I’m a College Grad!!! & Highest Mileage Week!

I’m officially a college graduate and I’ve officially run 91 miles this week! Crazy day today that went by so fast! Got up at 5:15 to get ready, put on a dress and felt pretty, then went to graduation! I did honestly feel a bit stressed because I always start my day with a run, stretch, walk, something like that, but not today. However, I was still able to come home, go for my run, and feel good.

I’m so fortunate for my parents and sister to come support me, not only today but in EVERYTHUNG I do. So this is dedicated to them. From overcoming a severe eating disorder, running marathons, college graduation, and SO much more, they always are there for me🤍if you guys read this, thank you and I love you!

After graduation we came home, and I went for a run I didn’t want to start but I did (of course) and felt so much better after! As of today, I have run 91 MILES THIS WEEK EEEK! I feel so good too. Thanks to my coach, we have focused so much on food this week, recovery, and knowing that my job is to run. I would have NEVER thought I’d feel this good running that much. This is also my highest mileage week of my ultra prep, next week is a deload 50, then a 70, am 80 mile week, and full taper. I’m proud of myself today. For graduating college (although I’m not done yet!), for changing my schedule, for eating more than I ever have this week, for being smart in training, and for being able to focus on the positives and doing hard things mentally especially with food to FUEL myself. So much to reflect on but I’m excited for what I’m building. Not everyday is great and there are SO MANY highs and lows. I’ll leave this post by saying life isn’t perfect, but there is no fun in perfect. Learn to adapt, be happy, and be grateful for what’s right in front of you :)
