon has been bliss! 🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲
