Ask yourself what is really important and then have the wisdom and courage to build your life around your answer - Lee Jampolsky | We have been talking a lot about values in our classes and it’s really got me thinking. I think it’s so important to be self reflective and know what your own core values are. From there you can go ahead and make plans and build a life around what you do truly value, creating something that will make you happy long term. For me it’s Passion, Fitness, Growth, Family & Balance 👌🏼

Reminiscing on some beautiful summer hikes this summer, after waking up to a cold, rainy, dreary morning. Headed to the gym... hopin’ to get back into routine with my early morning workouts and starts to the day! Been finding it tough to get out of bed in the morning... doesn’t help that I’ve also been staying up way later then usual 🤦🏼♀️ I’ll get back to it 💪🏼! Happy Friday everyone! *

It’s important to do what’s best for you, whether people approve of it or not. This is your life. Make yourself a priority. You know what’s good for you and remember, YOU are your longest commitment. *

Spending the weekend in town, getting caught up on life, though dreamin’ of next. One week till @melissasroadrace . Who’s going to be there!? This will be my 9th annual doing the 10km. It’s always been one of my favourite weekends. From the vibe in town, to the fall colours, the cooler weather, to the race itself. Combining my love for running with the mountains ❤️ Also can’t wait for a larch hike the day after, as I’ve never really seen them in full colour... as my September’s and early October’s are usually a super busy time for me. From either school or work start up. Thanks @vanessafraser for the snap! @keencanada

Where are you your happiest and most confident? What makes you smile ear to ear? Where is it that you go and feel like the best version of yourself? Who are you with? What were you surrounded by? What were you doing? Wherever it is, spend more time there.

Building confidence and community through adventure, is one thing @theladyalliance believes in and strives for. Head on over to their page and give them a follow, as I’ll be doing a takeover today, showing you what we got up too yesterday out in Kananaskis! They were at the opening day of @mec South in Calgary yesterday, presenting on how we all may have limiting beliefs that are stopping us from living the life of our dreams. One of adventure. We all have various amounts of doubt and our own personal limitations, but it’s about recognizing them and having the confidence to strive forward and make those changes. Community helps and so does conversation👌🏼 #freshairandfreedom #tentridge #kananaskis #eddiebauer #whyihike
"They keep saying that beautiful is something a girl needs to be. But honestly? Forget that. Don't be beautiful. Be angry, be intelligent, be witty, be klutzy, be interesting, be funny, be adventurous, be crazy, be talented -- there are an eternity of other things to be other than beautiful. And what is beautiful anyway, but a set of letters strung together to make a word? Be your own definition of amazing, always. That is so much more important than anything beautiful, ever." -- Nikita Gill

Trying to get myself pumped up for the cold weather to come. I have met so many amazing women through this app, and on the trail, in the back country, who all have their own personal story and are beautiful due to their strength to fight through what it is life has presented them with. Nature’s a place we can all turn too, to enjoy, where one can feel free from the hustle and bustle of ‘everyday’. No matter our story we connect with similar passions for the outdoors, adventure and life’s hardships. I think all women need to get this quote printed and post it on their wall in their house and read it daily. Had quite a few responses come back after posting it to my story, saying they were going to do just that, whether for themselves or for their little ones. I thought that was a great idea ❤️ Happy Friday folks! #freshairandfreedom
