Day 58 of 70.

Nothing crazy today.

After yesterday’s adventure with my legs turning into jelly, my body was making one thing pretty clear:

I needed an active rest day.

So that’s exactly what I gave it.

No Zone 3 intervals.

No hills.

No strength training.

And most importantly, no leg day. 😂

I kept things simple and went for a light 3-mile walk.

Learning When to Back Off

One thing I’m learning throughout this challenge is that pushing myself doesn’t always mean going harder.

Sometimes the smarter choice is knowing when to slow down and recover.

Between running, hiking, Gravl workouts, my 13.1-mile run, and everything else I’ve been throwing at my body lately, those legs have earned a little break.

I still got outside.

I still moved.

I still completed my challenge for the day.

But today wasn’t about speed, distance, heart rate zones, or personal records.

It was simply about moving and recovering.

And honestly, my body desperately needed it.

Tomorrow we’ll see how the legs are feeling and go from there.

For tonight, I’m perfectly happy checking off another day with an easy three miles.

Day 58 complete. 12 days to go. 💪🩷

Real miles. Real mom. No filter.
