Mixed emotions and a tough few weeks
Tuesday 15th MarThese last 3 weeks have been incredibly tough / frustrating and emotional. On Saturday 27th Feb we had our 16km recovery run (yes it felt short and enjoyable - crazy I know), then as normal I headed off to work. Unfortunately there was a fatal sailing accident at work on Saturday afternoon. I received the call on my mobile phone that no one wants and had to go into emergency management mode there has been a collision and 2 people were badly injured. In summary a friend and fellow sailor was killed and leaves behind an amazing partner and sailor. Another family friend is fighting hard in ICU as we speak.
These last few weeks since have been long/exhausting & emotional with not a lot of sleep. I turned up to running the following Saturday not knowing if I would run or maybe thought I would do 10km or so (the scheduled plan was 32km). I owe it to the amazing group of Can Too runners, coaches and mentors epecially Mandy and John who stayed By me side (even thought I tried to get rid of them multiple times and I got through the whole 32km (with my big breakdown at the end).
Fastwforward another week and it is time for me to run my 42km marathon this coming Saturday 19th March!! To say I feel scared is an understatement.
As I will not be going to Canberra to compete in the official marathon as I am away at the time I will be running my marathon next week with the Can Too team when they run their 35km
26.5 km and tired today!
Saturday 6th Feb
Training to run my 42km is going well!. I have now had 4 long runs which range from 20 - 26.5kms. Each week the distance increases in km's (apart from recovery weeks where we only have to do approx 16km).
This morning we took off at 5.30am and ran from Mona Vale Surf Club to Narrabeen Lake, around the Lake and then turn around and run back around the lake and back to Mona Vale. This took me 2 hrs 43 mins. Not my best time but I was mostly consistent apart from a small necessary break. It did require some discipline to run back around the lake and not just continue towards home!
Even though it was 3.5km longer than last weeks Manly run I enjoyed it alot more as there was less hills!.
So far my body is holding together thanks to Mitchell Woods & also Choolate Box Gym, but I will need a visit to Stroudy at Trident very soon!.
I'm planning to run a marathon in April! - I just can't help myself!
Sunday 17th Jan
Competing in my first ever Marathon last year was a very special and emotional time for me, to think that not only am I assisting in rasing money towards cancer research, I am being a role model for my daughter. Having a great program and team support made this possible.
Thinking that bucket list item had been ticked off I am suprised to find myself committed to doing it again! With the aim on raising more money for cancel and the goal to increase my time and physical fitness.
Thank you to everyone who has made a donation towards my goal
