Sometimes you want to go, But your body rebels and says “no”. You show up anyway And give what you’ve got for that day. You soak it all in, The ocean views and dirt on your chin, Hot sun blazing down and you can’t help but grin. You share a few words with those around, Shuffles up hills and words of encouragement abound. Muscles become tired and sore, The hamstrings, quads, and calves bemoan “You want more?!” Then you enter the last 3 miles downhill, And what courses through you is an electric thrill. You sprint through the finish as fast as you can, And appreciate your family, your running clan. Tough Mugu was indeed tough, as it always is. Third place woman 🥉 Another great effort in the training block. #trailrunning #toughmugu25k #socaltrail #trailbae #icebra #rawr #someworkallplay #swap
