Heat Wave, Goodbye

Wow this humidity is really really getting tough.

Every workout feels bad.
I do not like the paces I’m hitting.
The experience is not enjoyable.
The progress is slow.

When I’m out on the roads I think about you: all the other runners who are also suffering through the heat while training toward your goals.

Specifically, I think about my clients and the workouts I’ve assigned to them, and the fact that they are doing! those! workouts! And they’re doing them in conditions that are just as tough or or even more challenging than my own.

No one’s making excuses.

We won’t get faster or fitter unless we do the work, and it’s been a grind. If you’re feeling run down and so ready for a break from the heat and humidity, let me say this:

I’m right there with you.

We are getting the work done anyway,
and we are going to *thrive* in the fall.

Sincerely,
Nicole

    I was very interested to hear this interview with Rooks. (His performance was in my Top 5 Moments of the Olympics which is linked below.) I loved hearing him speak about bringing curiosity to his race. He also talked about putting his focus on what he would do in the race rather than on what outcome he wanted.

👀 Look closely!

My tip for a lower “grocery” bill is to buy last year’s model of shoe.
