If you're training for a marathon, chasing a personal best, or just trying to stay consistent through the chaos of summer, you're in the right place. This week was a BIG one: \ud83c\udfc3\u200d\u2640\ufe0f 5 runs \ud83d\udeb4\u200d\u2640\ufe0f 1 long bike ride \ud83d\udcaa 2 strength training days \ud83e\uddd8\u200d\u2640\ufe0f 1 yoga session I\u2019m finally feeling more like myself after dealing with piriformis syndrome the last few weeks. The heat and humidity were brutal, but I\u2019m feeling strong\u2014and more importantly, I\u2019m remembering my why. Yes, I have big dreams. Yes, I\u2019ve been feeling some doubt and fear (normal runner things). But right now, I\u2019m focusing on progress over perfection and keeping the process fun. My new mantra? WHY NOT. Why not try? Why not see what I\u2019m capable of? Throughout this series, you'll get a behind-the-scenes look at how I\u2019m building fitness, managing setbacks, and working on the mental game\u2014because marathon training isn\u2019t just physical, it\u2019s personal. \ud83d\udda4 The only way you fail is if you fail to try.
