“It is your reaction to adversity, not the adversity itself ,that determines how your life’s story will develop.”- Dieter F. Uchtdorf A definite low week. Week 10 brought both the highs and lows of my journey and crammed them side by side, day after day. I feel like I’ve been riding a physical, mental, andContinue reading “Week 10, begin again??”

It’s fine, i’ll be fine…week 9
“In life, we make the best decisions we can with the information we have on hand.”- Agnes Kamara-Umunna I can’t help but feel like the quote above is exactly what we are doing in America right now. There are so many unknown variables in our future that all those in powerful positions must just makeContinue reading “It’s fine, i’ll be fine…week 9”
Week 8, the not so great
“Be strong now because things will get better. It might be stormy now, but it can’t rain forever”- NA I can honestly say I never imagined living at the time of a pandemic. It’s scary and uncertain, probably two of my least favorite feelings ever-fear and uncertainty. A few months ago fear and uncertainty meantContinue reading “Week 8, the not so great”
Uncertainty of week 7
“It’s how we embrace the uncertainty in our lives that leads to the great transformation of our souls” – Brandon Trear I have a feeling that most of you had a week filled with uncertainty this week, too. From schools closing, to restaurants only serving takeout, and all the things in between, it has beenContinue reading “Uncertainty of week 7”
The comeback and coronavirus, week 6
“Everyday may not be good, but there is something good in everyday” -NA This has been the best week yet.

I started theContinue reading “The comeback and coronavirus, week 6”
Week 5-the week of intervals
“You get what you give.”- Jennifer Lopez Week five was another week of mental weakness. Monday was three miles of interval running at AF, and it was more tough than it should have been. Tuesday was 5:30am bootcamp, not bad at all. Wednesday was two and a half miles of interval running at AF inContinue reading “Week 5-the week of intervals”
A new week 4
“It isn’t where you came from. It’s where you’re going that counts.”- Ella Fitzgerald Week four was the beginning of what would become my new normal routine each week. Through my AF membership, I was able to attend any classes held at the gym. For me, this would mean the 5:30am boot camp class everyContinue reading “A new week 4”
Weak 3
Week 3 became weak 3 for me… Had a two miler on Monday that wasn’t great, stopped a handful of times throughout, frustrated with myself to say the least. Wednesday had a busy day job shadowing in the twin cities and ran after at my boyfriends apartment. The first mile was going great, finally aContinue reading “Weak 3”
Week 2!
“Inspiration comes from within yourself. One has to be positive. When you’re positive, good things happen.”- Deep Roy I had to become my own cheerleader in order to have the courage to actually train for this dang thing. Mental toughness is something I’ve always struggled at, so this was a true test of how toughContinue reading “Week 2!”
Training week 1
“Believe you can and you’re halfway there”- Theodore Rosevelt Fun fact about that quote: I painted it on a canvas for my dorm room freshman year of college and it’s come along for all four years 🙂 After signing up for the half, I surfed the web and my resources for a training plan thatContinue reading “Training week 1”
