Day 53 of 70.

After yesterday’s 13.1 miles, today was definitely about recovery.

My legs put in some serious work yesterday, so I started today with a nice and easy 3-mile recovery walk.

Nothing fast. Nothing crazy. Just getting my body moving, stretching out those tired legs, and reminding them that, yes, we still have 17 days left in this challenge. 😂

Recovery… But Not Too Much Recovery

Later in the evening, I decided I still had a little more in me, so I opened up Gravl and got in a strength workout.

I’m trying to get better at listening to my body and understanding the difference between pushing myself and overdoing it.

Yesterday was about testing my limits.

Today was about keeping my body moving while giving it a chance to recover.

And apparently sneaking in a strength workout because I haven’t quite figured out how to sit still yet.

And Then There Was Yoo-Hoo…

I also got to try something new today:

GHOST Yoo-Hoo Protein Drink!

I’m always interested in finding different ways to get more protein in, especially after workouts, so obviously I had to give this one a try.

And…

It was DELISH!

Seriously, this one might be dangerous.

I’ll save the full breakdown for another day after I’ve had more time with it, but my first impression was definitely a good one.

Maybe there’s another review coming soon. 👀

For now, I’m calling today exactly what I needed after yesterday’s half marathon distance:

3 recovery miles. A Gravl workout. Some protein. And another day checked off.

Day 53 complete. 17 days to go. 💪🩷

Real miles. Real mom. No filter.
