Feeling really good out there ATM πŸ˜ƒ

Past two weeks all my runs have felt strong and noticing I can go faster for longer even the last couple of Ks on my 10 Mile run last week... And after a weekend watching the London Marathon I'm even considering whether to train for my first πŸ€” 🀣

I'm planning to run another HM very soon.. looking like the weather may be perfect over the weekend β˜€οΈ

My first year Runniversary is next month, which has me reflecting how far iv came in this time πŸ’ͺ

I'm in such a better place mentally, dealing with the aftermath of my cancer is so much easier.. getting out running 3 times a week with the headspace it brings.. changed many more aspects of my life πŸ™ I strength train on non run days and eat much healthier, lost over a stone in weight and muscle tone is really showing πŸ’ͺ

Having this forum watching everyone's progress from a year ago till now, really is so inspiring.. just love it!!

Thank you all πŸ€—β€οΈ

A very inspiring post from you sparky66, well done on that run. So you are thinking of training to run a marathon, London or elsewhere, good luck.

Altogether sparky66 you would probably have to pay well over Β£100, Edinburgh is a very expensive place for anything, I went a visit there in August, did not buy anything when I saw how expensive everything was, for example, a Bounty chocolate bar was Β£1.40, the other day I bought a Bounty Bar near to where I live, it only cost 79 pence, so if you wish to go to Edinburgh start saving now.

Omg Β£1.40 for a bar of chocolate 🀯I've got lots of family in Glasgow so maybe look for a race event there next year πŸ˜†
