This poem was created during a two-hour run on Saturday after the 10k race. It was hard. Aunt Phoebe (my inner judge) was whining about the rain and my stomach discomfort. I was happy to have a mantra to silence her. YAY!

I’m curious what mantra, do you have on repeat? Feel free to share with us in the comments below.

Thank you for being here,

Saturday's training run at Green Lakes State Park delivered more than just miles. As Felicia and I weaved through the trails during my 20-mile preparation for my upcoming 50-miler, nature offered us an unforgettable gift.

I can't wait to tell you about it in this episode.

At yesterday’s in-person Run to Write club, we used this writing prompt: What is the first thing you bought with your own money?

Today’s story is inspired by this question.

Tell me, what is the first thing you bought with your own money?
