Today began the first week of my 24 week building phase....
24 short weeks....
Building a new relationship with my food...
A deeper relationship than then one I already started just 4 short months ago....
The baby steps to my ultra distance and speed goals.....
24 weeks to build the first block of my 2 phase plan...
24 weeks, that lead into 24 more weeks...
That lead to....
Well....
I'm not sure.....
They lead somewhere....
The goal race at the completion of the program??
The physic that I've been desiring???
The absolute snub to the words "your just not as serious about your training as I am"....
Or does it just lead to that feeling....
The profound...
Oneness.... Calmness...
The peace...
And connection with myself...
That I felt.... that I still feel from my last long run....
24 weeks into a journey of self discovery....
A better life....
A better version of me....
24 weeks... starting with a rest day and followed by 6 short miles.....
6 short miles....
It seems like just moments ago I was doing my first 5K celebration.....
My first 10 K race.....
When a 25K baby ultra seemed like a bucket list goal....
And now....
I cannot help but pass a road sign and figure out how long it would take me to run the remainder of my trip....
I describe my home in proximity to the airport as "running distance"....
And I dream of the day running gear is consider business casual.....
Yes.....
Today started with a rest day....
And rest I must....
Because tomorrow...
I run!
