I didn't think I'd run the Rose Bowl Half-Marathon this year ... The reason I did breaks my heart, but something good came out of it as well

New #running post on Where is the bear? today! All about the #RoseBowlHalfMarathon and why I almost didn't run it.

Well, this is a surprise! I beat my fastest time by around 13 seconds!!! 😲 #RoseBowlHalfMarathon

I DID IT!!! #RoseBowlHalfMarathon complete!!! ❤️🏃🏼‍♀️😄 #running

About to #run the #RoseBowlHalfMarathon! Let’s gooooooooo!!!

Rainy three-mile #run today before tomorrow’s #RoseBowlHalfMarathon. I saw this lovely hawk on the way!

Chilly 7.5-mile #run today to the gym and back. I wanted to get one more arm/ab workout in before I calm down a bit for Sunday's #RoseBowlHalfMarathon. Today's pic is #BridalVeilFall in #Yosemite. Stay tuned for today's Where is the Bear? post about it!

Lovely early morning 7.5-mile #run to the gym and back after a quick three yesterday. Getting ready for next weekend's #RoseBowlHalfMarathon! Also, hello from this adorable coyote state at @firefallranch in #Yosemite! (I'm home now, but he was so cute!)

Cloudy morning #run of 7.5 miles, which took me to the gym and back. My arms and abs are very mad at me, but if I'm going to have to work today, I'm very glad I moved my body before endlessly sitting. :)

Two weeks until the #RoseBowlHalfMarathon!

Easy 12-mile #run today! Still sore, but it felt fantastic to be back out for a longer one! #RoseBowlHalfMarathon coming up next!

OH MY GOD, I just saw the official results for the #RoseBowlHalfMarathon this morning and I beat my record by MORE than I thought! I usually don't post times, but I'm really proud of this!

I DID IT! I cut 11 minutes off of my fastest time for a new #PR! 😄🏃🏼‍♀️💖 #RoseBowlHalfMarathon
