MichelleInto the belly of the build. Five weeks in, five weeks out. Warmer than usual for this time but still cold enough for long tights and gloves. I have been making my own hydration and nutrition for long runs this build. I figured that silicone baby food containers would work for my "gels" - a mix of honey, ginger syrup, and maldon salt. So far so good! My elevation runs are laps of the sledding hill. Boring but lots of time to think and reflect. And it makes elevation on race day seem luxurious! I was observing today how different I feel since finishing the phd. I feel it in my muscles. In my bones. It's been about seven weeks since graduation and I am still marvelling at the change. I am excited for the next five weeks of build! 1040m of climbing today in the middle of my long run today. Yoga practice 1174 - self guided yin. <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/LongRunDone?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LongRunDone</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/SilentSunday?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SilentSunday</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/UltraTrail?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UltraTrail</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/TrailRunning?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TrailRunning</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/Run?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Run</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/Running?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Running</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/DailyYoga?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DailyYoga</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/Yoga?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Yoga</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/PhDLife?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PhDLife</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/PhDRecovery?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PhDRecovery</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/GetOutside?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GetOutside</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/Gels?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gels</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/Hydration?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hydration</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/DIY?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DIY</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/GratefullyGrinding?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GratefullyGrinding</a>

MichelleEnjoying that liminal space between graduation and full time work. Being hedonistic and doing some language training, brushing up on my Mandarin. I lived in Taipei for eight years and my speaking/listening are okay but my written is awful. Time to rectify that! Simultaneously doing French - easier to read and write than Mandarin but more challenging grammar! Funnily enough, during the phd I had access to free French classes but never had time to take them. The last time I studied French was many years ago. I am also learning how to build a website. I have noticed in the past little while how much space the phd took up and how many activities I need to fill that vacuum! All of the learning! <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/Languages?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Languages</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/PhDRecovery?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PhDRecovery</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/LifeAfterPhD?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LifeAfterPhD</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/PhD?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PhD</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/Mandarin?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mandarin</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/French?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#French</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/StudyTime?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StudyTime</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/BrainCandy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BrainCandy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/FeedMyBrain?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FeedMyBrain</a>

MichelleIt's been about four days since the last of my thesis revisions got approved. I am working my way through the administrative processes before I can apply to graduate. I have no more writing left to do. Holy post race crash, batman! I can feel it in my muscles. I am exhausted. I really physically feel like I finished an ultra this week. My legs are exhausted. I'm even modifying my training plan. Post PhD crash is no joke! <a href="https://mas.to/tags/PhDLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PhDLife</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Running" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Running</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/UltraTrail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UltraTrail</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/PhDRecovery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PhDRecovery</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/PostRaceRecovery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PostRaceRecovery</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Run" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Run</a>
