'In the pub?' he replied.
Not the response I was hoping for but perhaps a sign that my world is no longer the 24/7 running focussed one it once was. And then it came flooding back to me...
The hours messing about with my spreadsheet of training sessions, adding up miles covered; the complete lack of free weekends for fear of missing my long run; and all those freezing and snowy evenings spent running.
And I'm feeling very nervous about whether I can really do it all again, and dare I even think it, do better? But I'm also so excited. I mean, this is London, the world's top marathon (well, according to Runner's World). I am really lucky.
Congratulations Sophie! It was meant to be, now pack away all those negative thoughts, you can do it all again and whatever the outcome (better time or not) you'll have a ball!!! Go Girl! Bring on the snow runs!
ReplyDeleteFrom personal experience, I completely appreciate where you're coming from in this blog. I gave up the ghost a few years ago now and that's really when I started fully enjoying exercise rather than stressing about it. I also found that it didn't have the negative effect on my fitness that I anticipated...quite the opposite
