So a few
weeks ago I went to watch my friend Gwen run the
london marathon, it was completely amazing, she was
amazing. She is HARDCORE she complited the run in
3hrs 37 mins and has qualified for next year and to
start with the women elite, she was very excited. WHY
WOULD YOU WANT TO DO IT AGAIN???
Anyway it inspired me and although I have said before yeah i'd like to do it but I can't run that far, I announced to my boyfriend and anyone who happened to be listening "i'm gonna do it next year" He laughed in my face "yeah right, you'll never do it" he said. Then he whisphered to anyone who was listening "I'm only saying that coz it'll make her do it of course she can do it."
OH DEAR
So yesterday i entered the ballot for a place. And registerd with 3 charities just to make sure.
Mike said "you'd better get some running shoes, we'll go to the marathon shop" and that is where I found myself this afternoon, having some shoes fitted by a man who is about to run 52 MILES in August. Is he CRAZY? Anyway the shoes were really comfy, they made me feel like I could DEFINITELY run a marathon. Then the man put me on the running machine. "Try them out" he said
Mild panic on my part, "Oh god, What if I fall off?" I thought
Anyway I ran and Mike and the man even commented on how much of a natural runner I looked.
I bought the shoes.
When I got home I thought I'd better go for a run, darling Mike came with me on the bike, I ran non stop round the park (just over a mile) IT was SO HARD. My face was very red Mike commented I looked like a beetroot (just as we passed 2 girls) "That's what happens when you've run 10 miles" I said loudly so the girls could hear! hee hee BUT IT'S NOT A JOKE IS IT? I'm gonna have to do that soon AND MORE..
Anyway anyone would think no one had ever run a marathon before the way I KNOW I am going to go on about it but if I write it down then maybe I won't moan on to anyone.
So watch this (DULL) space as training for the London marathon begins here!!!
