#running journal
Tumblr it’s been awhile. The last few weeks have been buuuuusssyy. But this smile is the smile of a girl who just crossed the finish line of her third half marathon in 27.5 hours. This was my first dabble in back to back endurance events and it was brilliant! It hurt, a lot, but I spent the weekend surrounded by the most wonderful people and learned just how strong I can be ❤️
Yesterday’s run was probably the last of this years snow runs. Happy girl and happy pup
41km in 27 hours for these girls. Currently training for 3 half marathons in 2 days at the end of February and wondering why I thought it was a good idea to sign up for that
Tired, tired girl this evening

Back to back runs and doctors visits Back to training while also being back to antibiotics-the joys of yet another ear infection and bought of vertigo.
But oh it feels good to be back running into the sunrise.
2018 it’s been interesting. There’s been high highs and crushing lows. But 1700km has allowed for a lot of self reflection, discovery and growth. Here’s to 2019, hopefully with many more miles and memories, and a few more highs and less lows. Too much to aim for a hospital free year?
@improvingovertime tagged me for a selfie! Yesterday was my first proper run in 10 days! I’m taking some much needed down time and trying to recharge the battery’s before my next training cycle
@weirdturned-pro@redheadfl@natemed18 you’re up for a SDS
Last race of 2018 for me and I definitely saved the best views until last. 9am start with the most beautiful course. A killer of a hill in the middle and an upset tummy and the pukes didn’t make it the most pleasant race experience but I’m so glad to have done it, and finished it
2018 has been my first year running, in that year I’ve done a 10km, 2 10 milers, 3 half marathons, a 30km and a marathon. I’m looking forward to gently finishing this year out before looking ahead to what 2019 will bring ❤️ happy running everyone ❤️
Saturday is the final race day of the year for me. I’ll be travelling down tomorrow to break up the journey. This race was supposed to be my first half marathon last year however at the time I was too sick to travel never mind run.
I’ve come a long way in that 12 months, but I also have a long way to go. I’ll be travelling solo without the support of my husband or my race wife and it will be my first race without having one of them by my side. It’s something I find daunting, I’ll have no one to calm my nerves, tell me it’s all going to be ok and laugh with me at finish line when the nausea kicks in. For many people this wouldn’t matter, but for me it does. We all have our difficulties to overcome, and what might seem silly to one person is major to someone else.
Good luck to anyone racing this weekend, or just running in general-go get those miles
So one genius slept through her alarms this morning and missed her run and was like a bear with a headache for the morning because of it.
I managed to salvage it this afternoon by tagging on to a friends 10km so got some bonus miles! For once I left the phone behind, enjoyed the conversation and learned that yes I do need a headtorch for late afternoon runs (spot the morning runner!).
