Last workout at high altitude today! This has been a really challenging 6-week altitude camp for me. It’s been amazing to have Kevin and Pie with me outside of practice, but training hard during these tumultuous times has been tougher than I expected.
Last week I was feeling pretty low and couldn’t figure out why. Then my mom pointed out that this week was supposed to be the US Olympic Trials. When she said that to me I immediately teared up a little, which completely surprised me. Moms always know!!! 💕 😭
Even though I know it was the right thing to do to postpone the Olympics, that doesn’t take away the disappointment that we all feel to have our dreams put on hold. Add to that the graphic news about blatant and violent racism in our country and rising cases of COVID-19, it’s all got me feeling fragile and on edge and generally just sad. And it’s totally true that your mental state affects your physical state.
All I can say is that whatever you’re feeling right now, feel it. Recognize it, sit with it, talk about it with loved ones. Trying to ignore the feelings will prolong the pain.
Let’s keep moving our bodies, treating one another with empathy and patience, and taking care of ourselves so we can take care of others who need our help. 🙏🏼
