I think that running the Marathon next year is finally starting to hit me!
I'm so excited to have finally got a ballot place after 3 attempts - but it's only 6 months away...SIX MONTHS!!
Today I walked the dog for an hour, walked one and a half miles to Reigate Priory, ran for about 20 minutes (not all at once), had a coffee with some very supportive friends, walked one and a half miles home via the Pet Shop and bakers...
Walked into Redhill and did some shopping. Walked home. Did "STUFF" in the house.
Drove to Little N's school and walked dog before she came out.
Drove home. Little N had her eye on a jacket she just HAD to have!!
Walked into Redhill. Jacket sleeves too short. Did a little wandering together.
Walked home.
Cooked dinner. Little N's friends staying over.
Wanted dvds. Drove to Reigate - Blockbusters. Morrisons for tomorrow's breakfast. Drove home.
Sorted beds out for Little N's friends.
Now sitting down. Aching a little. May ache a lot tomorrow. But I'm loving getting fit and my recovery between runs (!) is decreasing and the length of time I run for is increasing - so I'm really glad..
I'm reading "How to run a marathon" and I've got a dvd to watch too.
Last weekend I timekept for the Surrey Masters and Vets Cross Country Champs at Richmond Park. The women ran 2 laps of 3km each and the men ran 2 laps of 5km each. How can you not be inspired by watching runners of all different ages, compete?
What inspires you?
