May

I seem to start so many blog posts with similar words to..."I have not been running regularly recently" Yet it is the case again as I have not run in the last few weeks but I don't feel guilty as it was a healing time. I have been enjoying walking with Becky and her new born baby and I have loved going to Pilates and kettle bell classes. (I am still one of the weakest in class but I want teach Pilates one day)

 

Yesterday I ran on the treadmill for the first time in about 3 weeks and today it felt good to run 5km outdoors. I now feel ready to get back to running regularly again! :) Tomorrow Bran & I are going for our first cycle ride since we moved back to England 10 months ago!

 

Last month was a year since I ran my first half marathon race. I thought so much about my friends who were participating in this race in Toronto last month. I also remember how grateful I am that Bran, Pete & Joan came out to support me, thank you. I supported and cheered on my friends from a few hundred miles away. I am very proud of them and so I am using this post to say well done to Clans and congratulations to Christa & Conny for finishing their first half marathon!

Well done to Shamita for finishing her first full marathon!

A very big congratulations to Genis for completing the 'Toughest foot race on earth' last month.

Well done to Tanya for participating in Addo Elephant 46,5km trail run (a year ago Tanya had not run further than 10km)

I was also very proud to recently find this inspiring article on the 'not so amateur Dominic': http://missbexx.com/2013/01/09/not-so-amateur-dominic-kreutzner/


Thank you all for sharing your fitness goals and achievements with me, they are an inspiration and my motivation.
