Nice and steady 🏃‍♀️

Feeling really good out there ATM 😃

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 🤔 🤣

I'm planning to run another HM very soon.. looking like the weather may be perfect over the weekend ☀️

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

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 🙏 I strength train on non run days and eat much healthier, lost over a stone in weight and muscle tone is really showing 💪

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

Thank you all 🤗❤️

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.

Would love to run it in Scotland ❤️

[AlMorr Half Marathon in reply to sparky66]

Edinburgh is holding a marathon on the 29th May 2022.

Thank you Alan... That sounds about the time it might take me to train 👍👏👏👏

£64 to enter

[sparky66 Half Marathon in reply to AlMorr]

Wow that's expensive 😳 then there's train fare, accommodation..ect ect.. but time to save 👍🤗

[AlMorr Half Marathon in reply to sparky66]

Altogether sparky66 you would probably have to pay well over £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 £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 £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 😆

[AlMorr Half Marathon in reply to sparky66]

Welcome, there are plenty of parkruns in Glasgow through beautiful parks.

[sparky66 Half Marathon in reply to AlMorr]

My one and only park run was in Pollock Country Park 😁

[AlMorr Half Marathon in reply to sparky66]

... which was the first parkrun ran in Scotland.

You are doing great sparky, especially after less than a year of running. Well done you.

[sparky66 Half Marathon in reply to linda9389]

Definitely Linda.. when I began a year ago just to run a 5K was all I drempt of.. to think I've ran a few HM,s is quite something 🤯
