Catching Up: Progress, Patience, and the Journey Ahead
The last few weeks have flown by, and I realize I haven’t posted an update in a while—it’s definitely time to catch up.
Training has been moving at a slower pace than I had hoped, especially when it comes to running. I’m not yet able to run a continuous three miles, so I’ve been alternating between running and walking. And you know what? That’s okay. I'm averaging about 30 miles a week with running and walking is waaaaaaay more. I look at as time on my legs.
Movement is progress and doing something is always better than doing nothing.
Despite the slower progress on the run, I’ve been consistent with my TRX, Pilates, Strength, and Cycling classes. Staying committed to those has helped me feel strong and balanced in other areas of my training.
I’m still planning to tackle that 50-miler in October. It may be a slower finish, but that’s often the case with a first-time distance—you’re learning the course, figuring out your rhythm, and managing the unknowns. I’m focused on doing the best I can, and for now, that’s enough.
Here’s to showing up, embracing the journey, and continuing to move forward—no matter the pace.
Just Keep Running!
