This was us yesterday anxiously awaiting the arrival of power.

Because honestly, it was starting to get toasty out and little perimenopausal Kimmie was getting cranky.
____

Around 6pm last night the power DID in fact come on AND stay on.

So the sweet sweet hum of the generator has stopped.

The skyline is a bit different than before.

And holy wow the back neighbor’s flood light is BRIGHT when there’s minimal trees between our yards.

I hope this storm taught everyone that regular yard maintenance is pretty important and second, the first 72 are on you.

The amount of people obsessed and fixated on power returning has been eye opening.

When the zombies come, most of Pensacola will likely be wiped out - especially if it happens in July/August 🤣

Did I want the power back, sure!

But I just laid on the back deck in the shade and relaxed.
_____

All in all, back to regularly scheduled shenanigans.

How to come back from a 6 day hiatus from posting after a hurricane that no one can pronounce smashes into your city.

Overwhelming is the best way to describe the last few days.

And of course this stupid storm can’t work a 9-5.

He comes after business hours on Friday, ruins everyone’s weekend and then we all have to go back to work on Monday power be damned.

Technically some people Columbus Day off so they get a reprieve.
_____

I’m 97% sure there are woodland creatures living in my hair right now building nests with sawdust and sticks.

But that’s a problem for when I have hot water to shower.
_____

For two people who have a lot of hurricanes under their belts, we did alright.

It’s not our experience that saved our house from getting whacked.

But preemptively taking 23 trees off this lot 5 years ago helped a whole hell of a lot.

Technically only 1.5 of the trees that fell were ours. (0.5 because the giant oak was on the property line)

But the other 3 came from other people’s yards. People who did absolutely nothing to help clean up. Or even go “oopsie poopsie our trees fell in your yard, how can we help?”

Don’t worry, when that new fence bill comes due, I know the doors I’m knocking on.
_____

But right now my street looks very post apocalyptic.

Piles of debris line the roads. You can see straight into yards that were very used to their privacy but their fence is now 3 houses down.

The darkness that comes when the power is out and light pollution is gone is incredible.

Hello STARS!

And then the sweet hum of the gas generators apparently puts me to sleep like a baby.

Or it might be the 10 hour physical labor days giving me that sweet sweet 90+ sleep score.
_____

Regardless, Hurricane Isaias - 10/10 does not recommend, no stars.

10/05/2026

Was this the view from yesterday’s bridge run?

Absolutely not.

At this point yesterday we were in a bit of a monsoon. No lightning though!

So we just kept running.

As quick as the wall of rain came, it went away.

And left us muggy 😑
______

Carb Dope has been my go to for fueling lately.

Brian got me turned on to it.

It’s drinkable - no chaser needed.

It’s not overly sweet. Has a hint of lemon.

And 45g of a glucose/fructose blend.

Now if only TSA will stop flagging my bag when I travel with more than 2 of them 🙄

I’m 99% Brian has a referral code if anyone wants to try them!
______

PS: they also make electrolyte powder and carb powder so you can be your own mad scientist and make your personalized fueling concoction.

I’m having a bit of a moment.

I feel very 🥔 and when I was asked what motivates me, literally not much came to mind.

I’m like…I want to be healthy and not suffer chronic diseases.

And well, that’s accomplished.

While I don’t want to look like a 🥔 … I also like cheese and nerd clusters.

And while I’m closer to 200lbs than I am to 100lbs (as I should be at 5’8”) I can’t help but be like “ew” in some photos.

Can I move my body and run 100 milers in my current state - absolutely.

And I think that’s where I get stuck.

Because I can do all the things I like and want to do IN this body as is.

It would be more motivating if I couldn’t.

And that’s effed up.

I need to lose 10lbs of fat and reassess this situation.

Less ew and more yay in my life.

I guess that means less nerd clusters and more…beef jerky?

Not blaming my lack of motivation on Addie Mae…but it was much easier to wake up and run without a dog.

Because she’ll cry at the door and wake up Brian that I left her. So I always bring her with me.

Still movement, but not what’s going to help me build endurance.

I could do garage workouts in the am. But again, I have to be careful I don’t dome the dog with a weight.

*sigh I know I can’t be the only one in this boat

Did I just come back from the best race? Yes.

Did I already have a treat yo self bougie pedicure lined up for my return?

Also yes.

As a trail runner, the last thing you want are giant calluses that start to slide and tear away from soft skin underneath.

Trust me, you can google some images where whole calluses rip off feet and it will ruin your day.

So I go to my girl Candy who makes my feet feel like a million bucks.

She also gives the best hot stone massages on my calves.

A little relaxation time to read and let someone else work on me.

I do still maintain my footcare in between visits. Gotta keep that healthy feet streak alive!

The only issues I’ve ever had was a minor tiny blister here and there from kicking something.

And you never know, maybe one day I’ll start selling feet photos on the internet and quit my day job.

So I gotta keep these puppies cute!

Women’s Epic Deer Valley was an incredible event!

1000 women all just there to have fun and be surrounded by other badass women.

Huge sponsors - No Bull, Kodiak, Nike ACG, Garmin, and Tru Fru!

Which meant great swag!

I love trying to fly home with an extra bag of Kodiak granola and 57 Tru Fru packs 🤣
_____

But seriously, I’m adding these events to my annual calendar!

And next year I want you to come with me! Once the dates are set? I’ll let you know which event I will be at and we’ll get that team growing!

And I’ll tell you what, having only women on course - SO supportive!

Everyone was telling everyone they were doing great or they were amazing or beautiful.

So many outfit compliments.

Literally, the perfect race for women to feel comfortable and be who they want to be without judgement or fear.

Now I wish I could make the Ogden race next month. FOMO is real 🙈

09/25/2026

The last time I ran in Utah was back in December at Quad Keyah.

It was a wee bit chilly!

This time I’m looking at highs in the upper 60s.

I might not come home 🤷🏼‍♀️
_____

Women’s Epic is this weekend!

Straight up the mountain and then bomb back down. My kind of mountain.

Only a 10k.

Pretty stoked for peak 🍂 season.
_____

If you’re in the area, you can find me later today at the Nike + Garmin Shakeout Run.

Come run with me!

Try out some Nike ACGs or take a new Garmin for a spin.
_____

If you can’t make it this year, who wants to come run with me next year??

Like this clearance plant, sometimes all we need is something simple - like water.

Technically these self watering planters are s**t and I have scored more half off plants from them than anything else.

Just repotted them and boom, fresh beginnings!
_____

Humans like to over complicate things.

“I don’t feel well” turns into a 47 pill supplement regimen, gallons of water, some crystals, and a new face cream.

When maybe all we needed was a little more fiber and a little less soda.

Sometimes we truly do need an environment adjustment.

But most of the time we just need to add something beneficial.

Fiber to you might be like water to this peace lily.

Just the thing you need to perk right back up.

09/23/2026

I don’t have much to say but enjoy the little things!

Yesterday we left out for our family walk only to be greeted by an amazing double rainbow!

It’s hard to see the top one but I promise you it was there!

I couldn’t stop staring at it until it disappeared into the skyline.

09/22/2026

What did I get myself into?!

Here’s the course for the “just a 10k” I kept telling everyone to sign up for 😬

There’s plenty of time to get up this massive hill and then bomb back down it!

I probably should have done some more climbing…

Although I did climb 13,000 feet a little bit ago with my 100 miler 🤷🏼‍♀️
_____

Who will I see in Park City this weekend??
