I can’t even remember the last time I wrote in here. It’s
not even that I’ve been busy.. I’ve just been chillin, really. To be honest, I
wouldn’t have thought to write in here again but I’m starting to get my racing
mojo back and I wanted to share the excitement! It’s been almost a year since
my last race… well last “real” race. My friends and I did a fun 5k a few months
ago but that didn’t count.. sorry guys, lol. The last real race I ran was the
Women’s Health half marathon that I usually just dominate. Since I didn’t
“dominate” as much as I had hoped for, I kind of just fell off the racing
bandwagon and gave myself a break. WELL!! Here I am again, ready to KILL this
one I have next month.

| Sunset 5k with the crew |
I've never run this race before—but it’s only a 10k. I
know what you’re thinking.. what everyone else thinks- “Oh, ONLY a 10k,
Brooke?”… Yes.. I mean, it’s way shorter than 13 miles. Sooo 6 miles around
Honeymoon island as fast as I can? DONE. It took me a little while to actually
sign up, but once I did.. something clicked.

| I WILL bring this up! |
For the past year now, my runs
have just been chillin for 10 miles, going the speed of a caterpillar.. not
really getting anywhere except 10 miles farther than I was before the
run. Now I feel like I need to bust outta my turtle slowness and jump into my
crazy she-hulk competition status! For a week now, I’ve been speeding up my
runs outside and also sprinting on the treadmill. I feel like I'm already gaining more energy! Maybe it’s the green tea extract I’ve been taking in
replace of coffee? (Thanks, Joy). Don’t get me wrong, before I run each day, I'm just like you.. I want it to be over! But after the run, It’s a
whole different story. When training, I love when my face is burning hot, my cheeks are bright red
and there is so much sweat happening that it drips all over the base of the treadmill. "Ewww gross Brooke!"
I can’t wait to share how the race went.. I’m really SO
excited to get back into what I love doing – apparently I forgot just how much
I do love doing it!
In other news, works great. Just Supervising and
dietitian-ing it up! We added a new Dietitian to our clan… and we love her. Shout out to Loli!!!!
Adios amigos!
