The Fall 50…50.7 beautiful miles through Door County, Wisconsin! 
Holy bananas…we’re getting CLOSE!
Started my morning at the Y with Pilates followed by Cardio Essentials. Then I decided to try something a little different…
THE STEAM ROOM! 
Thought maybe a little steam would help loosen up this chest congestion.
And “HOLY SCHINKES”…was that thing HOT! 
Fifteen minutes was ALL I could handle! Came out soaking wet and ready to cool down.
After cleaning up and taking it easy, I headed out later for a little walk. Just some gentle time on my legs while continuing to let my body recover.
The good news? I’m feeling pretty good! 
I’m still paying attention to this cough and how my lungs are feeling. I’m hoping to get back on the treadmill soon, once it’s safe, to see how my body responds.
In the meantime, I’m getting my Fall 50 checklist organized, preparing to pack, and spending some time studying and visualizing the course.
The mental preparation is just as important right now. 
I can picture those beautiful Door County roads, the miles ahead, and all those special names I’ll be carrying with me.
And I’m reminding myself…
A positive mindset doesn’t mean ignoring the challenges. It means believing you can work through them while making smart decisions along the way.
Eight days away.
The excitement is REAL. The gratitude is REAL. And the purpose behind these miles means more than ever.
Rest. Recover. Visualize. Believe.
Project 9:30…one day at a time!
