Today I was running with a local women's running group and one of the Gals I run with said I "you should enter the Olympic Trials as a woman."  I believe she knows I am transgender as I usually dress unisex or gender female when I run with them.  I told her that it is difficult to make the trials at any level even if I was to be able to make the women standards.  (I was also thinking I would have to have a completed a sex change) The discussion was very telling as I know many of my run group see me as just another a woman running with them.   Just added a photo from yesterday walking a path with my Nordic Poles.

I am adding a blog item about Halloween Costumes.  Please join me there.

"You Go and Keep Running Girl"  Quote yesterday passed to me by two women bicyclers who were talking as they took a break by the road.  Even after I said hello(Spoke) to them.  Here is one of the running outfits I wore in the last couple of days.

My favorite skirt shots from my 8 mile run in the woods.

Another great run yesterday wearing my new skirt.  Something about feeling the wind when I run.

Latest run as a girl was fun - Ran 5 miles on a heat Index 100 degree day in MO - Stopped by a neat cave to cool off; was glad for the stop  - Noticing my arms a lot lately - so much less muscle and a much more feminine shape.  Will be adding a new herb soon - pueraria mirifica (kwao krua).  Running as a girl is so much more fun these days; yes lots of whistles. 

One of my older jogging outfits that I dug out to run 5 miles in.  The biggest difference is there are no breast forms this time,  having grown another half inch; why would I want to hide my girls. They are so much a part of me now.  I feel so free to run as a woman now.

Wow wearing a corset today -  It has been quite a while since I tried one of my corsets on and now that I am losing more weight again I am quite happy with the fit.

Side note,  I just had a massage and leg wax, two days ago, and my therapist told me my "thin" legs would be the envy of many of the women she does as she made my legs bikini ready, smooth and silky, and she really noticed I had lost weight; called me "stick" person. She also noticed my arms were much smaller.  (definitely smaller, more feminine and less muscular than hers)

Anyway - So I have a wonderful size 28" corset - Today as I schinced it down I started at about 32" waist and to get to 29.25" was the best I could do.  Still really does change my figure a lot.  Photo below.  Wearing my new Sweetheart Leotard. I have gone about half way now in losing weight to my goal of 138.  I am quite sure I will be able to make the 28" corset size when I get there.  Yes looking more feminine every day and loving it.

Was jogging with two of my girl friends last Saturday.  And a middle aged lady drove up by us and said she said to us "glad to see three pretty college girls out running" was "proud of us" for running.  (Yes, I was one of the three) 

30,000 views of my page - so super - I just wish I could hug everyone - but of course there is this virus to deal with.   Here is my latest photo/s.  Dawn

Crazy all that is going on now as we are under stay at home rules.  Hoping to hear how everyone is doing?

My Latest Salon Experience.

Today was my final run to the salon I go to - as after today - it is closed due to the Virus Concerns.  But what a great experience I had today.  Putting the main phrase up front about how well I passed at the salon my stylist in her parting comment to me knowing that I would be at home a lot in the next few days; was that she "did not want me to come back pregnant."  Currently this is not possible, but she did have me walking out of the salon looking very much the lady.   I had everything done today almost like a fire sale because I would be one of her last customers for a currently unknown period of time.  Anyway I just had gotten a new set of lady's glasses made that I was wearing for the first time and I was not wearing a single item of menswear.  Yes, I had on a teal nice bra and some flowery lingerie beneath my women's sports wear.  I also had on some of my favorite perfume. 

Before I went my wife had told me to have a wonderful girls experience at the salon.  So I had a manicure, a pedicure, my brows waxed and my hair cut and colored in a feminine style.  My stylist told me I was "beautiful" as I left, she actually appears to delight in making me look feminine, and most of those in the salon did not blink an eye as most of them believed me to be a woman; really.  Also - I have to admit she likes showing her muscles to me that are maybe a couple of inches larger than my soft arms. Then she said she was worried for me as I looked so beautiful that she thought I might be pregnant (Yes me) when we next see each other.  I am actually thinking I will go in when I next get to see her and maybe pad my middle a bit, for a joke on her. 

The colors she got me for my manicure and pedicure she was calling "the pandemic."  I really mean this in a good way - in fun - but I do realize this is also a very serious. Attached are a few photos of my nails hair, and glasses and a new swimsuit and surf coverup shirt my wife helped me pick out for a future trip to the beach.  

Anyway today for me was a fun day - Still I am concerned for everyone as we go into a lock down to keep people safe during this national crisis/pandemic.

Tomorrow I return to my normal unisex life.  I have had a great time on this last trip to Florida.  My greatest fun was my time on the beach but I also had great fun at the stores and restaurants I went too as I was addressed as "mam" and "lady" at most of these locations.  These encounters really helped me to embrace myself and how I felt.  It was really liberating the feelings of freedom I felt. At the beach, I was at ease the whole time, aware of my form fitting swimsuit and my tuck made me have the ultimate feminine shape, aware of my long hair as the wind caught it, aware of my shaved and lotioned body, aware of my woman shadow/sillowet on the beach; knowing I was being looked at and coded as a female by all around me.  Yes, I was sure I was passing.  As I walked over a mile on the beach I felt deep feelings and the feeding of my woman inside.  I was quite natural in my walk and most of the dozens of beach walkers I passed would wave or say, "good morning" or "hello." There I was just another somewhat pretty older woman walking on the beach with a slight arm swing and lifted sway in her hips.  I also collected some shells and tested the water for swimming. I did get in knee deep but the water was really cold.  For the walk I had just purchased a really nice swimsuit cover-up.  Because of this, I did fit in quite well with those around me as it was cool 60's and as I mentioned the water was fridged.  Thanks Monica for this great idea of the cover garment.  The cover up I bought fit loosely and was almost a beach dress. With this on I really was able to be myself  - natural and confident and I am sure this is why I appeared to pass so well.

I did get a little bit of attention, however. There were some work men who I know were looking me over, my feminine radar could sense l was being checked out.  One of them actually called me to get my attention twice.  Because I was on the other side of a work barrier I was able to keep my distance and not respond to his advance.  

My favorite portion of my 2+ hours of beach time was laying/sitting on my towel and soaking 🌞.  I had a sea gull buddy that stayed about 10 feet away and just hung out with me the whole time.  There were several joggers who went by the "sun babe"  - they all looked and I looked back - they smiled and moved on.  We were all having a wonderful day at the beach.

I took several dozen photos and will share them soon - sample one below.

Heading to Florida today.  I will be vacationing and doing some business on this trip.  Looking forward to my time on the beach and most of my time being myself as a woman. I think I am ready.
