So, Marc took me out to face one of my fears today: single-track mountain biking. 🌲. Double-track dirt? No prob. But single-track?? Those trees are too close! Shouldn’t there be warning signs about those turns? And my goodness, watch out for those roots! 😮. . Can I tell you how awesome it is to have a partner who doesn’t let on if he minds when you decide to walk certain parts of the path? Who tells you he just wants you to take it easy so your first attempt is a pleasant one? That helped so much! 😍. . And what also helped was me giving myself permission to do it on my terms. To push myself just enough and to still recognize where I needed more skills to stay safe... and to not care what anyone else on the trail thought of me. For me, that was huge. 👍. . Did you do anything physical outside your comfort zone this weekend? Or did you have a moment that let you get over what other people think and just enjoy being in your body? 😊 . #bike #mountainbike #getoutside #optoutside #playoutside #thisiswhyiworkout #bodypositive #freedom (at Duthie Hill Mountain Bike Park)
Breathe in - hold for a sec - breathe out... 🌲... Here’s a little moment of serenity from our Twin Falls hike today. 😊. . #bodymindspirit #hikeseattle #getoutside #optoutside (at Upper Twin Falls)

Photo by @idee_explores | “Let my armies be the rocks, and the trees, and the birds in the sky.” . This quote is attributed to Charlemagne in an Indiana Jones movie, but a journalist at ThoughtCo checked and couldn’t find any confirmation of the attribution. Still, the quote perfectly fits Harrison Ford's film as well as it fits this shot of majestic Indianhead Mountain - a beautiful landmark rising above autumn foliage and a chilly Adirondack valley lake. 🍁🍂
