Back to Basics

The past two months has been filled with mistakes, fun, growth, progress, and all that good stuff.

I tried all manners of workouts (Pvolve, cycling, weight training, and rope flow among others), attempted and failed 75 Hard, turned to the Carnivore Diet, bought weird running things, and a whole lot of fluff.

I'm overwhelmed and it's all my fault.

Took on too much.

I'm not a single woman who has no responsibilities. I have a family to attend to, a home to maintain, and a business to run. These are not my excuses—this is my life. Running is the sidepiece.

Anyway...

I'm going back to why I started this journey: Run the 2024 NYC Marathon.

The logical next step is to dial things back and focus.

Workouts

• Follow the None to Run training program
• Weight training once a week (full body); the rest are real rest days
• Rope flow for fun, unstructured "play"

Diet

Healthy Carnivore: Mostly animal meat, eggs, dairy, fruits, honey or maple syrup... and the occasional bite of whatever my kids are offering me. Which is likely pasta, rice, or a snack.

75 Hard Quitter for 2023

I've thought about this and I won't attempt 75 Hard again this year. Maybe 2024.

I really want to, but I need to slow down.

Yes, I'm a 2023 quitter.

When do I go hard at it again?

I think once I finish the None to Run Half Marathon program, and start prepping for my marathon training, then I can go real hard on myself.

Right now I want to focus on building my base and getting to a healthy state— focusing on just those two.

I've learned so much and my body is exhausted.
