#AWESOMENESS π @shelbytueffers. Just another one of those girls who had her race canceled due to COVID. I had signed up for a trail 50k because I wanted to challenge myself and am someone who always feels better when iβm tapping into my potential (which usually just means a whole lot of type two fun). I hadnβt raced or tried a new distance in forever and I was missing it. When my race was canceled I had already done most of my training and I knew I needed to somehow still run the distance or Iβd bear myself up over not finishing and quitting. However, nothing about running a 50k alone excited me, and I knew I needed to find a way to run the distance in a way that excited me. It didnβt end with a finish line and finishers medal, but it did end with cold watermelon, a full heart, and two badass inspiring friends. The day also included wild flowers, 31.65 miles of views, alpine lake swimming, a whole lot of trying to breathe at 9,000 ft of elevation and so many strangers cheering us on along the way. Pretty sure this ended up being the better way to check off the 50k box. Thank you @kamrinsorensen and @stephanie.white for being the best partners in crime. It wouldnβt have happened without friends who are just my kind of crazy. Ready to start planning our next big adventure with a 3:30am wake up. #montana #beartoothmountains #beatenpath #50k #lastbestplace #justdoit #choosemountains #trailrunning #running #runhappy #correpe (at Beaten Path) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDffDr2H099/?igshid=1l7xf2asl540r
