5KTime trial day 2 out of 3 assessments for the week ✔️ . . Running, ugh, running. Not my strong suit but I keep lacing up and showin’ up. . I dreaded this one. And every other 5k all out effort for that matter. I stretched, worked on tight muscles beforehand and did some warm drills (good ideas but also procrastinating😬) . It started pouring a couple minutes into my warm up and I briefly gave myself an opportunity for an excuse if I bombed it. (Vulnerable thought here) . But alas, Mother Nature wasn’t going to let me off the hook. As quick as the rain started, it stopped. 🥴 And I had no choice but to crank my wheels and push through...breaking my efforts into small bite size increments that were more palatable for my weak mental game. . Since working with @coachjotridot I feel like a sponge absorbing every bit of wisdom she drops on me. I kept thinking small steps, fast steps. And my turn over and cadence, though it’s felt weird at first, just clicks in making me move faster. . Wouldn’t you know it, I clocked my fastest 5K EVER. (Perfectly middle packer type pace, don’t called Guiness or anything 😂, but awesome for ME). . It was a damn awesome feeling to see the needle move in a place where I generally feel like I suck. . Swipe to see my excitement. 😂 I felt like a kid jumping around my driveway afterwards. 🤩 . One more day left in the year. As you can see, I’m not idly moving into 2021. I’m comin’ in hotttt, baby! 🔥 . How about you? What have you on your radar for the 2021? . #doepicshit #gritandgrace #badassisbeautiful #bettysquad2021 #timetrial #roadtoironman #ironmantraining #imtx #ironmantexas #bettysquad21 (at Spring Valley) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJcdioegdkW/?igshid=6suilyctv9of
