WOL NEWSLETTER 7/29-8/12

Reposted from @bperki15 (@get_regrann) - Today marks 100 days from the trials. Lately I’ve had a difficult time staying motivated. The cold, dark hours don’t make getting out the door any easier. I’ve struggled to get myself in the right gear and the right mindset. Partly because I feel as though I worked so hard and pushed myself to get to the point to merely call myself an olympic trials qualifier. Initially, I was just “excited to be going” or “just want the OT finisher medal.” (I hope there’s a medal 🏅🤞🏻). But I’ve realized that’s not going to get me excited or help me get out the door for runs. So I’ve set some goals. Place and time goals won’t be shared for a while (they are written down for daily reminders). But for now, my goals are to do the “little things” that all add up over time (stretching, core work, sleep, good eating habits). It’s also my goal to keep a positive attitude and minimize complaining. During my last marathon build up, I learned a lot about what the body can accomplish if the mind is on board. I also want to focus on me and my training and not compare myself to what other qualifiers are doing. “Comparison is the thief of joy...”- maybe steph Bruce @stephrothstein in a podcast (🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️can’t remember). I know it won’t be easy, but I know it’ll be worth it. Everyone in my corner- I love you and thank you for allowing me to follow my dreams. @sailfish718 @ceemerritt @gcope20 @cope2214 @slideonkais @blake.curtis62 @bkelly1515 @erdeleo @alicekassens @iamwithoutlimits @axis_fitness @mikebarnhart_axis @tclifford626 @diana.davis.rd @fastmotherrunners #axisfam #iamwithoutlimits #withoutlimitsyouth #richmondhalfmarathon #atlanta2020 #otq2020 #atlanta #motherrunner #richmondmarathon2019 #runnersofinstagram - #regrann

Reposted from @crbai - Time to get focused. After a few weeks of lower mileage and unstructured training, I’m looking forward to getting back at it. I have a couple of months before @nycmarathon training starts, so I’ll build mileage and mix in one or two sprint tris and hopefully a fast 10k. - #regrann

Reposted from @aaronkolk (@get_regrann) - It’s race week again! Pictured is last time I did IM 70.3 NC in 2017. @tclifford626 took the win going 4:02 and I was 10th overall in 4:19 capping off my first season of triathlon. Last year the race was cancelled due to the devastation caused by hurricane Florence. Let’s see if we can keep the trophy local 🏆 . . . . #iamwithoutlimits #embracethechallenge #fuelandslay #rockthew #wattieink #chaseadventure #wilmington #northcarolina #nc #coastal #capefear #wrightsvillebeach #ironman #ironman703 #ironman703nc #tri #triathlon #swim #bike #run - #regrann

What's your "why" you run, swim, bike? ⠀ ⠀ Robin Boucher shared his "why" - Robin started Without Limits about 1 year ago (getting 2 practice swims in with Coach Kristen and going to swim at the Y) and also continued improving his eating habits. Something he has been doing for about three years now.⠀ ⠀ Robin just had his physical and his Doctor reported not only is he 20 pounds lighter vs. last year but his total cholesterol decreased from 203 and is now 71. The good cholesterol increased from 57 and is now 67. And bad cholesterol decreased from 117 and is now 94 that is the LDL. This is AMAZING and so inspiring!! Keep it up Robin!⠀ #iamwithoutlimits #dowork #embracethechallenge #yougotthis #runnersdailyvitamin #bestrong #bestself #runner #runchat #humansoftriathlon #running #trailrunning #swimbikerun #marathontraining #runnersofinstagram #runnersdailyvitamin #enduranceforlife #humansofrunning #runnersworld
