What’s your word? 🤷🏻‍♀️ We all have a story, and it’s important to keep telling it. • • Eighteen years ago through the grace of God, an inspired dear friend intervened on the day I chose to end my life. Divine intervention and miracles are real! 💗 • • Through her assistance, I was finally able to get counseling and medical help for childhood trauma and severe postpartum depression. • • I remained on that medication for over 12 years as it helped me function and find happiness again. Now healthy, I can’t imagine living without my husband, daughters and last 3 children, who would’ve never been born had I taken my life. • • I’m grateful for the love and support I receive from them and the solidarity among my children today to help spread awareness and de-stigmatize mental health problems. • • Thank you @yourtribeclothing for helping so many find their voice. 💗 • • • #keepingitreal #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #healing #hope #joy #peace #family #lds #5khero #morethanprayers #projectsemicolon #determination #inclusivity #expression #creativity #resilience #runningonresilience

Whenever I think it might be a little cold on my run, I try to remember it could always be worse 😩🥶⛄️ Week 2 training is in the books 👌 • • #worldscoldestcities #longwinters #januaryblahs #coldruns #shortdays #marathontraining #boston #road2boston #runfast #runslow #runwithfriends #justrun #mountainviews #wasatchfront #trailsandpavement #yesimcold #keepacoolhead #nanohydr8

New year, new milestones 💫 • • Ordinations, graduations, homecomings and who knows what else is in store. 🤷🏻‍♀️ • • Change is an opportunity for improvement and new adventures. These kids are growing and I’m grateful for who they choose to be. • • #familytime #memories #grateful #change #growth #opportunity #authenticity #lds #ordination #ldsmissionary #missionarymom #onlymissingone #southeastasia #besttimeisfamilytime #kindkids #lovemykids

A New Year, a new race and brand new goals! 🤗 • • Who said running’s no fun?

Ending 2018 with gratitude, and just a little closer to heaven💗🏔 • • • “O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained...” Psalms 8:1-3 • • • #beautifulutah #trailsisters #glorious #serenity #solitude #reflection #gratitude #lifeelevated #joy #summitviews #peakbagging #rejuvenation #trailrunners #wasatchmountains #getoutside #trailsandpavement #newyearseve #nanohydr8

Same runner, same distance, same state, but completely different climates. 🏔❄️🏜☀️ • • Utah is an amazingly diverse and scenic state! It’s beauty and grandeur are truly unique. What a difference a 3.5 hour drive, 3,500 feet in elevation, 36 hours and 30° can make. • • #beautifulutah #getoutside #utah #lifeelevated #runyearround #climatediversity #roads #trails #utahtrails #alpinemountains #redrockdesert #winterrunning #trailsandpavement #wasatchfront #thisiswherewerun #gratitude #myhappyplace #runnergirl #trailmom #mybackyard #exploreyourworld #teamsparkle #nanohydr8 #chaseyourdreams

The kids thought today’s trail was appropriately named. 🙄 • • In my defense, the trail description was misleading. 🤦🏽‍♀️ • • • #trailrunning #sandytrails #redrock #hellholecanyon #beautifulutah #momfail #nowhining #runanyway #runanywhere #suckitupbuttercup #dohardthings #trailsandpavement #sunshine #warmweather #hikingfam #happymom #nanohydr8 #senitasisters #keepacoolhead

Where does the time go? I don’t want this to end. Where does the time go? Let’s hang on to the moment we’re in... 💗Great Big World • • • 18 years of joy and adventures. Happy Birthday Bethany, your life has been a remarkable gift 🎁 • • • #thebigone #celebrate #joy #curious #adventure #giving #capable #freethinker #indominablespirit #mandarinchinese #bilingual #intelligent #worldtraveler #dreambig #changetheworld #daughter #childofgod #loveher

“The greatest weapon against stress is our ability to choose one thought over another...” William James • • Cold, snow, early darkness and too much time indoors always makes me SAD. 😐 Seasonal Affective Disorder hits me every year when the temps drop and weather turns sour. While 4-seasons are beautiful, I struggle to stay emotionally well as winter days drag on. • • Three years ago instead of hibernating all winter and running on the treadmill, I opted to do something about my seasonal depression and set a goal to start running outside and even signed up for a winter race. • • I still hate the cold, but even slipping around on snowy trails with other like-minded ‘sole-sisters’ really helps me cope. While I can’t change the weather, I can choose to do something about how I feel and exercise really helps. If you struggle during winter too, I invite you to move a little more as well. Set a goal, make some changes, take small baby-steps, but just move. I promise it helps. ✌️ • • • #seasonalaffectivedisorder #notawinterfan #coldwinter #getoutside #seenature #justmove #youcanchoose #keepingitreal #runnergirl #runnersofinsta #solesisters #trailrunning #utahtrails #trailchicks #peakbagging #runningonresilience #wasatchmountains #mentalhealth #5khero #trailsandpavement #thisiswherewerun #wmwranglers #senitasisters #crohns #hashimotos #nanohydr8 #keepacoolhead

“Every birthday is a gift..” Aretha Franklin 💝 • • There are certain individuals born into this world that make it a better place; and my sweetheart is such a person. • • Happy Birthday Chris 🎂🎉 thank you for helping me become a better person and making the last 24 years phenomenal! • • #birthdayboy #bestpersoniknow #smart #hardworking #kind #funny #loving #excellentfather #tall #handsome #givesback #canfixanything #fatheroffive #faithful #putsupwithme #grateful #lovehim
