A Long Rest…
It’s been almost 2 years since I last raced.
It’s been SO HARD not racing but I’ve chosen to take some time off to rebuild my fitness.
It’s been a long time since I’ve really been able to push myself in terms of my fitness as I’ve been dealing with a few difficulties.
It’s been 3 and a half years since I’ve been capable of training to my fullest and a complete 6 since I’ve really been able to push myself in all parameters.
I’ve really missed this as it’s been a part of my personal health and wellness since I was a child!
I’ve been in a deep resting cycle since the last race I did in August 2023.
It’s so difficult to sit still in myself when I’ve always been SO ACTIVE.
Soon I will be returning to races but it’s going to be in 2026 so that my body can manage these demands and return to it’s fullest fitness!
Once upon a time I dreamed up this scheme to race the Western States 100 Mile Endurance Race in California…it took me 7 years! It’s a “lottery” that required 100km + qualifying races.
This isn’t quite the same but it’s gotten close to this length of time!
Soon I will begin to rebuild towards that race again and beyond! I CAN’T WAIT.
I can’t believe how long it’s been since I last raced and it’s certainly been challenging to be so PATIENT but I needed this time to heal my physical self.
I needed to give myself this time to regain the basics before it’s time to push harder. Soon!
It’s been so hard!
STRESS + REST = GROWTH!!!!!!!!!!
YEEHAW TO HAVING THIS BODY AND IT’S ABILITY TO HEAL.
IN LOVE,
XOXOXO
