This is not the end though, it is merely a blip, albeit a necessary blip, to get me to where I need to be. as I have learnt a valuable lesson that training for such a big race takes time and dedication and I just haven't had much of either so far this year! It would have been foolish to carry on with half-arsed training as I would have been in the back of an ambulance by mile 14 and that is not good.
Very soon, I will be moving to a beautiful part of the UK where I plan to be out and about in the countryside/rivers/sea walking, running, cycling, kayak-ing and generally moving towards the happy fit person I was becoming last year rather than the tubby, embarrassing, drunken ijit I have unfortunately slipped back into!
Cycling on Dartmoor. (If this isn't motivation - I don't know what is!)
First aim is to complete another half marathon in the early summer and maybe join a local running club as I probably need some motivation (and advice) from others to keep going.
So, there's not much more to say now than watch this space because someday...there WILL be a photo of me crossing the finish line after 26.2 miles!
