My Medal Monday is finding me holding a medal I never thought I would...I ran a 25k trail race last weekend. There was over 3000 ft of elevation change, and it was snowing and sleeting the entire 17.5 miles. My legs don't seem to like running as much as they used to, but those 2 hours and 46 minutes gave me time to think, and I realized that even though my health hasn't been the best these past few months, that I can do things if I put my mind to them. Plus, I came in 4th. . I also didn't have to worry about people cheating on burpees, but still placing ahead of me on the podium. No one cheated on an obstacle and still beat me. No one cut course and still beat me. That was pretty awesome. . Love running in my Altras and Grit Army compression socks. I was pretty cozy in my 2xu gear. Much love. . #godisgood #trailrunning

And as soon as I was done, I wanted to do it again. . Had on my fave @altrarunning shoes, and my @gritarmy socks never shifted, didn't tear, and did not need changing. I never thought about the importance of what is on my feet until I needed the best boots for the Army and the best shoes and socks for running. . #godisgood #ultra #runner #distance #neverquit #teacher #mom #wife #spartan #ocr #aroo

🦄Just a lady with her new glasses...🦄 . Gonna try this gym thing to see how my body handles it. I'm definitely not feeling like myself and these past two months have been a struggle. . To have the support means a lot. I'll keep y'all updated. . #godisgood #keepgoing

Anyone else ever had a great training session, then got into your vehicle and searched desperately for anything edible? These nuggets gems=winning! . #godisgood #teacher #mom #spartan #wife #HANGRY

Sometimes, your greatest victories come out of your greatest struggles. To some, it may seem like it's "just a race", but to those of us who have pushed, talked to God and pleaded to just keep going, and crossed the finish line, it'll never be "just a race". . #godisgood #neverquit #teacher #mom #tennessee

This is the only fire jump I've ever doubted I'd actually make it over since I first started this crazy fire-jumping life! . Knowing I'd been passed by two other elite runners did bum me out, but I knew I'd be on the podium, and that's NOT what this smile was about. . I was about to finish, and it was everyone along the way, including an elite male UB runner I don't know who talked to me the entire last mile or so, who wouldn't let me stop, who encouraged me even though I was near crying with every step. . After running my first Ultra Beast, and experiencing some tough issues with my legs (hopefully some bloodwork can help me figure out what happened) that slowed me down A LOT, the elation I felt here was incredible. . Y'all were right. I'll definitely run another one..or three...or more. . #godisgood #thanksgiving #firejump #winning
