Deka Mile in the books! 10 events with a mile of running split up between each. It was humbling but amazing. I didn't quite hit the time goal I set for myself but I know where I need to improve. (Read: running!) I've been dealing with calf and Achilles issues and my training hasn't been what I'd hoped going into the season....but that's life with a 48 year old body 🤣
About midway through these things I always question what the heck I'm doing. I'm really not a very competitive person. I definitely prefer a "let's just go out there and have fun" mentality, but there is a time and a place for it all. My biggest goal is to be able to do the hard thing AND have fun while doing it. Sometimes you gotta just embrace the suck! Ultimately I know that intentionally choosing hard things makes the inevitable challenges that life hands you easier to take on and creates resiliency. So I do it and it's always worth it. 💪
One more event Raintree Athletic Club next month then Hyrox in November!
If you're local and are curious about the budding "hybrid athletics" scene, hit me up and I'll fill you in! Lots of great stuff happening here in NoCo.
Now for a cold plunge and my Theragun!
