My Journey to the World Marathon Challenge 2021

Where do I start with this one. A two week period to cover off. The first of the two weeks started well with running, gym and swimming going well. On the Wednesday Lyla was spayed and I picked her up from the vet on Thursday. You wouldn’t have known that she had had a major… Continue reading Two weeks of injury

Well this week started well, had a dodgy middle and then ended on a high. Monday and Tuesday I managed to get all of my training in and so felt that I was finally back on track. All went well I was feeling like I was making progress. Tuesday evening I went to a corporate… Continue reading A week of three thirds

This week was a disrupted week, partly due to the Bank Holiday Monday, so I wasn’t in the right area to do my swimming after work, and partly due to life getting in the way. All in all though, it was a good week. Getting back to normal was the theme of the week, so… Continue reading A week of getting back to normal

I MUST take it easy and definitely not lift anything over 5kg. Of course, being a… Continue reading A week of recuperation

At the end of last week the NHS contacted me with a cancellation for an operation that I needed which would make it five weeks ahead of the original time. Recovery would be over the Easter week, so I wouldn’t need to take much time off work. It was a no brainer. I kept my… Continue reading A week of changes

Lambs! I have decided that lambs are now the stupidest animals on the planet. Running on Monday and Wednesday with my husky, Holly, I go through two particular fields. The first one has mature sheep in and Holly completely ignores them as that is the way I have trained her. The second field, however, has… Continue reading Lambs are stupid

Hi All and welcome to my very first blog ever! Hopefully they will improve over time. lol My ultimate target is to do an organized race in February 2021 of 7 marathons on 7 continents in 7 consecutive days. This is extreme for me, well anyone really, so it will take a lot of training.… Continue reading World Marathon’s first blog
