So thankful for all the wonderful experiences that I have had the past few months with racing. I've ran 3 100 mile races in 4 months, and 1 100k race, - a year ago, I would have never thought that possible. And even more thankful, I am injured free. And lucky to be - the body is breakable! So now it is time to build up again.
Now, It is nice to be back to enjoying the runs in different trails, getting into the whole zen of it. Sometimes it is important to take many steps back and reevaluate your form, your schedule, your training, etc. There is always room for adjustments, improvements. My goal in the next couple of months is to build up the mileage again and to experience all different trails...as well as getting ready for the 24 hour championship, which will require asphalt running - at least twice a week.
This weekend I had two nice long runs with my different running friends - so thankful for all of them.
And now, what I am most thankful for are my 5 little munchkins who I need to get to bed! Off of this machine and off to bed!
Until tomorrow...believe I am running at 4:30. One thing I am blessed with, being able to function on little or no sleep.
The Sole/Soul purpose of my writings is to inspire as a Montrail Athlete, Mother of 5 amazing kids, and Coach. Many stories of the trials on the trails, the long and windy road, the many good souls and soles, the lessons learned, wisdom gained through the stories that continue to unfold. By sharing we gain so much more of what is going on in this ever changing world ..as Thoreau says " Its not what you look at that matters, its what you see" something to ponder on, huh? Enjoy the journey
