So for the last nearly 2 years I have been MIA. Literally. I stopped training to finish my Masters in Psychology and then I began to work 80 hours a week to make ends meet. At one point I had 4 jobs and was still barely making ends meet. Welcome to the real world huh?
Last month I completed my first 30 Runs in 30 Days in over 2 years. I completed it while running in my SeeYa's which I absolutely love. I did a loading period with Power Bar High Intensity Beta Alanine and that combined with Mobility work and the Roller made me see Magnificent results. Within 2.5 weeks I had improved my 3.4 mile daily run by 90 seconds and by the end of the 30 days on my best run I managed to drop 2 minutes from when I started.
Total numbers were
28 runs in 30 days
96 miles
24 miles per week average.
I think of all my ventures over the last 2 years the 30 Runs in 30 Days was my most successful. I have been emotionally numb from the draining of the last year. The stress, emotionally and physically was brutal and its taking me some time to feel normal from a mental health point of view. The reality is that over the last year I failed like I never had in my life. I have lost big tennis matches, been robbed of them by umpires, I had pulled out of races because of injuries but I had never been exposed to the kind of failure I did over the last year. I nearly failed with maintaining my relationship with my gf, I had serious debt problems and I was working a job that showed one as much value as being a slave and there is no honour in doing that. I can honestly say that besides having met my gf and stolen her number, quitting everything I had and starting fresh in March of 2014 has to be the best decision I have made since I decided to go to school for a year at Northern Arizona. I have more financial stability, I have had some new doors open but I am still not quite doing what I love which is working with adolescent athletes and children. I have a lot of fixing to do and a lot of learning and accepting to do but I feel I am on the right track. Its about time I get back on here and write and help educate others.
Thanks for reading!
