BAMBAM UPDATE & RAMBLINGS
I guess my gym selfie era is on pause.
NEW ERA : forgot to post anything bc im too busy actually doing fitness, coaching, and directing races.
While I watch everyone else posting perfectly posed gym pics and launching their fall programs- I am envious because I would also love to open my programs back up- however Iâve been over here in meetings, organizing cross-country races, helping schools and teachers pull off community events, coaching clients, learning and teaching classes, raising three kids who are all involved in completely different sports than I coach with or even do myself. And training for a 60km Ultramarathon at the end of the month. I need the reminder I canât do it all, and that what Iâm doing is beyond any of that⊠âworryingâ about being behind.
Iâm âŠyesâŠrealizing my own privilege as I type this, am I even human!? Being able to do all this? I must be insane , or well more insane than normal letâs give thanks to caffeine. lol
In fact, Iâve been so focused on XC lately that Iâve spent more time with these antennas (pictured) and wires the past two weeks than I have with friends.
DEAD DIARY Self reminders :
I know how to train for endurance.
Iâm the strength training and body recomp QUEENđ
I know athletic performance.
Iâm a little bit mean but itâs bc you need it if youâre going to take your health seriously.
I know what it takes to build fitness while having an actual life happening around you.
Iâm not interested in pretending that fitness only counts when it looks good in a mirror- that was my entire foundation back in 2020. Need to get back to basics here.
Sometimes, being a coach means setting aside time for showing up to help and organize a bunch of kids so they can discover they can do hard things too.
