Had the perfect hiking partner today 🐾 Gudger has degenerative back disease so, today, there was no scoreboard and no finish line. Grateful for this little companion and hoping he can trek many many more miles with me - even if a little more slowly. #WeeklySportsInspiration #WomenInSports

The sky doesn’t compete—it expands. A good reminder that strength isn’t always loud… sometimes it’s about showing up, again and again, no matter the weather.
