Such a fun time at the TC 10K this morning!!
Gorgeous weather, great company (way to go Team SĆIȺNEW̱ SṮEȽIṮḴEȽ!!), and the best energy - I forgot that races are SUCH A VIBE 🤩
As I was walking to the start line, I realized I haven’t raced in 2 years…which is the longest I’ve gone without racing since I started running 13 years ago.
So tbh, it’s no wonder I fell into a bit of a dark place the last little while.
Movement & exercise are SO important for my mental health - but even more so with ADHD. It’s what quiets my brain (because otherwise it just doesn’t shut up😆), boosts my dopamine (iykyk😉), and improves sleep…which then improves my focus & productivity at work (where I tend to struggle the most).
As tough as this winter was, it also gave me perspective🙏🏻Without the hard seasons, how would we really appreciate the good ones?
Considering I haven’t been running much & my training’s been pretty minimal these last few months, I’m honestly so stoked with my time AND how strong I felt 💪🏻 I even got a negative split - something I’ve only done a handful of times!
So grateful I was able to move my body, push myself, and race for fun😊
