I stopped giving a forkburger about curating a perfect Strava, but I still took photos like I was going to add them to every logged run. Welp, here’s the receipts from all those nameless Afternoon & Evening Runs.(& yes, it’s a miracle that I didn’t get sprayed by that cutie cute skunk 🦨) by @shelbzzf

Crewing a 100-miler doesn’t have to mean hauling half your garage to every aid station.This was our crew setup for Vermont 100, packed into a single SILO Crew Drop One bag. It was my first race using this system, and it made every aid station feel calmer, faster, and more efficient.I’ve linked the Crew Drop One and the rest of my race-day setup on Rendezvu.P.S. The KT Tape and Band-Aids came home untouched. The @playonrelief spray, on the other hand... actual magic. 🪄👉 rendezvu.co/shelby-farrell🔗 in bio by @shelbzzf

I finally found that place where my body had accepted the mission, leaving my mind free to play. I filled the miles with little games to keep my foot on the gas. Inner thoughts became outer giggles, and suffering was no longer something to negotiate with.📸 @ethanjsphotography by @shelbzzf

What a brutiful course. I couldn’t tell you what felt better by the end, the uphills or the downhills. But the satisfaction of the hunt never gets old. 🐆Sharing the course with the horses was magical. The volunteers were the most uplifting. Witnessing the space created for the adaptive athletes, it was impossible not to feel grateful, even when everything hurt.My body needed a little reminding of what racing 100 miles actually entails. Kind of wild that this was my first proper hundo since 2023. But once I found my groove again, I got to play.It was also my first 100-mile race without headphones. It forced me to be fully present. Every conversation, every hoofbeat, every cheer, every climb, every descent. Instead of tuning out the hard moments, I tuned in.Huge respect to the women who showed up ready to race. The hunt is only as good as the competition, and you all made me earn every mile. Thank you for bringing your best. 💜So many more thoughts to come. For now, I’ll happily take this classically hard-fought 4th-place female finish and roll that momentum into Kodiak 100. 🤠💯 by @shelbzzf

Tapering for @vermont100mile is giving me permission to fully embrace my inner crazy cat lady, & honestly, I’m thriving. 🐈😜🐈‍⬛10/10 on the @tanrioutdoors face masks by @shelbzzf

Pretty sure @morgandallas13 (total bad@$$) captured the full exorcism. 😂 A belated #medalmonday…The Ascent is a short, steep, balls-to-the-wall mountain race. I had zero expectations going in. I flew across the country the day before, was wildly sleep deprived, wonderfully caffeinated, and went straight from sea level to altitude. Gotta love the variables. I was there for the vibes.Somewhere in the middle of the climb, I got a little cocky. Then it humbled me.It’s not unusual for me (or anyone, really) to vom after redlining like that. I felt totally fine afterward, just mildly embarrassed that I couldn’t keep it together while @runningmandie was trying to hand me my medal. 😽But here’s what stuck with me:How lucky am I to have found something I’m willing to empty the well for? I’m not afraid to dig deep (even when suffering in the midpack). Sure, if I’d coasted the final stretch, I probably wouldn’t have puked all over dear Mandie’s shoes. But that’s never really been how I’m wired.You can actually see the moment in the video where I look over and go, “ughhh…” One final little challenge presented itself, and I stepped up to it almost automatically.That’s the lesson I’m taking into @vermont100mile this Saturday.Don’t back off.And like I’ve said before… what’s the worst that can happen?A lil puke? 🤷🏼‍♀️💖 by @shelbzzf

I’m really good at saving my training for the end of the day, struggling to pull myself away from work (purely because it’s super engaging, not because I’m chained to my desk), and lately it’s resulted in night runs & a lotta bug bites. Happy this one came with a full golden hour. ☀️ by @shelbzzf

Time to taper, trust the training (shoutout Coach Martin cc: @cts_ultrarunning), and dial in the final details. @vermont100mile is somehow only a week and a half away. 🙀💖🤠🏃🏽‍♀️‍➡️ by @shelbzzf
