Split Seasons — Late July heat, open trails, and intentional steps
Hey friends,
This time of year always slows me down, in a good way. Here’s what’s been moving through my world this week on the trails and in the work.
🌳 Field Notes
I’ve been thinking about pace lately, not just in running, but in everything. Summer has a way of forcing that conversation. Go too fast and it breaks you. But listen closely, and it offers up something rare: time that stretches, work that deepens, and a body that adjusts.

💡 Solo Build Note
You don’t need to go viral or be everywhere at once. What you really need is clarity, consistency, and connection with the right people. You don’t need a huge audience to build meaningful impact or sustainable income.
💭 Parting Thought
Your creative rhythm isn’t meant to match someone else’s pace.
Something to take to the trail: What season are you in right now?
That’s all for this one.
Make this week count. If you’ve got something great to share, I’d love to hear from you.
From the trail,
Laura
