Hello, I am Lucy! I decided to create this blog to showcase some of my favorite running trails and races in Virginia. My passion for running started in 2020. I had just graduated college and was struggling with my mental health. I was looking for ways to improve my overall wellbeing and I decided to try running again, something I loved as a child but had forgotten about. At first, my goal was to simply leave my house everyday and run a mile, however, I quickly fell in love with the sport and the way it made me feel.
Moving my body everyday and setting goals for myself helped me feel happy again and gave me a new outlook on life. What started as a promise to myself became something that I genuinely looked forward to. Before long, I was challenging myself to run further and try new things that I never thought I would
Six years later, I am still running almost everyday and have raced in multiple marathons and ultramarathons. More importantly, I have built a community through running and found many other people that have the same passion and energy that I do for this sport.
My goal for this page is to share some of the trails that I have run and the races that I have enjoyed, with the hope that I can spread the love for running and maybe even inspire someone else to go outside and run their own mile.
