New #races 🏃🏻‍♀️new #places ⛰ and many new #faces 😁 Do what you #love with your #tribe ✌️ • • • Being a #trailnewbie today was #awesome I #raced I #ran I got #dirty and #lost 😯 but I loved every minute of it! • • #utah your #beauty is #unparralled and your #runningcommunity is the #best • • • #run4fun #utahisrad #trailrunning #trailgirl #mountains #dowhatyoulove #liverorun #runtolive #teamsparkle #runlikeagirl #autoimmunewarrior

Sometimes ya just gotta worry less and hike more. ⛰😁 • • I’m #grateful to have endless #trails 10 minutes from my front door. We always #hike as a #family this time of year so it’s been #challenging to be #injured and stay down in the #valleys • • Thankfully, I’ve got a very experienced #hikergirl who’s #happy to get up early with me and #beattheheat • • #beautifulutah #timetogether #utahisrad #moutaingirls #hikergirls #dowhatyoulove #justkeepmoving #utahtrails #callieliz #makingmemories #motherdaughtertime

Life does not get better by #chance it gets better by #change and actually doing something about any situation you don't like. • • Everyone has a #turningpoint but only you can decide if you're ready to change. These pictures were taken exactly 8 years years apart and feature my oldest and youngest child at the same age. The physical differences might be easy to spot, but the mental and emotional growth inside is much harder to see. • • In 2010, I was attempting to treat #crohns disease without medication. I hated the side effects #medication brought on and was struggling to figure how to succeed without it. • • When I truly cleaned up my food by switching to a fresh #wholefoods diet and avoiding sugar, dairy and grains, I slowly started to feel better. • • Feeling better allowed my gut to calm down and helped me run father and train longer, slowly building endurance and balancing my over-active immune system. It was hard then, and some days it still is, but the difference I feel means I'm never going back because now I don't want to. • • Change is #uncomfortable because it requires ACTion and Action Changes Things. The first step is usually #scary and always the hardest. • • However, #sacrifice in the beginning brings greater rewards in the end and allows the #process to keep repeating itself. It's now a #newweek what do you want to change? • • #motivationmonday #changeisgood #findyourreason #ibd #eattolive #runtolive #livetorun #nevergiveup #dohardthings #runhundredambassadors

“The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” —Gandhi • • #tbt to my very first 26.2, the Utah Valley Marathon, 5 years ago this weekend. 🏃🏻‍♀️ • • Saturday I had the opportunity to volunteer at the same race that made me a #marathoner and changed me forever, setting me on the path to #Boston. • • Handing out water for 6 hours at the very last aide station, I was #inspired by all the runners who persevered with courage and heart, 💗 traveling 13.1 or 26.2 miles (despite the crazy heat) to make their goals a reality. I hope to be joining you again soon! ✌🏻 #runwithheart #runnersofinstagram #marathon #dowhatyoulove #giveback #inspiration #service #runnergirl #utahvalleymarathon

The best part about memories is making them 💗🤩 • • Girls on the Run seeks to empower girls to dream, achieve and better the lives of themselves and others. • • It’s been a privilege to share this program and experience with my daughter and other extraordinary girls the last 3 months. 🌸💖 • • #gotr #girlpower #capablegirls #strongwomen #girlswhorun #runnergirl #motherdaughter #5krun #teamsparkle #oisellevolée #dowhatyoulove #changetheworld #giveback #bethechange
