Did you know there are 608 THOUSAND tags for #bodyimage and 7.4 MILLION for #strongnotskinny 🤦🏻‍♀️ I look at this shot and see all the lack of effort I’ve put into my poor body and my heart of late. The wines. The cheese. The bread. But the scar from when I first went over the bars a couple months ago is a reminder of the adventures... And I feel sad, for everyone stressing about their #bodyimage. Life is short. Why on earth are we wasting it worrying about how we look, when our bodies let us go on the most incredible adventures?! Let’s go adventuring beautiful ladies - it’s not always easy, but you’re all gorgeous in my eyes. And here I am, weighing in heavier than usual, feeling embarrassed and awkward, not seeking your attention, but reminding you that you are enough, insecurities and all x #outdoorwomen #honesty #women #sideplank #strength #trailrunner #runner #fitness #trailsisters #headupwingsout #core #strength #runstrong #nikewomen #pilates #yoga #stretch #lululemon #strongwomen #runlikeagirl #mtb #mtbforwomen #crosstrain #coreworkout #coreexercises #plank #exercise

True fact: run with poles in your hand for those immediate euro mountain feels - 😜 (But today’s a rest day here so it’s time to put the feet up 🙏🏻) Happy Monday everyone x #trailrun #mountcook #aoraki #aorakimountcooknationalpark #trailrunning #tramping #run #chasingvert #running #nz #newzealand #purenz #getoutside #outdoorwomen #adventurequeen #mountains #mountainrun #squirrelsnutbutter #flystyle #ultimatedirection #garmin #runhappy #runfree #onelifeliveit #rocktape #docnz #trailsisters #run #trails #hike #latergram

Do one thing a day that scares you.... 🤟🏼 Well, a couple of days ago the topic of racing a mountain bike for the first time came up... and a couple days later, in classic Sarah fashion, I decided spontaneously to give it a crack. Aaaaand, it scared me! Bearing in mind most races I’ve done over the past couple of years have been on foot and chilled, between 5-10 hours long... not an hour’s blast around a (for me at this stage) technically challenging course on two wheels! But dang I’ve missed those high heart rate vibes and am proud to have survived another epic stack on Sparkle. We were both airborne for a while there, while not connected to each other, but my race instinct kicked in and we were back up in no time... albeit a little more wary and with some extra foliage on board 😂 Can’t thank everyone out there enough for being super friendly... I probably stopped and said “sorry” about 790 times to all the A&B graders I was letting past 😂 What a great way to kick off the day. Congrats everyone. What a rad experience to have as a newbie to mountain biking and so much to learn x #wildwestxco #wildwestxcseries #mtbrace #crosscountry #ride #getoutside #mountainbike #mtb #mtblife #mtbwomen #ridehappy #multisport #outdoorwomen #cycle #findyourownrad #offroad #trails #cyclelife #wymtm #getoutandride #outsideisfree #outdoors #crosstrain #garminau #squirrelsnutbutter

Your vibe attracts your tribe ✌🏻 3.5 hours this morning of dragging my out of shape arse around the trails... and the 10kms shared with these gorgeous souls was undoubtedly the highlight 💕 Thanks ladies! Plus the numerous other flybys all morning - great to see sooo many people out playing. Coffee time now! 💥 #slaydies #trailrun #trailrunning #run #trailchix #getoutside #getoutstayout #outdoors #trailsisters #gopro #running #runstrong #runfree #outdoors #adventuretime #onelifeliveit #adventure #outdoorwomen #garminau #parklands #sunshinecoast #trailandultra #offroad #multisport #trail #goproanz #ultramarathoner #ultratraining

Well, it’s already four months since our first ride in Parkies, so Miss McKnight and I decided it was about time to roll down Tazer and see how “tastey” (🤦🏻‍♀️) it really is 😉 Relaxed, fun times with my tunes this morning 🎶 Have a great weekend everyone - hopefully it involves some time on the trails x #friyay #ridehappy #mtb #mountainbike #mtbwomen #cycle #bike #bikelife #liv #livpique #dualsuspension #gopro #multisport #rookie #sunshinecoast #allthegearnaeidea #livbeyond #offroad #ride #bicycle #onelifeliveit #adventure #mtbchicks #getoutside #fuelyourpassion #parklands #trail #singletrack #sherides

It’s amazing how a little knowledge can make riding a whole lot more fun and chilled 🤙 Week five of the “Total Rider Program” looking at trail scanning and line choice... Layering on another skill each week is steadily adding a wee bit of flow to those corners. Pretty sure Sparkle McKnight and I would still be skiting through that dross on each berm without it, and life is a whoooole lot easier when you ride that better line...🙈😂 Cheers @hitbikes_total_rider_program #findyourownrad #getoutside #mountainbike #mtb #mtblife #mtbwomen #ridehappy #sunshinecoast #outdoorwomen #cycle #offroad #trails #cyclelife #totalriderprogram #garminau #berm #rookie #allthegearnaeidea #hitbikes #outdoorwomen #challengeyourself #onelifeliveit #parklands
