"Day 19 of marathon training. 🏃🏾♀️ This week hasn’t been easy—I’ve missed a few days struggling with depression and migraines. Honestly, I don’t talk about my depression much because I’m so used to being the 'strong one.' Growing up, I was taught to keep it in, suck it up, and drive on. But some days, even the gym, which is usually my therapy, doesn’t work. Sometimes, I’m just mentally and physically stuck. Today, I forced myself to get up, put myself together, and try to change my mood. I won’t lie—I was just going through the motions. But showing up is better than not showing up at all. Here’s how today went: Total Body Strength Training 💪🏾 4-mile run 🏃🏾♀️ Splits: ✅ Mile 1: 13:03 ✅ Mile 2: 12:03 ✅ Mile 3: 11:08 ✅ Mile 4: 11:07 I’ve realized a few things: hyperextensions are a no-go for my lower back, and finding the right sneakers is a priority to manage my plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendinitis. This journey isn’t easy, but I’m taking it one step at a time. ✨ Ready to crush your own goals?
