Nancy Luong

🙏 A proud day for me!! I have been training for @hyroxworld and so excited to be doing this with my bestie @amanglona !! It a goal I have for before I turn 40 and it is NOT EASY!!!! In today’s Luong training since (see everything we did in pic 2 as partners) I had so many thoughts in my mind from: ok you got this, dude you’re crazy, was this really a good idea, you’re so strong, I can’t do this, I’m gonna yak 😹, it’s ok I think I got this, if I finish this I’m going to celebrate this milestone.

I think the most proud part of this all is that I am training for something so challenging in the best, safe, healthy way for my body and mind. I am not going extreme 0 to 100 (like how my old brain worked) and I am listening to my body. My ego likes to debate with my body. It’s like girl push yourself and my body is like hey chill, recover, relax and continue to train when you feel good again.

So this isn’t just a race to accomplish. It’s a journey to honor my body, to build my strength from the actual workouts to saying hey let’s rest which is strength for me to surrender, and to also fuel my body properly.

Today was a huge milestone because my partner Tina, (who I am so grateful for, since Amber isn’t here she was able to do this with me) finished the practice race that is almost identical in 1.5 hours and I am sooo proud.

We are 5 weeks out and I have been soooo nervous but today I feel more confident of what I am capable of. I have gratitude for my body and health and also @j_nukes for his coaching. What a day!!!!! 💪🏃‍♀️🏋️‍♀️
