Uncertain Times

Just last month, I reflected on “trusting the process.”

“…the process can’t guarantee us anything. No amount of preparation can completely protect us from a bad race, a mishap or an untimely injury...”

Or from a global pandemic.

This month started out full of anticipation. I’d compiled all the races of every Sifuentes Coaching runner into my own calendar and it was FULL.

Then suddenly the calendar was wiped clean.

“…There is however, one thing we can trust the process to deliver every time: Experience.”

I want to remind you that no training is ever wasted. Even without a race to run, the experience gained and lessons learned in the process of preparation is very valuable. And your fitness doesn’t need to go away.

In the midst of such uncertain times I’m thankful for the ability to run. No equipment required, no teammates required, no gym required.

And I’m thankful for the ability to continue coaching, that this is one small aspect of life that doesn’t have to change or stop while seemingly everything else around us is pressing pause.

So with the hope of future opportunities and the guarantee that no training is wasted, let’s keep running.

Personal Best of the Month

George was fortunate to race on March 8th, just days before the wave of event cancellations began.

He earned a massive lifetime best at the the Kona 10km Shamrock Race in Plymouth, MI.

“Finished in 46.56.7, destroying my previous 10km PR of 51.08!

I had no doubt I would go under 50 mins. I trusted my training.”

CONGRATULATIONS GEORGE!
