🌿 Wellness Wednesday 🌿

Today’s focus was trying to stay in Zone 2 during my run 🏃🏻‍♀️… and whewww 😅 it was definitely more challenging than I expected. My heart wanted to race faster, so I had to intentionally slow my pace down and remind myself this wasn’t about speed today — it was about building endurance and teaching my body to stay controlled.

I still completed two consistent running rounds around my neighborhood followed by a cooldown walk 👏🏻. Even though my pace slowed a little, I’m actually proud of that because old me would’ve tried to push harder instead of listening to my body.

My average heart rate was 143 BPM and stayed pretty steady throughout the run, which tells me I was working consistently without huge spikes or crashing out. The second split showed my heart rate climbed a little more (148 BPM) even though my pace slowed down — which honestly shows endurance work is still new for me and my body is adapting. That’s part of the process and totally okay 💪🏻.

One thing I’m learning with running:👉🏻 Slower does NOT mean weaker.👉🏻 Controlled effort builds the foundation.👉🏻 Endurance takes patience.

Little by little we keep improving. Consistency over perfection always 🙌🏻🏃🏻‍♀️

P.S.

I am owning my “beautiful” bitch face run shout out to

@Kathleen Haney

and

@Kelly Langford

to update my face to “beautiful bitch face”. Trying hard to hold a smiling face like the run was easy peasy but deep down I wasn’t motivated to run. This community is constantly in my head when I work hard. Each and everyone of you has a special place in my heart. Thank you for your love and support. The squad of cheerleading is bottomless. Love you guys more than you know.
