There’s a weird amount of confidence that comes from knowing you won’t let yourself quit.

Same race as last year, 20 seconds faster. Left absolutely no gas in the tank.

Spent basically the entire race in zone 5 and apparently you can hang out there for a lot longer than I thought..

All I know is if there’s ever a challenge to see who can push the hardest for the longest, I’m taking myself every time.

It’s just pain :) by @louielift

Don’t stop when you’re tired, stop when you’re done.

The Spartan Ultra 50K was the toughest thing I’ve ever done, and I placed 1st in my age group.

I couldn’t feel my hands for almost the entire duration and blew out my knee halfway through the race…. everything in me wanted to quit.

Knowing my family was waiting at the finish line for me was enough fuel to not give up and I couldn’t grasp not keeping the promise to myself of getting it done.

I left absolutely zero gas in the tank.

This race wasn’t about pace or placement for me.

It was about not quitting when everything in me wanted to.

Grateful I got it done🙏🏻 by @louielift

Today’s Location: The Pain Cave 💀

5K simulation @ 90% effort.

The sub 6:30 goal pace is not gonna be easy and may not even be in the cards, but we got 2 weeks of training left to find out.

There’s a big difference between knowing your worth and thinking you’re better than everyone else.

Be proud of who you are, carry yourself with confidence, and don’t shrink yourself to make other people comfortable. Just never let that confidence turn into treating people like they’re beneath you.

You can believe you’re capable of anything while still being a good person. Be confident in who you are, but always lead with love and make people feel good along the way.

Eat in a way that makes you feel good, perform better and actually gives your body what it needs.

Someone else winning takes literally nothing away from you. Clap for your people.

Going 100% every single day sounds cool until you can’t give 100% anymore. Rest is part of it.

Closed mouths don’t get fed. Ask for the opportunity, then go earn it.

Treat people how you’d want to be treated. It really doesn’t need to be more complicated than that.

Gotta do the work if you want the results.

Week 5 of training done. 5 weeks until the race and officially halfway there.

Sub 6:30 pace still scares me just as much as it did when I set the goal. But there’s really nothing else to do besides keep showing up, follow the plan and put myself in the best position possible to try and pull it off September 19th.
