A New Addition To My Training!

Just when I thought I would take some time off (I was thinking a week or so to recover physically and mentally), I became motivated to start preparing for next year. I have a few goals; I want to be more conditioned and more competitive for next year while still staying strong and powerful. Kimber, an incredible endurance athlete, took me out today to some trails I never even knew existed. We agreed to hold each other accountable for our goals and hit the trails 2 times per week. We will do hill repeats on some brutal hills, as well as increase cardiovascular conditioning through tempo runs/walks mostly uphill. I know she will push me and it is a great opportunity to improve on my endurance and mix up the scenery and training methods. Today was our first day out and I had a blast. I just bought a new pair of trail shoes and I can't wait to use them on Thursday! Before I did the trails, I did OPT's training for today because I am also getting ready to compete with the CrossFit Cadence Affiliate team in the regionals coming up in June!

I took a short break after this training session then hit the trail. Great day of training and I am so glad to be feeling better! Here's a picture of my shoes to "spice up" the post. I know they are flashy but I figured why not!
