Solo run this morning and was focusing on recovery today. Completed 1km warmup + 5km run + 2.5 cooldown. Same time last year, I was at my fastest 5km finishing it at 20mins. Today, I am on my journey back to it!
Some resonating thoughts today in relation to this: RESILIENCE AND NOT GIVING UP.
Resilience is about getting back, it is about how fast we get back from tough situations. I may still be building up my endurance and stamina back. But the journey is worth it – having time for myself every run – my new version of my quiet time; utilizing time back to be with friends – our new version of quality time and catching up; and having to be back in the journey in my second life – this time with a lot more appreciation of everyday and every moment.
As I start my 3rd week of getting back to training, I have my spirits up. Did the sub20 last year for 5km almost after more than 6 months into running so there is hope. Getting closer to sub1 for 10k and let’s get working on another faster 5k. Let’s enjoy every step of the way!
