Child's pose is about all I can manage this morning #tired ☕️

Remembering 100 glorious miles through the dusty desert. Thanks to @aravaiparunning for an awesome #jj100 event this year!! Fill towel with ice, adjust sunglasses, run to the next aid station, repeat 🏃👍☀️💦😎

First run/walk after the #jj100 Feels good to be back on the run (even if it is in the shadow of the Dallas North Tollway) #running @altrarunning ones! @enduranceplanet in my👂
