To me a long run is five miles. To some people that’s so long they can’t believe it and to other people that’s barely getting started. To me it was the perfect distance that my body wanted to move.
when I started my run, I was really out of rhythm. I was going too fast, I couldn’t find the right tempo and then when I did I would approach a stop light where I had to pause and lose my stride. I was getting frustrated but then I just kept trying to remember all the times I had a really good tempo for my run! And eventually I leveled out and got there. My goal for March was to run 50 miles and I hit that pretty easily (Thank you to the weather gods). I think the best thing about running is listening to your body, appreciating what it gives you (which is different for everyone!), and seeing constant progress even if it’s small.

I’m not really a fan rn because marathon training has been hell but it’s a good time to ponder and reflect on anything (triathlons dont let you wear headphones so i go no music sometimes). Definitely try going on scenic routes and change it up every now and then, treadmills feel better for your legs but it’s such a boring run not having anything to look at.
Tbh running isnt for everyone either, I have way more fun and look forward to a good swim or bike ride, and thats ok! Shoutout to everyone who enjoys running though, i wish i was you!

running has always been go-to cardio for me but I’ve never appreciated it, always just did it to say I worked out. until recently !! I decided to enjoy it and I guess that mindset switch was what I needed to not rush through it, to run through the pain, and have fun listening to my playlists, run farther. it has become rewarding in a way I never thought of running as being

Yeah severance is the best tv show on right now and I will watch it and discuss the nuances and the shots and coloring and the writing!! like That’s art, that’s critiquing culture, that’s bringing something new to the table
I will ALSO sit my ass down with wine and popcorn and watch the new love is blind episodes(and love island this summer!!!) because tv can also serve the purpose of shutting my brain O-F-F !!

You can always redownload it. If I keep opening Pinterest during work, just delete it for a while!! I can download it again.
Also we all know I mean Twitter and that I can’t go on it bc it will depress me .
