Let’s build an overall machine, because purely running leaves much to be desired whenever it comes to overall health and capability across all movement. Years of running can create muscular imbalances and ultimately degrade your posture and range of motion overtime if left unaddressed. So, get jiggy with it and move your body in other ways. Challenge the muscles, tendons, ligaments, to do something else besides constant forward motion. Let’s look at the overall scope, while also opening our minds to other challenges.

Yes, I still plan to run my fastest marathon in my 40s, but the route that I’m taking to get there is going to be slightly different than what you commonly see. More adventures await! Now I just have to figure out how to film myself in my gym full of mostly elders. 😆

At times, we are our greatest opponent. We see, we observe, follow, yearn, despise, attract, and strive for certain actions and accomplishments. Yet, we aren’t truly listening to ourselves these days. We are listening to others and what’s pictured as “perfect paths” or actions based on what social media tells us. The true revolution in all this should and will ultimately be, people finding their inner child again, their inner self and what’s pictured they truly want out of life, rather than being told what they “should want”. It’s a tricky game and I can see it, feel it, and acknowledge it. It’s all marketing. It takes place within the platform itself, then has tiers down to the communities and brands that control each sector, depending on your chosen sport. Motivation is great to absorb, but don’t veer where you never wished to before the influence hit you. Stay true. And this not only goes for sports, but also lifestyles, health, your living and where and how you spend your time and money. Self reflection is powerful and stepping back to observe is more important now than ever. What you drive your body to do, what you put in your body along the way, and what your end goal is for longevity truly matters. It determines your lifestyle as well as how those within your circle are involved. Stay hydrated, but don’t drink the “tea”, so to speak. Remember your priorities, not someone else’s and you’ll do just fine. 👌🏼

Thanks for listening. I hope everyone has a wonderful week!

There are only so many marathons within us. So, let’s make sure that we are exploring new parts of the world each time!

Ever since I started this marathon journey, I told myself that I would never run the same marathon more than once, and I still stand by that. There are so many amazing races and wonderful places to see. Why would anyone want to repeat something they’ve already done? That’s the part I don’t really understand with the runners who run the same marathon 10 years in a row. Especially whenever it involves taking up a bib number in a world major, where they could pass that number along to someone who has never gotten the opportunity to witness that experience instead.

A day loaded with physical activity for the 4th. We first lifted at the gym, then went on a hot girl walk. Next, I went for a short run, before walking the dogs and heading to the pool for the rest of the day. It’s been years since we’ve statures in town for the 4th, but it was rather nice. I hope everyone had a great 4th!

I have no races on the calendar at the moment, but I’m really itching to pin something down. 📌 What’s everyone running later this year?
