Eat My Dust

Shelby. 25. NJ. I tend to fall off the wagon a lot but I always try to get back on. "Your role is to remind people to rise above their defilements and sufferings, just as you are arising above the muddy water and not dirtied by the mud from which you...

Wake up and drink your water, take a minute to do something for yourself. Time is slow, whether you want to actually admit it or not, you have all the time you will ever need. Allow yourself to focus on your life, the beauty within it and the glory of this day for one moment. Gratitude is the first step to success. Be thankful for all that you have, all that surrounds you and all that you are.

In me, something is broken. I try over and over again to understand what happened.

I've been working on improving my speed. This week I ran the first mile of a run at 8:15, which is over a minute quicker than I've been doing regularly. Today I went for a 3 mile run and my first mile was finished in 8:30, and I averaged the whole run at 9:15. It's not crazy fast but I'm so happy that I'm seeing some improvement. I feel like I've been stagnant for way too long; I've allowed myself to become comfortable just jogging and rarely doing more than 2 miles. I'm hoping to put in some serious mileage this summer, and improve my speed on top of it. I'm actually really excited about running again. I've missed feeling this way. Happy Sunday!

I finished the Tough Mudder today. I actually feel like it was easier than the two I've done before, and that's likely due to my consistency in training and prep throughout this week. I feel like I was stronger physically and mentally and I challenged myself to try new obstacles that I had always been afraid to do in the past. It was a lot of fun but I'm definitely glad it's over. Now it's time to eat a burrito bowl and binge-watch Bones for the rest of the evening.

I do my third Tough Mudder on Saturday and I'm pretty nervous about it (as I always am), so please send good vibes my way. I'd like to think I'm more prepared for this one than I have been for any other so let's hope!
