Real honesty and transparency from an athlete who shares our values! Our ambassador @theereginalopez and congratulations on a great result! ๐ ๐: Legends (see bio) "Yesterday I had the worst cramps #timeofthemonth! Itโs not the average cramps: itโs the kind of cramps where I canโt eat, canโt get out of bed, and have to cry myself to sleep. I just knew I had to stay focused for my race today,so I had to make sure to stay hydrated, and eat which was tough for me yesterday. I share this because I recently been using positive self-talk. I was so used to putting myself down in my own mindโฆ. telling myself I canโt do itโฆ Iโm too slowโฆ Iโm not good enoughโฆ comparison prison. What I've learned: It all comes down too โMind Setโ especially for longer workouts & race events. Today I raced an 8k with my teammates, which was a hilly course. I wasnโt expecting the hills๐haha yup it was a good workout I got 2nd place with the time of 29:10, and 1st place in my age group. First race since the marathon! Feels nice to be back. Need work to do but I am happy that I got to run with my teammates #TEAMosquedaEliteSkechers We all placed top 18th. Iโm so proud of them! Canโt wait for this year, and everything we will accomplish๐โ๐๐ #Gorun #SkechersPerformance #zensah #athletesinsight #runners #passion"
