As you may have already noticed I have an unabashed penchant for motivational mantras! I find my inspiration in words that empower & provoke thought for life's challenges, that essentially let us know that whatever hardship we are enduring, there is future & it passes. I've been thrown another curveball this week affecting once again my training for my race. Effin flu. Aches, fever, chesty sniffles have summoned all my strength & it has been tough just to struggle & snot through the days at work.
However. Today is Sunday. & I feel like I have turned that recovery bend & am powering through to the finish line / end of the pounding headaches & month of health issues. I've been knocked around a little lately & I'm just not rolling over & accepting it anymore, I'm taking control!!!
I've been for a tentative 5k run yesterday to check my chest still had the capacity to breathe & a solid 20k this morning where I started to warm up at 16k, I believe a good sign from the running gods that I have some distance foundation within me... With the help of all of the healthy natural remedy go tos - ginger, chilli, garlic, turmeric et al I have kicked the infection to the curb. Readying myself for next week. On Sunday morning, come hail or shine, I will be participating in the centennial park ultra. & another affirmation for good luck xox
