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
