I'm inspired by your country roads and connections to nature, Julie! Nature keeps me going when the heat and the miles pile up. xo

An inspiring piece! The "unforgiving concrete " makes me smile with recognition that last summer i trained on soft paths for a 2 day hike on granite. Mentally and physically I was caught off-guard. Train well, dear friend.

Yes, training in the right elements is so helpful. That being said, I'm gonna hide in the shade in August until the cooler days come again. It's pretty gruesome even in the early mornings. Thank you for your encouragement! xo
