Run away 🏃‍♀️
What a shame… The cold I caught at the beginning of the week sat really deep. In the morning, I thought the coughing wasn’t as bad, but it was. I couldn’t get any air during the swim—first swimming alone for the first loop, and then, just a few minutes into the bike, I had to call it a day. I didn’t even make it up that first little hill.

So many demons and dark thoughts running through my head after this. The term roller coaster 🎢 doesn’t even do justice to the journey I’ve been on since last year. But one thing remains: keep positive. The story isn’t over yet.

Exploring new places between training sessions!
A little sightseeing between my bike and swim today—these days keep me going.
Can’t wait for my hip to heal so I can hit the run again!

**🚴‍♂️💪 Progress, Not Perfection 💪🚴‍♂️**

A year ago, my training was derailed by a bike accident. Since then, it’s been a journey of ups and downs. Lately, some hip pain has been interrupting my flow, and honestly? It’s frustrating. 🥲

But here’s the thing: progress isn’t linear. Some days are harder than others, and that’s okay. I’m learning to listen to my body, respect its limits, and celebrate the small wins along the way. Every step forward, no matter how small, is still forward. 🌟

To anyone else struggling with setbacks—physical or mental—remember: healing takes time. Be kind to yourself. You’re doing better than you think. 💛
