Meet Liv! An energetic, determined, humorous, compassionate, joyful, welcoming, go-getting, starlight of a person 🤗

This is her second year running in Philadelphia, and she’s already helped to found an inclusive running group, welcoming of any and all paces. They also host social events, so if you’re a runner in the area, make sure to join them!

Not only is Liv driven, she’s also always rocking the cutest run fits that make me want to get a matching set, put sparkle freckles on, and get out there with friends 🤭✨

She is honestly a joy, and you need to make sure you’re following her 🫶🏼 @watchlivrun

Yesterday I began a whole new chapter!

This mama got a job 🥹

It was totally God-orchestrated, everything I prayed for and more, and every single part of it has been so perfectly timed. I’m so thankful to be able to help my family financially, so excited for this new path, and so in awe of God and His kindness.

I’ll still be the training, homeschooling, Costco-hauling, Saturday Sharing, injury healing islandrunningmama y’all know and love, I just have a bit more of a full plate now, and I am ready for the challenge!

Moving ahead with gratitude and joy 🥹 love y’all!

Meet Daniel!

If you don’t know/follow him yet, do yourself a favor and get after it! Daniel is a humble guy, one who doesn’t think of himself too highly, and will run with anyone. He keeps his friends and even strangers going to reach their goals.
At a 100 mile trail race he saw a participant who was going to throw in the towel at mile 80, and Daniel said to his buddy “we can’t let him quit now!” and threw on fresh shoes to pace him his last 20 miles. They had never met before, this is just Daniel’s heart and the way he lives his life.

I remember being struck by his kindness in offering to help people stack miles, train with them, give advice, encouragement, reminders to keep eyes on the prize, etc, and thinking wow, he really is out here genuinely building others up. He is the epitome of “servant leadership” in that he never acts too big or too cool to help anyone, and he is eager to see others succeed.

Go follow @gutie_87 and be blessed! 😌

Leaning not on my own understanding, enjoying exercise with my husband, feeling deep gratitude for the body that I get to live in, and being patient as she heals. She does good work 🫶🏼

Meet Nicole! She is a little rockstar, and I can’t wait to tell you about her. 🤗

She is a wife, a mom, a coach, a business owner, and a friend 🫶🏼 Her greatest love is her family, and running is her passion, where she connects with God. She’s a former teacher, an advocate for mental health, autism awareness, and cares about rights for all people 🫶🏼

Something I truly admire about Nicole is that despite some big health setbacks, she always makes a comeback and finds a way to live out her dreams. She is letting her story unfold as it’s meant to, and it’s such a gift to get to watch and cheer her on!

Go follow @run.likeawoman 🤗

A bit of sad news, but exciting things on the horizon 🫶🏼

After lots of dialogue with coach @adventure.your.potential and my husband, we decided it’s the right call to pull out of my 100k and defer until I’m 100% pain free.

We’ve worked really hard to heal this injury, but the fact is that sometimes it just needs more time and rest, and that’s the case here.

Super thankful for Ben’s wisdom, care, and belief in me. I know this is a good thing preventing me from doing something I’m not ready for, and I’m really seeing the positive side of this now. Excited for what’s to come! 🫶🏼

Meet Raul! If you don’t know him already, you should.

He is a picture of growth and possibility, showing us that anyone can achieve greatness, it just takes hard work, perseverance, humility, and passion. Raul has been an incredible leader to me and others, although he may not realize it. He never falsely inflates your ego, but he speaks directly to who you are, reminding you that you have it in you, to not get discouraged, to keep going, and calling you to your own greatness. I’m so thankful for the things I’ve learned from him so far, and for the humble way he lives his life.

Highly recommend having him in your corner if you don’t already! @earnedmiles
