Forward Till Fall
Training this past summer has been quite difficult. There was some pain, some stress and just overall exhaustion. My long runs were not what they used to and my during the week runs were sparse. I will say my cross training stayed fairly on track which has kept the small flame of hope alive for my fall races.
What was it? My weight has actually come down, I feel stronger than ever, I finally figured out how to balance rest and work. What was missing? Or maybe what was added? The stress of traveling overseas, not knowing many people who have done this race and the ever looming time limit.
It was a hot, steamy, long summer and I am ready for fall and some much needed rebuilding to come up. I will stay positive and enjoy both Berlin and Queen Bee for all they offer. My hope is that they both offer cool temperatures and a fun atmosphere.
Here is to taper town and all the rest and rebuilding it brings!
