<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;">I’ve been taking a break from running for over 6 months now. A big part of this break is due to a nagging pain in my back that I just can’t seem to figure out. But a larger part of this (that I’ve had a hard time coming to terms with) is that running stopped making me happy and started to become emotionally destructive. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: -apple-system-font;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;">When my dad was really sick a few years ago running gave me a way to channel all my devastation and heartbreak into something that gave me hope. Running made me feel strong emotionally during a time in my life when it would have been really easy to just crumble. Right after my dad died, marathon training was the thing that got me out of bed every day, it gave me something to focus on that wasn’t my own grief. The marathon I ran 5 months after my dad died was my strongest and fastest ever. It made me happy - I felt proud and I felt good and I did it all for him. But after that, my relationship with running began to fumble. I kept pushing myself the same way I always had, but looking back on it now I realize that wasn’t what I needed at all. I continued grinding it out through another marathon training cycle because it's what I had come to know as normal, except this time things weren’t clicking. I had this nagging pain in my back that wouldn’t go away, and I started doubting myself as a runner even though I was running faster than I ever had before. And then it was time for Boston 2016, the marathon I had been dreaming of for years and years. In the days leading up to Boston my gut was telling me something was off, but I ignored it. Every training run over the past 16 weeks had been perfect, so what could be wrong? I remember putting Greg & my brother's phone numbers on the back of my bib just in case something happened to me during the race. And I came up with a plan in my head of what I'd do if I DNFed along the course (DNF - did not finish). These were things I had never considered leading up to races in the past, I think because previously I had been in the right mental state; feeling confident and ready to race. Then race day happened and 10 miles in I crumbled. I was perfectly hydrated, perfectly fueled, perfectly prepped - but the heat got to me. And honestly, my own emotions got to me. My mind just wasn’t in the game and my body reacted to that. I finished Boston 2016 with the help of medical tents, my friends & family on the sidelines, and my intense fear of failure. But I wasn’t proud of myself, I was actually really ashamed. My finish time was exactly 4 hours, the slowest marathon I have ever run by a long shot. I was trained to run a 3:10 marathon easily and 4 hours was straight up embarrassing - that’s not the kind of runner I am. I don’t run to just finish a marathon, I run to excel. Running a 4 hour marathon was like putting my guard down and letting everyone around me see all my weaknesses, all the cracks in my armor, and that made me want to run away and hide. Everyone around me was telling me that just finishing a marathon while experiencing heat stroke is an incredible accomplishment and I should be so proud. I smiled and agreed and told them all I was feeling proud, but honestly I wasn’t feeling that at all. And that’s when I started to understand that even though running has brought so much positivity into my life, it had now morphed into something emotionally destructive. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;">The years of grinding it out nonstop with marathon training and with running a business all while trying to process the illness and eventual death of the most important person in my life had caught up to me. Running wasn’t helping me deal with the loss of my dad anymore, it was just masking it. The thought of going out on a run just because it made me happy had become so foreign, it wasn’t even an option I gave myself. Every run had to be taken very seriously, had to be structured and intentional. And then I realized that I wasn't allowing any room to be easy on myself, to give myself a break. So I stopped running. Honestly, it’s been really really good. I am going on walks instead of runs, I am letting myself stay in bed a bit longer in the mornings, and I’m reading books instead of stretching for an hour every day. With the help of some wonderful friends and a really great therapist I’m starting to understand what life looks like without my dad. I’m trying to figure out what makes me truly happy and fulfilled and I can’t quite say what that looks like just yet, but I know that I’ll only figure it out by giving my heart and mind the space to heal and become healthy again. I know that running will forever be a part of my life and running a 3:10 marathon is still something I think about almost daily. But I want to approach running again slowly and be sure that the most important part is feeing happy and fulfilled, remembering the reasons why running changed my life for the better in the first place. </span></div>

I was honored to create a collection of one of a kind bags for select cast & crew of the new WWII movie <a href="http://www.alliedmovie.com/" target="_blank">Allied</a> using WWII era materials that were all very thoughtfully chosen to correlate to the movie's time period. This was an incredibly fun project to work on and I feel very fortunate that I got to put all my old canvas nerdiness to use. And be sure to go see the movie, it's brilliant!</div>

I holed up in this secluded cabin for two days earlier this week. It was the perfect bit of calm after a month of taking zero days off and before another month of zero days off. I love what I do, but jeeze the months leading up to Christmas are just so so busy. A good book (<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Nightingale-Kristin-Hannah/dp/0312577222" target="_blank">The Nightingale</a> - have you read it?! I can't put it down), a nice bottle of wine, and long mornings in bed were just what I needed to power back up and get ready for the holiday madness that is now upon us. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Speaking of holiday - the <a href="http://www.forestbound.com/collections/forestbound-originals/products/50-tote-bag-special-peace" target="_blank">2016 Black Friday totes</a> sold out in 2.5 hours! I think that may be a new record. Thank you so much! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Right now I'm offering free shipping on all orders over $125 and stay tuned for lots of other fun sales over the next few days and weeks. I feel so so so thankful to have all of you out there as customers, followers, friends and family. Hope you had the best Thanksgiving. </div>

Hard to believe it's already the holidays! But that means our <a href="http://www.forestbound.com/" target="_blank">annual $50 Black Friday tote bag sale</a> is only a few days away and here's the design I made for this year. Doing my best to put as much peace and kindness out there into the world, and since making bags is what I do it seemed appropriate to put that message on our 2016 tote. Hope you love it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The bags will be available starting at 7am EST on Friday morning <a href="http://www.forestbound.com/" target="_blank">on our website</a>. Like always, we only make a limited quantity of them, so act quick! They normally sell out in a few hours. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll be running a few other sales over the weekend as well, so make sure to sign up for our mailing list to get all the details! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Running a small business during this time of year can be really, really overwhelming and exhausting. We love making bags for you all! But in between all the sewing we're trying our best to take it easy and make sure we get in quality time with our friends and family. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So we thought maybe we'd take that sentiment and put it on some simple, no frills bags to share with all of you. Hope you enjoy!</div>

Love this photo of our ESCAPE Bag that <a href="http://henryandmac.com/" target="_blank">Dana</a> shot for <a href="http://gusandruby.com/" target="_blank">Gus & Ruby</a>'s holiday photoshoot. If you're in New England and want to purchase our bags in person make sure to swing through Portsmouth and stop at <a href="http://gusandruby.com/" target="_blank">Gus & Ruby</a>!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But if you're not here in New England, we'll ship <a href="http://www.forestbound.com/products/escape-canvas-bag-2" target="_blank">the above bag</a> to you for a flat $5.00 starting now and going through December. For all our West Coast pals - that saves you almost $10.00! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks for reading our blog! And make sure you stay tuned for lots more good stuff coming this holiday season - remember our $50 tote bags? Well, they're coming back this year ... </div>

It's taken me a number of years to figure out the best way to keep our apartment feeling open and minimal while still incorporating all the bulky old treasures that I collect along the way. I feel like I've finally achieved the balance that I've been searching for, and I'm really thrilled with how our home is looking and feeling these days. I love coming home in the evenings to soft light in the sitting room, or drinking coffee in the morning surrounded by happy plants and warm textiles. </div>

We're really excited to introduce our popular <a href="http://www.forestbound.com/collections/escape-canvas-bag" target="_blank">ESCAPE Canvas Utility Bag in khaki and black canvas</a>. These bags are made from super sturdy 18oz canvas and are ready to carry everything you need for a weekend away. I personally stuff mine full with a few changes of clothes, the book I'm absorbed in at the time, and my toiletry bag. Fits all of that perfectly. </div>

I started running around the time that my Dad was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD). He had been a runner for 35 years but dementia would soon take away his ability to run like he used to - so I wanted to run for him. In the beginning, it helped me cope with all the emotions that came with learning that the person you love most in the world has a terminal illness. And for a few years that's all it was for me - a coping mechanism. I was sad, so I ran and thought about my dad. <br />
<br />
When I decided to run my first marathon, the fundraising I did for an organization connected to the disease that my Dad was suffering from became a new form of coping. Where running helped me work through my own feelings, fundraising helped me connect with a larger community. It helped me get comfortable talking about his disease. And it helped me to keep moving forward every day when the weight of my Dad's illness seemed too much to bare. I couldn't cure him, but raising money and awareness might help someone else, somewhere, some day. Fundraising became a beacon of positive energy during the last few years of my Dad's life.<br />
<br />
The idea for <a href="http://www.forestbound.com/collections/long-may-they-run" target="_blank">Long May They Run</a> was born during this time. I had trained for two marathons at that point, and had successfully raised thousands of dollars for an organization that did so much for my family and the FTD community. Raising money and awareness about FTD turned into something very powerful and important for me. I wanted to continue to have fundraising be a part of my life, but felt that I couldn't keep on asking the same friends and family to give money over and over again every time I wanted to run a race.<br />
<br />
The idea popped into my head, naturally - on a run, that I could develop a small company where 100% of the profits would go to charity. So that's just what I'm doing. Here's what Long May They Run is all about: To inspire, remember, and appreciate how lucky we are to have the bodies we have. Your body is yours, you can do whatever you want with it, and that truly is the most beautiful thing. <br />
<br />
The concept of running for those who no longer can has been motivating me for years, and I know that it can motivate others too. Maybe you have a loved one, a friend, or a friend of a friend suffering from an illness that has taken away their ability to use their body .. or maybe you know someone who has passed away and you want to use running (or cycling, yoga, walking, weight lifting .. anything!) as a way of remembering them and paying tribute.<br />
<br />
All of the profits from <a href="http://www.forestbound.com/collections/long-may-they-run" target="_blank">Long May They Run</a> will be donated to the <a href="http://aclu-nh.org/" target="_blank">New Hampshire chapter of the ACLU</a>. Other than his family and running - social justice was the most important part of my Dad's life. He had been working with and supporting the ACLU for over 40 years, starting with t<a href="https://www.aclu.org/aclu-national-prison-project" target="_blank">he ACLU's National Prison Project</a> in the early 1970's. He's not here anymore to fight inequality and speak up for those without voices… so I'm going to support an organization that works for those things every day and do my best to continue his legacy. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.forestbound.com/collections/long-may-they-run" target="_blank">This gear</a> is for you to wear when you're taking a yoga class with your best friend or running a 5K in memory of a loved one who you've lost. Wear it and have it remind you that there are so many out there who would love to be using their legs, their arms, and their brains in the same way that we get to every single day. Have it motivate you to get out there and use your body for something more than yourself - for those you love and in memory of those who are no longer with us.<br />
