One foot in front of the other, one pedal stroke before another, one arm stroke before another… whatever your movement is (run, walk, hike, bike, swim, etc…) there’s nothing more true than this statement. Forward motion is progress, and that’s the goal.
This morning’s run was a little test of fitness in prep for this weekend. As per usual, I’m never satisfied with where I am, but considering a string of ups and downs (aka injuries) over the past 2 years I guess I should just sit back and enjoy this ride.

Warmed up then went into a 30’ tempo on the “easy” end of my pace range. Legs felt strong, body was in good alignment, mental fortitude on point. Now we hydrate, continue to fuel well, and focus on optimal rest and recovery for the next 72 hours!
