Run SY Run

I stepped outside for a few minutes this evening and ended up staying longer than I intended. The sky was showing off, framed perfectly by the pergola and the trees.

I sat there for a while, looking up and appreciating the view. Nothing profound happened and there was no life-changing realization.

Sometimes that’s enough.

Weeks 9 and 10 felt heavier than I expected.

The same meals. The same workouts. The same routines. And if I’m being honest, I started feeling like I should be seeing more by now.

But even with that frustration, I never stopped doing the work. I still showed up. I still trained. I still got my steps in. I know the scale is noise, even on the days it gets in my head a little.

I’ve also had to admit that I’m tired. Not off track. Not unmotivated. Just tired.

So this week I’m taking a deload week before starting Phase 2. Not because I’m quitting, but because recovery is part of the process too.

My word for the year is grace, and I think this is one of those moments where I need to practice it most.

Still working. Still showing up. Still running my race.
