In August I got to complete a very special triathlon, my
family for the first time was able to be there & that meant the world to
me! After completing my Olympic triathlon in August, I really felt that my body
was depleted. So I took a few weeks off
& then began running again & training for my next half marathon which
was the Boston Half in September. I really didn’t train much for it, but I must
say it was the most fun & beautiful half marathon I have ever done! The
view of the ocean was amazing weather was perfect the event support was like
nothing I have ever experienced, but the best part is I got to run it with my
amazing best friend Katy!
After that run I took a whole 6 weeks off. I’m not saying don’t
be active at all, just do something different so you don’t burn out physically
mentally & emotionally. I kept doing
yoga and took long walks, but other than that the past 6 weeks have been time
for rest, rebuild & revitalize.
I ran for the first time in 6 weeks yesterday & man I
felt like I could accomplish the world, the first couple of miles are always the
toughest I say but once I got going I felt like I could accomplish anything in
life! I love that feeling & that is why I run! I feel more alive than I
ever have and so excited for the next chapter/year of my life!
“The highest spiritual practice is
self-observation without judgment.” –Swami Kripalu
Every day start your day by telling yourself, “Life
is beautiful because of you.” I am so grateful for my wonderful supportive
family and friends I am surrounded with!
The light in me, bows to the light in
you.
