[championsaremade]

i’ve written in my journal so many times this week that i can smell autumn in the air, it’s the smell of cross country season, but i don’t know even how to describe it

It is okay to rest or slow down. Stop putting so much pressure on yourself to be constantly productive. You deserve to have a break

“you have to eat to run!!! you have to eat to run fast!!! you have to eat to BLAH BLAH BLAH”

you can just eat something without justifying how you’re going to USE what you just ate. you can eat something just because it tastes good. you can eat something because you need comfort. you can literally eat for NO reason whatsoever.

so tired of seeing posts where someone is justifying eating ONLY to run or perform physically. good lort

let’s talk about the running brain for a sec....

i was try to figure out when i was going to turn around in order to hit 9.5 miles & somehow convinced myself it was 3.75 (???) THAT’S TWO MILES SHORT but somehow my brain while running was like “yeah, yeah, 3.75 that’s right”

ANYWAYS DESPITE NOT BEING ABLE TO MATH AND HAVING TO RUN EXTRA LOOPS AROUND TOWN, I HAD SO MUCH FUN ON MY RUN AND I HAVENT ENJOYED RUNNING SO MUCH IN A LONG TIME

GUYS I JUST GOT MY SUMMER TRAINING FOR TRACK IM OFFICIALLY ON COLLEGE TRACK I AM SO ASDFGHJKL;

[cbucks-fitness]

came across this 3 years later….I truthfully had forgotten that I never expected to run in college. I had never thought I was good enough to compete on a collegiate team, let alone be a captain on said team, or consistently score in every conference meet….yet here we are. I’ll be keeping this post in mind for the rest of my summer training

Eat healthy foods because you want to nourish your body, not because you want to change the way it looks.

Move your body because you want to keep it strong and healthy, not to change its shape.

Love your body fiercely, and let that love be what drives you to treat yourself with kindness.

miles, smiles & a little bit of rain

Okay here’s the thing:

- If you don’t like oatmeal with almond butter, don’t eat it  

- If you don’t like running, don’t run 

- If weight lifting isn’t your thing, that’s okay 

- If you can’t afford Gymshark, Alphalete, Lulu Lemon, that’s cool too. Use what you have. 

Do not let social media convince you that there is a specific way to be healthy and fit. I get caught up in it myself. I have the self-talk of “I should be doing that specific workout because she is” or “my mile-splits are x mins off of hers, I’m not a real runner.” There’s nothing wrong with seeking guidance and inspiration but at the end of the day you should make your fitness journey about you what works best for you. Our bodies are different, our mindsets are different, our preferences are different. Different doesn’t equal wrong. Do your thing.
