Training update - 9 weeks until CIM ✨
Before going on vacation, I felt like I was getting into a good groove. Workouts and long runs were feeling smooth, I was adjusted to the weather, and I ran an unexpected 5k PR! I knew training would take a back seat while on vacation, but it would be supplemented by a lot of additional activity and time on feet.
When we got back, I struggled a bit because everything just felt hard. The humidity was crushing, the time change messed me up, I had to go back to work, commute, 4am wake ups, and it was the anniversary of my Mom’s passing 😢
BUT I tried to give myself some grace, trust the process, and have patience. After about a week, I settled back in and training has been better than expected! I’ve had strong workouts, amazing long runs, and have hit my highest mileage week ever 2 weeks in a row! 🤩📈
With 9 weeks to go, I’m excited to keep working hard and remain open and curious to what I may be able to achieve! 💥
