Nearly 5 weeks ago I crossed the finish line in London. After huge build up, excitement, hype, atmosphere, nervous tension with a massive target......it all ends, just like that.
What now?
What previously took up soooo much of not only my time but occupied my thoughts so much is now gone. It leaves behind this huge blank space and I have desperately been trying to find something epic to fill it. I even went as far to suggest (after a couple of glasses of wine) that I enter the Island with Bear Grylls before remembering I'm not THAT hardcore (yet!).
How do you match or beat something as amazing as London Marathon?!
Whilst trying to find the answer to this, my running has taken a hit and I just haven't been going or only doing 5ks and very begrudgingly! I hate not enjoying it as running has been great therapy for me as working full time and being a Mummy can be full on and to get some head space is great. But right now, give me slippers over trainers!
What about another marathon?
So many people said to me that when you finish a marathon you forget the pain in a couple of days and want to do another one. No, not me, thank you very much, marathons are not for me. Ask me in 10 years and I might think about it.
To refocus myself I am entering a couple of races and trying to drag myself over the wall I have hit. Time to get back to 10ks and half marathons please! Fingers crossed this will help me pick myself up.
