10 in before 10!

Normally I only post when I run a race but these miles sometimes feel tougher. There’s no medal at the finish. Just the lactic acid and cinnamon roll cravings. You gotta get up early to beat the heat (but there’s no escaping this humidity) and then keep moving the rest of the day so your legs don’t get too stiff.

This is where the longer miles are built. This is when discipline and consistency mean more than accomplishments and motivation. There’s nothing to show for these miles other than knowing you got up and got it done. I don’t know if I will reach my goal time or if I will make the gauntlets at the MCM but I know I showed up and that in itself should be celebrated. But it’s hard when you want to do better and push harder and see different results. It’s hard to remind yourself that showing up counts and the only way you fail is to not try. Working on that part too.
