Ciao, verano. May hill time never be over. 😎

I haven’t been taking as many videos lately as my phone storage is almost full 😬. Probably should do something about that…I enjoy making summary reels like this.

Now that Fall is here, I’m going to focus on strength training again, and nurturing foundations and creativity for 2027. May I finally have the comeback year I’ve been wanting to have? 😉 Vamos.

After a big weekend of racing and intense energy, I spent some time yesterday at the @threecreekscollective — a sacred place of intertribal stewardship and an active #landback success story. My good friend @evolwon_ works there now and invited me to witness some earthen building repair work. Locally sourced earth materials were mixed and shaped to repair and add to community structures, from a composting toilet to the ceremonial house. This space has also been personally meaningful for me, as it was the very place Teyana and Norm held their blessing to pass on the red bundle to me, the one that I would summit Tumanguya with. Plus, @evolwon_ and @briizsasum got married here!! It’s such a beautiful oasis and I love how it brings the community together. A true gem of belonging exists on these lands. If you’re ever in the area, make sure to visit, and offer a helping hand while you’re at it. 🫶🏽

First time at @trailcontahoe with @runners4publiclands 🫶🏽. We had a Photo Booth activity with public lands props and a map backdrop haha. So great to spend time with folks in person! What an amazing crew. I didn’t take that many photos myself, but these shots by @mattgraves are pretty sweet. Thanks to @evolwon_ for visiting and hanging with us for a little bit. Looking forward to @mammothtrailfest next!!

Exactly one year ago, I was driving to a campground in Timbisha (Death Valley) to prepare for something that already felt otherworldly. The next day, Oct 31st, I would begin my @fastestknowntime attempt of the Lowest to Highest (CA) route. It was part fundraiser and part prayer run, but it was also a chance to begin to tell a difficult story. This is why the film crew was there: to not only document a physical feat, but to also help me create something bigger than the physical world. 2024 was the year I was supposed to begin preventative surgeries as someone with a BRCA1 mutation, but, when I scored my first ever professional athlete contract, 2024 turned into a year of final offering instead. 2025 would be the surgery year, so this FKT was my last big effort with the body I’d known (and slowly learned to love) for 35 years. It would be a chance to share the grief my family carries, and to also show up for others. The lesson of letting go that 2025 has become (so literally) began that very Halloween morning (and comically when Patrick put too much turmeric in my breakfast oatmeal). Over the following ~2.5 days I took to complete the 132-mile route, it was the community and the promise to carry a prayer bundle to the summit of Tumanguya (Mt. Whitney) that got me to the finish. I was so depleted the night before the final mountain, but somehow, I felt carried. Thus, I present to you snippets from the film: OFRENDA, were the narrative is actually driven by an unscripted conversation my sister @therenearanda and I had on a bedroom floor in the @thehostelcaliforniabishop the night after a friend’s wedding. It is a film about bodies. Poetry. Holding space. And obviously, about running a challenging route through various Indigenous lands. And it’s a scary thing to not only create something, but to also trust others to bring your vision to life. Thank you to director @the.benevolent.metalhead and production @41westproductions for believing in my story and for elevating such humanness to the screen. Thank you to all the crew and pacers who showed up and suffered with me. This is what is incredible to me, what we accomplish not because of others but WITH others. 🙏🏽❤️

RECOVERY / There are many versions of myself that I will never be again. I love looking back and loving the me in these moments. My past selves know a lot about strength and grit. And all that is soft, too. I look forward to meeting this new version of Sara. It’s been 8 days since surgery and I’m already so antsy to finally rebuild my body for the longterm. What will I learn now? What places will teach me? Who will I meet? What will my body do and become? What barriers will I run into? And who will be around to challenge them with me? I don’t doubt I’ll be running in the mountains and climbing cliffs again — I just wonder how it’ll be, knowing what I know, feeling what I feel (or cannot feel), ever older but still so relatively young. Good things await. Probably some bad things, too. But, as I wrote for my upcoming film: I teeter, I try.

Photographers are tagged in the photos they took 🫶🏽
