London Marathon Countdown 5 Months 17 Days

London Marathon Countdown 5 Months 17 Days

This year ~ My first London Marathon.  After I finished Meeting my wonderful family …

One of the hardest things I have ever done this year was on April 2013…

The London Marathon!!

No no never again!!

 Entered my head and stayed there for many many hours days and weeks…

Then I started think…

Wow, I didn’t expect that to happen! should have done that different? I could that changed that!!

Then came the idea I should really try it again as my first marathon and surly it was only a practise run?

So by the time the ballot opened my husband had convinced me to try again!!

 “Come on I will enter with you, we can get fit together” he said!! 

Go down together, go to the start together and you wont be on your own this time!!

Aww little did I know I was to get through and he wasn’t!!

After the mad crazy thoughts of oh no what have I done?

How will I manage it again?

Will I cry so many times?

Will my knees go again at 12 miles and cry the next 14?

And after the lazy few weeks feeling sorry for myself…

Being run down and now catching a cold…

I am finally ready to start training ,,Yeah!!

The next 5 months will be tough, challenging and really hard work…

But now I am ready for the challenge!!

By race day I want to ~

Take all the excitement in!!

see all the amazing sites!!

Run around with my head held high and not hoping people wont see me crying!!

High five all the spectators at the end of the mall!!


And make my family proud!!


Went out today only 2 miles as I’ve been ill and still have a cold…

But let the run streak begin..

Watch out London, I’m coming at ya!!!
