Wild Amanda & Frank || vanlife

Today I enjoyed my first run since race day and it felt awesome. Especially for it to become clear that I actually do love running and I wasn’t just training because I liked the idea of being someone who can say they ran a ultra, or because running the @squamish50 had been on my bucket list for 13 years.

I’ve invested a lot of time into running and fitness over the past several months and on the flip side also spent way more time than usual just loafing around with Frank and savouring time together making sure he’s enjoying himself as well, so after today’s run I took him to the lake for a nice afternoon.

Now that my first big race is behind me training will continue as the list of goals has exploded, and with cooler days ahead Frank will have a little more energy for fun times but I’m also ready to get back to creating and sharing videos.

I really do love making video and in all this time away I haven’t stopped feeling creative, I’ve just done it privately. I didn’t plan to take so much time away but in the end I needed it to properly reset so I can come back feeling refreshed and aligned.

I can’t say when to expect me because I don’t know but it’ll be soon and I really look forward to it. First I’m gonna catch up sharing on Patreon and then you’ll see me back on YouTube, but I’ll also be here because it’s so nice to scroll back and see memories of a life well lived.

PS: if anyone is great with van-home electrical systems I need help. I feel like my system is getting worse and the power limitation is getting in the way of powering my computer and being productive 🙏🏼

PPS: I really should be making myself food but I feel so energized from running again and was excited to share some thoughts and snaps. Okay see ya soon 🫶🏻
