^throw myself into the fire 🔥 😆

Oh yay! I appreciate you posting this. I’m in my rest week, in planning mode too after my half marathon. But, excited 😆 that tomorrow, I’m gonna through myself into the fire as an introvert to do a local 7am group run. I’ve been wanting to do it for a while, held by the downtown location of one of our local Running store chains. I did their winter running training class & had fun 🥶 😆 I see that they have various pace groups & distances. It’s huge & super well-organized. I know from my past days as a mountain bike & road racer, it really helps to train with others. I’m enthralled by some of the coaches who head the group run too. The head coach gal has run for 46 years. I feel like I need to meet her, haha. Destiny! We moved back to our college town in 2017, buying a house last one on a dead end by the woods & trails/connections to trail system. So many people run or bike by our house. It was only time before we fell back into the rabbit hole. 😆 The pandemic helped us get back into our athletic stuff. My hubby JT returned to cycling: mountain biking & road and even BMX racing 😆 and he got a gravel bike.

Oh yes. Was a new one in John’s Good Morning post today

Thanks 🙏🏻☮️💖 I enjoyed learning from everyone here 👏🏻

P.S. I had a post it note with my goal time on both my corkboard and closet during my 16 weeks of training. I ended up doing 1-2 minutes better. I will definitely need to revise my next half marathon goal time 😅 I was hard on myself a bit last night, but I realized my race yesterday is one of the most competitive/fast ones in my state. If I had run in another city here in my state, I saw my time would be top 5 in my age group, instead of my 20th place yesterday. I’d rather race with fast people than get a certain place 😆 You learn more. I’m inspired by the gal though who won my age 50-54 group at 1 hours, 45 minutes. Dang!

Oh thank you so much 😊 🙏🏻☮️💖😅 I need to use what I learned with this half marathon for my daily music practice. With next races, planning to do 5K & 10K as build to 10 mile The Crim and early October half marathon 😅

Thank you, much appreciated 🙏🏻☮️💖⭐️

Thank you so much 🙏🏻☮️💖🎉

Oh thank you so much 😊 and congrats on your recent off road tri! 👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻☮️💖

How stellar! Congrats! 🎉

That’s all so amazing 🤩 Go you! 👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻☮️💖

I’ve not technically done it, but I had an evaluation on my past right hip injury by a guy who was a PhD physical therapist who led CrossFit classes and was very serious about it himself. It seems like there’s some skilled people out there leading classes. I’m picky 😆 about who I see or work with, so I get you. I grew up with a mom who was a physical therapist 😆 and was surrounded by PTs, OTS, and athletic trainers all of my life. What is super cool is CrossFit lets you take their educational classes online in pandemic. The level 1 looks super interesting.

It’s totally true. 👏🏻 I turned 50 in January and so far, it’s always been true for me.

😅👏🏻👏🏻☮️💖 🐝

No worries ☮️💖🕉
