It’s been a while since I’ve had this much fun!

It wasn’t my first trail run, but this one was definitely more challenging!

Rain, muddy trails, climbs where I’d take one step forward and slide two steps back, playing Tarzan by holding onto trees, and sliding down hills on my bum.

But somewhere in the middle of all that mud and chaos, I was reminded of how strong I am. That I can do things that scare me, adapt when things don’t go as planned, and lean on others when I need help.

It also made me think about how often we get so caught up in one goal that we forget to enjoy the journey.

In running, that might be our pace, our time, or the numbers on our watch. But this time, I completely forgot to look at mine. I was too busy navigating the terrain, figuring out my next step, and adapting to whatever came my way.

And maybe that’s what resilience is about, too.

Not just pushing through or proving how much we can endure, but adapting when things get messy, letting go of expectations, accepting support, and finding another way forward.

Sometimes, the best experiences happen when we stop trying to control everything and embrace the unexpected. 🌱
