my training:
- three runs a week:
- one long distance (10km), one 30min (or 5km) focused on speed training, and one run 30 min (or 5km) focused on strength training such as hills and stairs.
my goal:
- run this race in 1hour.
my motivation:
- trail running is one of the most exhilarating ways to explore the forest! i love the physical and mental challenge of the technical terrain. this type of running is completely different form road running and although some might consider it a bit more dangerous, i highly recommend it!! i am so excited to prove to myself that i can accomplish something like this.
i am motivated by others who have also done physical challenges:
- my friend SB ran her first sprint triathlon this past summer!
- my friend JU has become a force to be reckoned with in the world of competitive ultra trail running!
- my mother is about to complete her 100 days of MOVEment and has been hiking every week!
...these (and many more) are the things that inspire me.
my fears:
- i won't have trained enough.
- i won't achieve my goal.
- i will embarrass myself in front of the family and friends who are coming to watch me.
- i will injure myself.
i must remeber:
"impossible is not a fact...it's an opinion"
