❄️ Snap, crackle, pop goes the ice. _ #nmlff #nmlffundefine #outdoorwomen #womenwhorun #keepitwild #winterrunning #snowrunning #writerslife #trailsisters #trailrunningviews #trailrunninglife #sheadventures #girlswhorun #naturetherapy #adventurereadyspirit (first three 📷: @__.jessicarae.__ )

A visit to the continental divide...a trail run that quickly blurred with mountaineering...that type of adventure that aches the knees but leaves you with an incredible high (or maybe it was the slight lack of oxygen)... _ #nmlff #nmlffundefine #trailrunning #trailsisters #outdoorwomen #womenwhorun #womenwhoexplore #sheadventures #snowepic #indianpeakswilderness #continentaldivide #writerslife #naturetherapy #runclimbeat #keepitwild

I’ve been practicing the art of the mid-run blurry photo (evidence). // Today I woke up with the intention to try my best. Based on my last month of training, I knew a @fastestknowntime was very possible for me. // I’m happy to report that I succeeded despite taking a bad fall only 0.5 mile from the end. // Route: (Full) Mesa Trail, fire gate to fire gate. I avoided the Mesa connector and stayed on the original Mesa Trail/road at the halfway point. // 2 hrs 17 min 36 sec // 13.5 miles. // 2575 ft of elevation (Strava isn’t so accurate. Last time I ran it, it said 2800 ft 🤷🏽‍♀️). // I’m very content today. _ EDIT: My submission was declined by the FKT people. I thought that due to a mileage technicality my effort would be valid over two other women (who did a slightly shorter version). I was wrong. // There’s always more work to do. // Sometimes your best is not enough. _ #trailsisters #outdoorwomen #womenwhorun #keepitwild #nmlff #writerslife #trailrunninglife #mesatrail @trail_sisters @nomanslandfilmfestival

Ain’t Yosemite, of course... ;) Trying to spend more quality time with Boulder, I guess. 📷: @__.jessicarae.__ _ #outdoorwomen #womenwhoclimb #womenwhoexplore #latinaoutdoors #keepitwild #nmlff #secondflatiron #writerslife #sheadventures #naturetherapy #bivytales #fortheloveofclimbing #womenwhorun

I missed you this Fall. But I’ll be back. _ #elcap #naturetherapy #liveyourart #yosemitenationalpark

If I were to liken running to painting or even my own writing, then I would imagine running as that blank page, particularly when I run alone and with no agenda. I stare at that page. And it isn’t a matter of waiting. I am with the page as it is and I echo it: empty and present. I do not ask the art to arrive, and I stare not because I do not know what else to do but because there is nothing else. Running is staring. Whether inward or outward, it is staring nonetheless. It is quality time housed in shared space. My mind and my body become in-tune extensions of the other and with deep, mutual intention. I spend my time there as long as is needed. In the end, I never know what has been painted until I know what the full spectrum of what it was to run meant. But running doesn’t always feel like art, maybe never. There are no expectations of it being more than quality time and quiet space. I accept and share and know that it is okay to be devoid; and it’s okay to pleasantly depart, to behold in equal acknowledgment my leaving and the possibility of nothing ever coming to the page. _ #writerslife #womenoutdoorwriters #outdoorwomen #trailsisters #womenwhorun #bivytales #nmlff #nmlffundefine #keepitwild #naturetherapy #sheexplores #liveyourart #runclimbeat

Ooo the texture. Have you looked up today? It’s actually overcast in Boulder right now, but I love this shot from a recent trip to Thailand. _ 📷: @heysarawrr #nmlff #outdoorwomen #womenwhoexplore #neverstopexploring #naturetherapy #writerslife #keepitwild #travel #skyporn #cloudporn #texture

Slab meditations. // We’ve heard that the simple act of walking helps the brain stay healthy, especially in old age. Cherish those steps, my friends. _ #bivytales #outdoorwomen #womenwhoexplore #nmlff #keepitwild #neverstopexploring #naturetherapy #liveyourart

“In being honest with myself, to live my life entirely based on passion would be holistically exhausting and rash. While I tend to choose passion over the monotonously practical, balance would require the exertion of both. The best thing about curiosity is that it can be whatever you want it to be. It is passive, neutral fodder for a spectrum of action ...” NEW POST on the blog by @heysarawrr wherein she briefly contemplates curiosity versus passion. // 📷: @eliza_earle _ #outdoorwomen #womenwhoexplore #nmlff #keepitwild #curiosityawaits #neverstopexploring #bivytales #naptime #dreamscape

A bit late, but, if you’re curious about the Red Rock Rendezvous, a spring climbing festival, @heysarawrr wrote a brief recap of the event in Las Vegas. Up on the site today! _ #redrockrendezvous2018 #bivytales #womenwhoexplore #keepitwild #naturetherapy #redrockcanyon #paiuteland #fortheloveofclimbing #sheexplores #sheadventures #springmountainranchstatepark @mountaingear

“No one I met in New York knew about the mountains I’d climbed. They didn’t necessarily know how to care about such feats; and when people do not comprehend your strength when measured in their own units, they cannot reflect your strength as such. I started to doubt what I had.” — @efollender // NEW contemplations on the site with Emma Follender, wherein she interprets the relationships between the outdoors and those who have survived abusive relationships.
