Where's it gone?

I Just Can't Get Up...

So for the last two weeks my body and mind have decided to hit that brick wall and don't want to do anything. I will convince myself the night before that I will get up and go out running, yet when it comes to it, snoozing the alarms seems the better option.

I did thinking about running at night but I live in an area new to me, so don't know where's not safe when it's dark. So I guess for now its early bedtimes and early mornings!

I know running this marathon it going to be difficult and I should be training at least once a week with exercising in between, I've just lost all motivation :(  I don't want to let anyone I'm running for down.

On a brighter note, I have got my t-shirts and transfer paper to let the whole of town know I'll be running the London Marathon :) If you see me passing (when I kick myself out of bed) feel free to give me a smile or a wave, I'm sure that will keep me running for a little longer when the energy in low :)

The first run

It had to rain...

So it had my first run, just over 4 miles :)  I ran with my mum and her friend who have both run the marathon (2013). I have run previous, I ran the Southend half marathon and what a struggle that was! Ive learnt my lesson and know I need to train hard!!
I didn't feel well and I was very close to saying I wouldn't go until I remembered, in 7 months time I have a big event to complete. So up I got and out I went, It was cold and pouring with rain and I knew it could make my cold worse but training had to start, I also reminded myself i still had to run on the big day even if I was unwell  so this was the best training I could get!

I have to say it was very cold, I'm going to have to treat myself to some long running legs before the snow hits us!

Mum was great running but she does worry, telling me not to push myself to hard and to stop if I need to. I never listen to her and she knows I don't, if I was to stop I feel I would be failing and if I don't push myself I feel I wouldn't get anywhere.




This is me finishing up, I'm really not prepared yet! especially not for this weather, thats a borrowed jumper because all i have is vests.



Just a tip for anyone that wants to run, dont put make up on! if you do, choose waterproof, as you can see I have panda eyes because i didnt think on this! :)
