Verrado Runner

Beautiful run with an approaching storm this morning. Just a short run so I curd get back for the premier episodes of Andor!

Do you ever tear up on a run just because it’s so stinkin’ magical? Ya me neither. Def not today. 😂 But it was one of those days where everything came together perfectly.

🌄 Great cloud over over me but the eastern horizon was clear so the sun had a clear shot at the mountains
🌿 Just finished a podcast about the peace and tranquillity in Disney’s Animal Kingdom
🎶 Put on some runspo music (I find my inspiration and motivation in my soundtrack. Today it was country-rap. Maybe it’s just me but I’m pretty sure it’s a thing.)
💦 There was a light mist. Not a sprinkle. Just enough of a falling mist to catch the light from the sun’s flare.
🏜 The beauty of nature around me was overwhelming.

Just one of those perfect moments. 🥲

I took on a ℍ𝕌𝔾𝔼 challenge this Weekend.  When you look at the ᴡʜɪᴛᴇ ᴛᴀɴᴋ ᴍᴏᴜɴᴛᴀɪɴꜱ here in Arizona, you can see a set of antennas on the highest peak.  Yeah, I wanted to run up there.  𝕄𝕚𝕤𝕤𝕚𝕠𝕟 𝕒𝕔𝕔𝕠𝕞𝕡𝕝𝕚𝕤𝕙𝕖𝕕!
