Every day is a challenge.
Some days are more challenging than others. Some days meet you where you’re at. Some days take you further than you thought you could go.
And then…there are some days that just kick your ass.
Today is one of those days. 😂
For transparency, I compete. I coach. I work. And I’m human.
Even after a long vacation—one that included an average of 6 miles of hiking every day with roughly 1,100 feet of elevation gain per day—I came home tired. And getting back into the normal training rhythm has been harder than I expected.
That’s okay.
I know I’ll get back to form. More importantly, I absolutely trust my training.
As a coach, I’m constantly reminding my athletes to listen to their bodies, believe in the process, and trust their training. Today, I had to remind myself of the same thing.
We all have less-than-desirable days. Sometimes they’re brought on by physical stress. Sometimes by human emotion. And sometimes there’s no complicated explanation at all…
“I’m just tired.”
That’s part of this journey.
So today, I’m going to live in the moment, give myself some grace, and move forward.
Tomorrow is another day.
Listen to your body. Believe your coach. Trust your training.
And when the day kicks your ass…get up, dust yourself off, and keep moving forward.
