My mom emailed me last week to let me know I needed a new blog post. So, here it is. Hello. I'm still alive and well. I'm not injured. I'm not sick. I'm not pregnant. None of these are reasons for my lack in posting. I've just been busy. Busy running. Busy swimming. Busy boot camping (my new love, by the way. Camp Gladiator - love.it.) . Busy working. Busy spending time with my family and enjoying the summer. And, well, in the free time I do have, I haven't felt compelled to sit in front of a computer and write about my training (it's really not that exciting anyway!).
I will say that I have been a lot more laid back with my training this time around, and maybe that's part of the reason I've felt it not to be document worthy. Maybe I'm tired of constantly chasing the clock or putting so much pressure on myself to attain an arbitrary number; maybe it's a little bit of the "been there, done that" feeling; maybe I've found joy in new challenges such as swimming and boot camp; or maybe I've just remembered how to run simply for the joy of running. Whatever it is, my attitude has been different with this training cycle, and I believe it's for the better. I'm still working out hard (and maybe harder than before if that makes sense?), but my focus hasn't been a narrow tunneled vision on running. I'm still training for Fall marathon(s), but right now, I have no plan of attack. No goal in mind. And that's alright by me.
So, here's what I've been up to, in pictures.
