Feeling Strong & Fast-

I know Success Is Near.

I’m Two Weeks Out

From My Next Race.

Putting In The Work

Is Half Of The Chase.

This Past Weekend

I Tri(ed) Something New.

I Had My First Triathlon-

Run, Bike, Canoe.

But It Was Stormy

So We Could Only Do Two.

Happy To Say Though

That We Made It Through.

Just A Friendly Reminder: Food Is Fuel.

I haven’t always had the best relationship with food and as a distance runner this was a detriment that I constantly denied I was putting myself through. I’m finally at a point now though where I’m feeding myself correctly and ENOUGH, and in return I’m seeing huge progress in my training and being able to run faster/longer easier.

I Got Hungry So I Made

This Tasty Dinner.

Veggies And Egg On Toast

Is A Winner.

On This Trip

I Finally Biked.

My Longest Ride Ever

Has Me Psyched!

Yesterday I Decided

To Do A Trail Run.

I May Have Survived,

But The Trail Definitely Won.

Yesterday’s Run Was

Hot But Quick.

Each Run I Build My Base-

Brick By Brick.

Today My Feet

Ran Really Fast.

Good Music & Weather

Made This A Blast.

Conference Day 2

Was Really Fun-

I Got To Walk

Instead Of Run.

It Was My 1st Time

Doing This Event.

A PR & 2nd Place

Is How It Went.

Conference Day 1

Was Tiring & Long-

I Ran 25 Laps

& Felt Surprisingly Strong.

Tomorrow I Head Back

To That Line,

This Time To Walk

& Take What’s Mine.

Today I Ran 16 400s

All Under Pace,

Preparing My Legs

For Next Week’s 10k Race.

After I Finished

I Sat Down To Eat,

Fueling My Body

With This Tasty, Toasted Treat.
