Goodbye October
Do you ever have those moments when you say to yourself…”Okay universe, you can stop testing me, I am good!" That was me as of lately. When I think I have “kind of” healed, the universe has other plans to throw a wrench/axe/hurricane/dog poop into the mix and to test my patience and strength. On the positive side, now at 45, I know what triggers me, I am aware of toxic cycles, and I have the tools ready to use. I have learned, but sometimes it is just hard to stay the course and when it hits it hits. I cried, I screamed, I dropped a lot of F bombs, and I keep moving forward. Focus on the “little things” that bring me joy…Remind myself that damn life is good…Strive to do ME and only ME. Just be FREE!
It has been a hot minute and I took some time to disappear, to find peace, clear my head, find inspiration, and prepare for what is next, because what is unfolding is going to be a wild ride and I am really trying to wrap my head around it. And as always, I had that moment when posting and writing, not only were not serving me, but I didn’t have time to put the energy into it, so a break was necessary. Less scrolling and less posting had me running more miles, soaking up nature and this breathtaking month, walking the dogs, and reading. ALL THE GOOD THINGS!
What is happening come November as far as content? In no specific order, because whenever I put a schedule on my social media content and blog posts, they never go as planned. But I think moving forward I am envisioning more running content, nature, and real and organic videos of my life. And maybe I will throw in some food posts…Maybe…
Running…Running…and more RUNNING! This is what I am envisioning and feeling…I want to share my favorite running gear. Where I run? What my training schedule looks like? Who I run with? Running is becoming such a huge part of my life these days more for the psychological reasons. It is the space that I feel the most free. It allows me to be me, with no judgment, criticism, negativity. My body, my mind, and mother nature all in one setting and it is exactly what I love and am addicted to these days. I want to share why the RUN!
Nature…I spend so much time outside and being by the ocean, being on the trails, soaking up the seasons, it is real and natural therapy for my mind, body, and soul. I have made big changes in how I spend more time outdoors, no matter what the weather. I thrive to aim for 20K steps a day. I walk with no phone. I am going to dabble in more posts and photos and see what speaks to me. I think it’ll be beautiful and inspiring and bring out more of my creative side.
Food…it is going to be very important this year as far as fueling is concerned, so there will be some learning curves, trying new things, geeking out and exploring nutrition and running. I want to stay strong, healthy, and badass. And to do that, well nutrition is key…I’m repeating myself and also manifesting it as I tackle what’s next for me and running.
I am going to be doing an AWESOME giveaway in November with MASA Chips, so make sure you are following along on Instagram. You can also use my code KATIEUHRAN to get 20% off your order. I eat them with everything…chicken salad, ground beef, loaded nachos, hummus, guacamole…so GOOD and minimal ingredients. Check them out!
Fur Babies…Two dogs is a LOT and Penny is extra special, but I love her with all my heart! My dogs are the exact opposite, but I think Penny came into my life to teach me to be free, fearless, and to improve my running. I have NEVER had a dog that runs like her and one that can run 10 miles. It is wild and exhausting, but she is happy, even though I feel like I am loosing my mind sometimes.
What have you been focusing on as of lately? What do you want to focus on? Time to have “little crushes” on all the beautiful things that fill up my soul. It is going to be delicious!
xoxo
