10 miles on the Midtstate trail this morning. The mountain laurel are starting to bloom, Luna enjoyed every water stop and I’m grateful that my foot held up for the whole hike!!😁

Week 5 complete with 2 weeks of a build. These last 2 weeks have been the hardest emotionally while dealing with frustration, sadness and complete exhaustion. Seeing a loved one experience a mental health crisis is one of the scariest things and then dealing with the mental health system which is a complete s**t show is beyond frustrating. Remembering that this is my “why” helped me to move forward with training and with consistency despite how I was feeling.
Some thoughts on my runs:
-I need more carbs.
-relax
-WTF
-Where is everybody?
-I love being by myself.
-I feel lonely.
-If I run up this hill wouldn’t that defeat the purpose of a low RPE run.
-Are low RPE and recovery runs the same?!??
-I need to start tracking carbs!
-Why am I doing this?
-Lift your feet.
-I am so slow.
-I feel like crap!!!
-It’s so pretty out.
-It’s so much better with Luna.🐾
-What is up with this weather?
-I hate rocks on hills.
-That was a good run. Can’t wait to do it again!😜
Conclusion: work on what I am telling myself, increase carbs, focus on sleep.

End of week 3 of training.
Cold, drizzly morning run with my girl.
Messy, stressful week but still showing up.
Recovery week for me (no strength) which I find is not easy for me.😬
Sleep has been tough so really focusing on trying to get quality sleep.
On to a build week!

Beautiful, bright 4 mile recovery run this morning wrapping up week 2 of ultra training.
Life didn’t make it easy this week. A lot going on with family.
I had to be creative in getting training in including strength with early mornings(which are my usual) and splitting runs just to get them in.
Running is more than just training. It’s how I manage stress, how I calm my mind and how I feel like myself again.
Take care of yourself.
Set a goal, even if it feels a little scary and go get it!!!

Another 5 today after yesterday’s 10 miles. Slowly building back to back weekend runs into longer and longer runs over time. The mental gymnastics that goes on in my mind is ridiculous but I didn’t listen!😂🤪 Having Luna with me always helps!🖤🐾
Rest day tomorrow and repeat again and again and again.

Got to walk this sweet boy today who has been waiting at the shelter for way too long! Total lapdog who has to be touching his human because he just loves that much but at the same time goofy and always ready for an adventure! Cyrus will make someone very happy! Hoping the right person sees him soon!💚

Cyress (white and brown brindle) and Duke (hound) have been at the shelter for quite some time. They were both so happy to go for walks and enjoy the beautiful weather! Lots of exposure to other dogs and snowmobiles and both did great! They truly are the sweetest dogs!💙💙 Hoping they find their forever home soon!
