I was asked this week about what Trail Queens means to me. And are there even words? When I think of life I think of this. Here we are in all our rainbows. Whirling our way along the hillside, chirrups of greetings to our fellow bikers and runners Every Thursday we run out a door of commitments and dedication and plans and responsibility, into wide open expanses of conversation and connectedness and possibility. This week was an au-revoir for one of our beauts to her home country. Jeez I miss you already @mckinlayclare ! And instead of mourning what we'll miss every Thursday, I'm so heckin grateful for what we've built and what we remember you with 🏃‍♀️👑😘❤️🍃 #trailqueenthursdays #trailqueens #nowords #wellingtoniansinscotland https://www.instagram.com/p/B7-ie1HnvJjMESv_KB_XoxRYKceguUEOV9aEoc0/?igshid=svut4a1l1lph

Throwback to last Thursday with these legendary souls who kept high spirits (and excellent banter) when I took us a bit higher than I remembered, definitely more scrabbly than expected and some uhhhh moments when we clambered over tree branches along Tinakori. And then we swirled back through the Botanic Gardens which was magical. Also known as 'the one where my head is 20x the size of Dani' 😂 #neverboring #taper #ish #girlsquad #trailqueens https://www.instagram.com/p/B7-g6QSnzoBOinKKVapM00yCywsCAOUeSpbZt80/?igshid=rjur0l50o28b

THURSDAYS! I adore these people so. #lookoutworld #trailqueens #polhill #runventures #secondpolhillrunoftheday 😍 https://www.instagram.com/p/B7YNSGcHo_VlRBsTsDl40TpIBJ8Hf3eO6p4uJo0/?igshid=jktpj3sbflf8

Tonight we talked and beamed and laughed. We shared a million stories. We winced at the OH CRAP HELL NO situations and then awwwwww heck yes! at the others. We leapt in glee. We toasted marriage, birthdays, travels, apartments, study, jobs, presence. We admired this magical #woagd city. We drunk it all in as we went from one place to another winding our way from workplaces to waterfront to trails to hilltops and back again. And we ran. Running was the catalyst. One year ago it brought us together and almost every Thursday since we've talked and beamed and laughed and shared. Sure, it's the beginning and a way of consistency uniting us. But for everything else and in these beautiful moments it inspires: I'm so hecking grateful to count these treasures in my life, and to be in theirs. 🏃‍♀️☀️😘 #trailqueens #trailqueenthursdays #ifuckinglovethursdays https://www.instagram.com/p/B7F5iFOHveNc9u_iFSxXxZRwwVOdv9eAG2iEwo0/?igshid=1cvh7cktxy48q

Trail Queens go to the track! Very cool arvo hanging with these legends and our club family, including sharing the track with one of my ultra heroes Fi (ninja appearance in the background as she gets her little guy ready for the Santa race) ❤️💛 Racing one mile is so hard! #trailqueens #tracktalk #miler #or #onemile #wellingtononagoodday #WOAGD https://www.instagram.com/p/B6C0R4yHTNJXtDrbitiIFGOkAJZT9lVPSIOkxo0/?igshid=jvsk8r515os6
