Hi! My name is Bettina and I am a Junior XC and track runner at Smith College! This blog mainly follows my daily training and struggles with Cross Country and Track but may have some other content as well. I'm totally open to making friends! :)
shit needs to get worse before it gets better. wasn’t pretty for a while, endured, just kept putting my head down and taking one step at a time, which is what I will continue to do, starting to feel smooth
my legs are not thrilled with their lot in life, and they’re going to be even less pleased over the next month’s push before my 50k. but i’m stronger than i’ve ever been, and i’m taking care not to overdo it. so: one last short, damp, lunchtime run before the flurry of weekend activities: a corporate holiday party, a harry-potter-themed yule ball, a half-marathon, and my partner’s birthday await!
