Life Lately: May
Happy June, everyone! Before it gets too late in the month, I wanted to do a life/monthly update. May was definitely an...interesting month for me. I feel like everything and nothing happened all at the same time and now I'm stuck trying to decide on the direction of my life all over again (but what else is new, I guess).
VLOG | February Happenings
I've been meaning to get back to vlogging for months now. I've always found excuses as to why I haven't kicked my butt into gear to actually get more vlogs out there, but I'm happy to say I finally threw something together for the end of February.
The Trouble In Racing After Time
I don't know if I've ever mentioned this on the blog before, but I'm not a fan of the indoor track season. Never have been and probably never will be. I'm not sure if it's the endless frustration that always seems to occur or that it's so short that you never really feel as prepared as you should be.
Weekly Review | Excited And Fatigued
This past week seems to have simultaneously dragged on forever and zoomed by. Since BU didn't start school until Thursday, I was still on the cusp of getting into my full routine of training, coaching, and working. Not only that, I planned on having my season opener at the BU Multi-Team Meet on Thursday. Every day until then definitely seemed like it dragged on forever.
Monday Motivation 23 | Do Not Fear Perfection
I'm constantly stuck in a period of editing. Editing my writing. Editing my thoughts. Editing my life. All in search of finding completion. But not just any sort of completion. It has to be perfect.
Podcast On Repeat: Do Go On
Anyone that have ever been my roommate at any point in the last few years can tell you a few constants about me. I'm a loud eater. I can fall asleep suddenly and unexpectedly. I'm always listening to something.
I don't know why, but I've grown to dislike the quiet. I like to have a constant ringing in my ears to fit whatever mood I'm in, whether I'm in the mood to destroy a hard workout or to unwind with a good laugh at the end of a long day.
Lately, I've been listening to a new podcast and couldn't put off telling everyone about it any longer.
2017 | Hang In There
2016 has been a weird year. My first inclination was to describe the year as a wash. I feel like I haven't progressed as much I wanted to in all the ways I wanted to. There are still so many things I need to work on, and as every year passes it's getting a little harder to say "It's OK. I've got time. I'm still young."
Motivation Monday 21 | The Off Days
Expect 20% of your training sessions to be “duds”. Off days. Days where your strength just “isn’t right”. Don’t let it rattle you when it happens because it’s normal. Go home, eat, rest and sleep well, and come back the next time with a determined attitude.
