When I say that training has gone by the wayside, it definitely has. I love racing hella much, but I love Joni more obviously. Running and the gym have always been my source of therapy; something I use to release stress. Joni’s cancer diagnosis definitely has me releasing stress out on the roads & trails and clanging & banging at the gym! But I just don’t have the mental capacity to stick to something regimented and strict right now. So I’ve been listening to my body and doing what I can.

Another AFC Half Marathon in the books! It was a great tune up race for me to see how training is going for my big race in October.

Why you want to space out your race calendar and how to keep consistently racing year in and out.
