“Here we are…RACE WEEK!”

5 DAYS UNTIL THE FALL 50!

Started my morning out with COFFEE (yes, I know a Christmas cup) and off to the @La Crosse Area Family Y with Pilates and Cardio Essentials, getting in some movement with my amazing members!

I’m finishing up my medication, and thankfully, the coughing wasn’t nearly as bad today!

Today’s training was a nice, easy 3-mile walk, followed by a little mobility work. Nothing crazy—just keeping the body moving and continuing to recover.

Now it’s all about those final race preparations! Packing, organizing gear, planning nutrition, and finishing up all those special names I’ll be carrying for 50.7 miles.

It’s truly incredible how quickly time goes by. It feels like yesterday I was starting Week 1, wondering what these 19 weeks would bring.

This journey has been filled with early mornings, long runs, unexpected challenges, lessons learned, and so many incredible people along the way.

Now I’m focusing on getting healthy, staying positive, and appreciating every moment of this final week.

The countdown is ON!

Project 9:30…let’s see what this final week brings!
