I just entered the last year of my 40s and I saw this quote from @theycallhermagnetic that summed it all up perfectly, "Your energy is precious. Be intentional with where you spend it, who you give it to, and what you allow into your life. Choose what grows you. Choose what inspires you. Choose what feels good for your soul. And don't feel guilty for walking away from anything that consistently drains you."

And since @ectwins have commented on at least 3 of my posts I promised them I would make a reel with one of their songs while dancing hands-free on my bike. This song, "Energy" fits perfectly with the vibe! ✨️💕

These photos are from my Camino de Santiago pilgrimage along the Portuguese Litoral Way last year.

I chose them because they capture the soul searching behind this post. Trying to understand what I’ve been through and how I want to move forward. Hearing and seeing the recent news about Cornell Gang Rape and now the SNL skit from Shane Gillis has really triggered me to say the least. I've found myself in cycles of grief having to think about it all.

Being conflicted on whether I should speak up or stay quiet. I've decided to speak up. Because staying quiet will never get us to change. It just buries the pain again.

There’s a lot behind the adventures and finish lines I share here. This is one part I’m choosing to talk about it openly, because of the recent events and I feel my voice needs to be heard.

I am Jane Doe. 1 in 3 Women are Jane Doe. It is Heavy and it's Not Funny. Things need to change. Who's side are you on?

I love donuts. By donut number four, though, we needed some time apart. 😂🍩

Part 2 of my San Diego Donut Dash recap: the Donut Mile!

I’d already finished the 5K, so naturally I decided to follow that with four donuts and four quarter-mile laps. You have to finish each donut before you can run again.

Sounds fun. Turns out chewing and swallowing quickly is a whole different challenge when you’re out of breath. 😂

I thought I might be dead fucking last. I wasn’t… but it was close. Also thought I might throw up. Thankfully, I didn’t.

Finished with two medals, lots of laughs with my friends, and absolutely no desire for another donut.

Would you try this, or stick to donuts AFTER the race? 🍩👇🏼

⭐ I ran a 5K for a medal that says GLAZED & CONFUSED 🍩 at the San Diego Donut Dash — hills, heat, and a finish line that handed me fried dough.

Part two (the Donut Mile) drops tomorrow. Follow along to see how that goes!

And follow @sandiegodonutdash if you want to join in on the fun!

I almost didn't go a run, but as usual, I'm always so happy I did after the fact. 💪🏼

San Diego heat wave is still on 🥵🔥 I'm ready for some real fall running weather ya'll! 😅

@wizkhalifa This song is gonna be in my head the entire time I'm racing Mission Bay Triathlon this Sunday. 🙌🏼🔥💖

Too late...we paid for this! 💪🏼

Some races just take everything we've got. This race was one of those races, but I refused to quit.

I wasn't dying, I just couldn't go any faster and the race directors were so kind not pulling me off the course. They had me escorted in my Monterey County Search and rescue for safety but I was fine. DFL but totally fine.

Wildflower Experience 70.3 my first ever half distance. Finishing time 9:35:13 🥵

Birthday lunch with my girl. She always makes sure I feel special and has literally been by my side for everything.

Rhea I'm so grateful for your friendship. Thank you for always being there for me no matter what. 🥰

Being single makes birthdays feel hard sometimes, but then I remember how lucky I am to have the most amazing female friends in my life. 💖✨️

Day 2 of Doing Shit That Scares Me.

Climbing is quickly becoming my newest obsession.

The straight-up parts are getting easier for me.

But the routes that curve away from the wall? Different story.

There’s a point where I have to stop relying on “I feel secure,” trust the rope, trust the person belaying me, and make the next move while part of my brain is still VERY aware that I am way up there.

I’m not trying to become fearless because, let’s be honest, that’s probably never going to happen.

I’m genuinely curious about what happens when I keep doing things that scare me anyway.

Because every time I do, I learn a little more about where I hesitate, where I don’t trust myself yet, and what gets stronger when I keep showing up there.

And technically… this isn’t really Day 2.

I’ve been doing shit that scares me my whole life.

I’m just starting to document it now—in the hope that maybe someone watching decides to try the thing that scares them too. ✨💪🏼

Follow @triwithelizabeth to see what scares me next—and whether I do it anyway.
