Really setting the bar for the courageous behavior worthy of a Nobel Peace Prize 🏆 🥰

Today marks #WorldMentalHealthDay (although that should be every day) - if you are struggling please talk to someone about it. Messages are always open to anyone - I may not have all the answers but I can listen and help where I can. You matter - and you can and WILL get there ❤️

Sending you warm fuzzies and happy vibes. Hang in there and good luck with your run effort strategies.

Good to see you’re feeling better and smashing it Johnty 🥰

Selfie of me in gym after 8 km run in mended green sports top so boob doesn’t pop out as strap clasp wasn’t staying put. 🤭 My dark, wet, sweaty hair let down from ponytail, flushed freckled complexion, smiling, shining hazel eyes.

Dinner fuel. Grilled beef delmonico 🥩 (butterflied it across two portions for even grilling), grilled yellow and orange brown peppers, mound of brown rice atop white plate. This is my husband’s steak portion.

#5KADay 494 #running 8 km late Thursday afternoon. 46:40 continuous 🏃‍♀️5:41 fastest km, 5’50” avg pace - arm abrasion still stings badly at faster speeds & mending my knees too apparently. Moving plans in high gear too. 😬 Trying to b zen #Runsky #Fitsky In the U.S. beef delmonico🥩 is great fuel value

Ah, I sure hope today is a better day Anna.

I always run with my narrow rape whistle (stalkers hate loud noises), which I’ve used twice, + my phone (find my phone) + an air tag. Once a guy on one of those big zoom wheels stopped for me in Seattle to make sure another man stopped following me.

my Seattle practice recommends someone in your area?

I imagine after three marathons so close together that you are feeling pretty rough. I definitely suggest seeing a PhD Physical Therapist as opposed to winging it if that’s possible. Invaluable support that really helps fitness progress, breathing and quality of life overall. Want me to see if…

#5KADay 493 #running 8.8k Wednesday switching back to running daytime. Arm still healing. Accidentally went well over 14k run/walk daily challenge distance on walking errands. Want to recoup for faster runs. 5:35 fastest km, 5’59” avg pace, ample cool down pace. #Runchat #Runsky

My cost savings short cuts basically bring the cost down around 2/3rds to near half.

I can’t do much milk. Since women can’t intake as much fat/sugar per gram of protein, whey protein is a game changer, but many don’t come in plain. Simply Tera’s organic grass fed is ~ $34 for only 12 ounces at local stores. It’s outrageous how expensive everything is right now.

My trick for saving on whey protein powder is I get a bulk organic store bag from #NaturalGrocer (gritty, doesn’t dissolve well) and I mix it 1:1 with Tera organics whey protein powder that I often find on sale online. It brings the cost per serving whey down for a daily food staple. America 🛟

See you 👍, we’ll still see the runners beside/behind u

Ah, so this is when girls are “children under 18” and not young women?
America: 12 yr old girl has prevalent mammary glands, so let’s go with “underage”
Also America: We want to ban free choice and free speech so these teens are “children” for banning books and reading audiences

Article headline from Becker’s Payer Issues “California bill eliminating ‘redundant’ prior authorization barriers signed into law”

“California Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed a bill into law allowing the state’s Department of Managed Health Care to waive prior authorizations for services or prescriptions that payers approve at least 90% of the time. Senate Bill 306 also requires health plans to report prior authorization data. The bill was supported by the California Medical Association, which said the law will help “eliminate redundant prior authorization barriers.” This law is a decisive step toward ending wasteful prior authorization practices that too often delay or deny patients the care they need,” CMA President Shannon Udovic-Constant, MD, said in an Oct. 7 news release. “By cutting out redundant requirements and increasing accountability, SB 306 puts patients’ health above paperwork.”

In the States, where u live informs your human rights and access to quality medical care. I’ve been flying from Denver to SEA to not deal with double combo of neurology waitlists and long process to get injections approved under a new doctor. California just made medical insurance harassment harder🥰

Yep, ppl who demand respect from a uniform while constantly breaking ethical, legal, and policy guidelines is why ACAB exists in all communities. I’ll show you rampant abuse in any profession that has a low rate of women. Where misogyny thrives, brutality and abuse do too.

Thank you. Running is a huge mood regulator for me that I rely on. Ppl in the running community here on 🦋 and my physical therapist and immunologist helped me with everything over the basic 5K run + fitness walking.

Chipping away at clearing out fridge, freezer & pantry for move. Small bags of organic brown and black rice cost 💲 6.50 - 9.00 in the states so we’ll pack up anything pricey not in glass. In Seattle we donated everything, but prices are too high now & food banks do better with bulk pricing/units.

Post run fuel, family dinner. Simmered tomatoes with chicken stock, spices and fresh garlic, folded in fresh chopped power greens at the end and then folded that in to freshly cooked andouille sausage and folded that in with fresh mushroom stuffed pasta. Ground meats are rare for us. Tasty.

Yes, the health care industry is the type of exploitation that shows how bipartisan corruption against citizens for lobbying and profit is and this is how cultists got primed for Trump, even though he’s one of the biggest white collar criminals and sex offenders to win at U.S. corrupt capitalism.

In many states - while the police/sheriffs are always gangs - they hadn’t quite hit peak deplorable kkk infiltration status. Now all the rejects are in ICE and CBP on the fat & failed psych eval bobby joe DEI hiring program, they let andre in too if they take the blood oath to honor yt supremacy.

That’s right. Wise choice too. We didn’t live together before we got married. I’m fiercely independent. Obviously very different with children.

Dinner fuel Monday for two:
large grilled bone in pork chop and grilled local farmed corn. We really eat corn b/c it’s so starchy. Real treat.

#5KADay 491 #running Monday was 9K fartlek, still on late schedule after half marathon 🏃‍♀️rebound. Arm abrasion still stinging, knee still chattering, trying to hit 14.01k run/walk October 14-day challenge before we hit the road for California move. So many moving parts it’s stressful #Runchat #Runsky

Great pacing 👏

What a feast! We try for at least one date a week, but we also include our dog park fitness walk jaunts. Which I think counts. We also play games. I’ll count farmers markets jaunts too but only if we don’t return with groceries. Shopping never counts.

Teasing Americans with pictures of your high quality affordable groceries. 🥰 A significant number of Americans don’t even know that “organic” in a majority of countries and not something to search for on a label, let alone just the basic grocery price and not an added premium cost.
