...crossing the finish line of my run today - 70k in 7hours40mins, not a bad effort considering the powers that have tested me & my fitness over the last month. I ran my marathon in 4hrs30, my 50k in 5hrs20 & 64k in around 7hrs which gives me an unofficial PB.
& I loved every second...
The early morning start, at 3am slurping my smoothie & scoffing homemade energy bars watching eastenders!!
The walk in the dark across an unlit park at 5.30am with my head torch & spooky sounds echoing around.
The running, the pace setting, quietly breaking it down & the rush of endorphins as the run progressed.
The friends & supporters who had my back, Careen & her pink vibes, Kim & her "tired legs = sexy legs" signs, Kelly, Andy & Stuart for the laps & laughs.
& my actual back for withstanding the pressure & my sacroiliac joint too, thank you!
The smiling faces of the volunteers, friendly & motivating & a few I fancied!
The strength I found my body to possess & the moments of beauty & purpose & fulfilment.
That's what I loved about today.
A perfect running day xox
