Rare run before work for this #motherrunner, but the best way to enjoy the cherry blossoms is without the crowds, which were growing by 7:15/7:30 am. #BAMR #getoutside

Absolutely blue bird #sundayrunday for this #motherrunner, followed by a pedicure and a nice long walk in a park I love while listening to trees creak in the wind and watching white caps on the water. #happy #BAMR #getoutside

Got out in the cold sun this morning for my weekly run and chat with my local mom friends. A few are coming back from injuries so we took it easy but that was fine because we had great views and more time for coffee. 🏃🏻♀️☕️ #motherrunner #BAMR #runsky #getoutside

This #sundayrunday was a hot slog but I got it done and got to catch up with @msdarthmikeshair.bsky.social when it was over. #motherrunner #BAMR #runsky #getoutside

A woman smiling after a sunny bike ride.
Since the snow and ice have melted and I’m not trying to see around snow banks when I turn, got back out on the bike today for a #sundayrunday recovery ride after my long run with friends yesterday. #motherrunner #BAMR #runsky #fitnesssky
A woman smiling after a 10K run.
The sidewalks and streets are finally mostly clear and it’s 50° today and it’s supposed snow 4-5 inches tomorrow so this is a Saturday edition of #sundayrunday. #grateful #motherrunner #BAMR #getoutside
A woman smiling after completing a hike.
On this #sundayrunday I hiked 3.5 miles to the beach and back. Very hilly but great views! #motherrunner #BAMR #runsky #getoutside
A woman smiling after a cold but sunny run.
Is that a post-run glow or the Vaseline she applied to protect her cheeks from the icy wind on this #sundayrunday? Both! #motherrunner #BAMR #runsky #getoutside
Kudos to a few of my friends who met up to run in -6° with wind gusts up to 60 mph this morning. I decided last night I was not doing that to myself first thing Saturday morning, so stayed in bed and am heading to a massage at 10 instead. #motherrunner

Brooks Cascadia trail shoes that work just as well in snow as they do on the trail.
I enjoyed a slow and snowy #sundayrunday thanks to my waterproof trail shoes and 2.25 miles of plowed roadway. #motherrunner #BAMR #runsky #getoutside
A woman smiling after a winter run.
This old girl is too congested for a proper #sundayrunday. Joined my youngest for his run and decided that was it for me. Nose was not cooperating. Still enjoyed the cold fresh air! #motherrunner #BAMR #runsky #getoutside
Splits from an enjoyable 10K.
Enjoyed a sunny, relaxed 10K before the gale force winds set in. #sundayrunday #motherrunner #BAMR
A woman smiling after a 5 mile run.
Saw two foxes, exchanged pleasantries with a beautiful German Shepherd, and generally enjoyed the sun on my face and the cold air in my nose and chest. Realized I had negative splits except for mile 4. #grateful #sundayrunday #runsky #motherrunner #BAMR
2026 is a big year for me so I decided to do a big thing and make a return to running with the Detroit International Half. #RunJuliaRun #MotherRunner

Planned a trail run today but opted for a paved trail due to rain overnight. 8.25 beautiful miles on this #sundayrunday. #motherrunner #BAMR #runhappy #runsky

I just got this photo of me crossing the finish line of my recent 25K trail race over the weekend and the smile says it all. #runhappy #motherrunner

Squeezed in what I could today and enjoyed a nice breeze when it decided to blow. #sundayrunday #motherrunner #BAMR #runsky
A woman smiling after a run because it’s over and she’s in an air conditioned house.
Just because I’m smiling doesn’t mean this wasn’t brutal. What was supposed to be a nice, slow, long recovery run turned into a hot and humid slog after mile 8. Had to walk a bit but I got it done. #motherrunner #BAMR #sundayrunday #runsky
A woman smiling on her porch after running the junk out of her legs.
Nice and easy recovery run on this #sundayrunday. With this and a little yoga I should be right as rain. #motherrunner #BAMR #runsky
A woman smiling after a run.
I wanted to run about double this distance today but this was all I had time for. My first 25K race is next weekend. #sundayrunday #motherrunner #BAMR #getoutside

Muddy and wet running shoes.
This #sundayrunday #trailrun was a hot and humid doozy. Muddy from rain and ran out of water 8 miles in so had to walk 3 to swear less and run the last 1 back to my car where I had more water waiting. I think I sweat out the 2L I drank during that first 8. #motherrunner #BAMR #getoutside
A woman smiling after her weekly long run.
Decided to do my #sundayrunday long run on Saturday so tomorrow I can do #sundayfunday with my family while we’re on vacation. #motherrunner #BAMR #trailrunning
A screen shot of stats from a 10 mile trail run plus a 1 mile hike to warm up and cool down.
Today’s #sundayrunday trail run was a hot and humid struggle on rocky and rooty terrain with a number of downed trees to go over or under. Took my time and got it done. #motherrunner #BAMR #fitnesssky #runnersky

Still not a morning person. #motherrunner #BAMR

Got out early for a trial long #trailrun on this #sundayrunday. Good prep for my first 25k trail race on 8/9. #motherrunner #BAMR #runsky #fitnesssky
