The marathon journey

[turnturtle]

I am now in week 9 of my Bath half marathon training plan and thought you might like to see the hardships I am enduring in my 2016 Berlin marathon quest. I'm in Australia for a week and risked lethal snakes and spiders to do my tempo run this morning. The scent of eucalyptus and the song of lyrebirds just added to my trials

Looks gorgeous TT but I'm not sure about the snakes and spiders. Give me mud and rain any day!

[AncientMum Graduate10]

Right up until you mentioned the spiders and snakes I was thinking "Ooo how lovely!" What a difference those 3 little words make 😱 Stay safe and enjoy your training x

I will AM. I am assured the snakes will keep away if they hear me coming so my heavy breathing is paying off.

Wow thats pretty turnturtle! Loving the thought of eucalyptus scent and birds, maybe not the snakes and spiders! 😊
