Trail Runners Journey
Trail Runners Journey — by Sherri Donohue
I’m an everyday trail runner, ultrarunner and lover of the long game — especially for runners 35+ who want running to be a lifelong companion, not a burnout mission.
This space is for runners, walkers and trail-curious souls who want:
trail wisdom
mindset support
real-life conversation
belonging
simple, nourishing lifestyle ideas
learning + reflection
and the courage to run life at your own pace
I believe running fits into life — not the other way around.
In Trail Wisdom Weekly, I share storytelling-style essays, reflections from the trail, journal prompts, mindset conversations, gear wisdom, and practical strategies to help you stay strong, inspired, and race-ready — while still being human.
I especially hold space for:
• back-of-the-pack runners
• everyday runners
• late starters
• returning runners
• runners aging-up
• anyone who has ever wondered, “Do I really belong here?”
The answer is yes. You do.
And you don’t have to hustle, prove yourself or chase punishment-based training to stay in the sport you love. There’s a kinder way — one rooted in wisdom, curiosity, compassion and strategic thinking.
If that sounds like your pace, you’re in the right place.
Welcome to the journey.

If my work has helped you run stronger or feel less alone out there, you’re welcome to buy me a coffee — I’ll sip it with muddy shoes and a grateful heart.
