A Re-Introduction of Sorts

After years of writing a blog and then years of not writing one, I was inspired to start back up again while being stuck inside during a Tropical Storm in SE Texas. Gotta make the best of a rough situation, right?? 

In previous iterations, I have written my fair share of product reviews, race reports, and about mental training techniques, and I plan on touching on those, but mostly wanted to tie together and more than anything just talk about life on here and how to develop and use a growth mindset. 

For those who have never read or followed before, I’m a Counselor and Sport Psychology Consultant by trade and my biggest passions are running, the outdoors, and helping others out-so much I do it for a living. And I’m always game to hear or share a good story!  Hope you find it useful and sometimes entertaining.  I’m not sure exactly where this thing’s going to go but let’s get started!

First up is a little post about selfies, dinosaurs, and perspective. I promise it will make some sense! 


Oh, and if there’s something you want to hear or learn about, don’t be shy and shoot me a message! Adrienne.langelier@gmail.com.

The Art of Letting Go: We Don't Gotta Work it Out

I have a feeling this post may rub some people the wrong way or at least challenge current attitudes. While the latter is the intention of this post, I apologize in advance for the former-but I want to make you think. And of course, just like in any of my blogs, I am writing to myself as much as I am to to the audience. So this is another one for the runners today, but I feel like this could be applicable to other sports and arenas as well. Okay, disclaimers aside, let's get dirty. Yesterday morning I participated in a tradition in my local running community that I always do: informally pace (Sorry, Willie and Co.!) The Woodlands Half Marathon and get a more festive long run in. I also happened to have a really good run this morning after a couple weeks of struggling a bit. You see, after several weeks of amazing training, I started to hit an energy wall. I only had to zoom out just  slightly to see what the issue was: a more-than-usually intense travel schedule, a month of (posi

The Art of Letting Go: Lessons from a Season

Image
This is a post that I have written a thousand times in my head before ever sitting down to put it to actual words. This is also a post that I have thought about and changed in my head probably a thousand and one times. Okay, probably neither is accurate, but nonetheless some noteworthy processes and lessons have taken place over the past 6 months that I want to share with you all-not so I can blast my running accomplishments (because there always will be someone faster and slower than I), but to both document and hopefully equip others to be able to follow a similar path. And while it’s about a racing season per se, this post contains very little racing detail. Sorry, not sorry- you guys should know by now race reports are no longer my thing. This post is about to get open and real, but I don’t think it can be conveyed any other way. So let’s get dirty.   But first, a little backstory: I’ve been blessed these past few months with some of the best training and racing in many, many

Consistency and why it matters.

So, this story begins earlier this week when I get a call from my main office telling me that we, just like basically everyone else in The Woodlands, will be shut down due to a “snow day”. All of you who live in areas not called Texas, feel free to laugh at us-it’s okay. I’m kind of laughing at us myself.   After receiving the call and rearranging all my meetings, I had to reevaluate what to do with the next 24 hours. On one hand, I could stay up late, sleep in, and let it be a rare mid-week free-for-all. I could even never get out of my PJ’s! On the other hand, I could set my alarm for my usual time, get up and run, and keep some structure working from home on projects I struggle to finish during the week. While Option A sounds enticing enough and perhaps more fun-at least temporarily, Option B won. I set the alarm for 5:30 AM, drank all the coffee, had my usual Honey Stinger bar and headed out to run-side note, it’s speedwork day and according to the weather app feels like 18 de
