SO! I completed a marathon... and then what??
It has been seven months since I completed a marathon. I went on to run a couple more races (RnR Vancouver for one). In November I decided I needed to try something. I needed to RUN A MARATHON.
But this time the group is larger. More exciting. Not faster, that is for darn sure.
Anyways. I believe we are about 9 weeks out from said marathon. Longest training run this round was 26 km. It was BRUTAL. We keep getting the lovely winter weather of the south coast. Rain. Wind. The end.
The training group I am with is made of 2 sub groups, you could say...
The Super fast, aiming for a BQ fast group. And then US. The plodders. The ones who would just like to finish. Alive. Breathing. Walking at the very least. Not crying.
It has been interesting. I love my running friends. But after training for the last marathon mostly solo I find myself sometimes wanting to run those long runs solo. But then not. Because that last run would have been a lot less positive if I had been alone.
I feel like I need to do a recap of the past 7 months, and I probably will. But not today. While the children are screaming around me and I am guzzling a coffee before it gets too cold I just do not have the mental capacity (or 30 seconds of quiet) to bring back the time past.
What I really need is a keyboard for my tablet so I can type from anywhere :D lol....
Ok ok. I will try again later.
Peace out Home slice
