So today has been a fabulous day 🙂

Firstly the sun has been shining, always a good start. So my run this morning was very blessed weather wise. I also went running with my old running buddy who I rarely get to run with anymore due to our changing work commitments. So we had a lovely 8 miles along the river catching up on news, chatting about the months ahead. Such a great start to the day.

Secondly I took a step toward furthering my career.

Thirdly, and the most amazing part of my day, just got home to my confirmation of acceptance letter form the 2015 Boston Marathon :))))) I knew I was in but there is just something so nice about holding the letter in my hand and reading it with a big smile on my face!!!  At the moment all runs lead to Boston…. this is what my training is all about.

For me running is more than just a hobby, it is who I am. It makes me happy, makes me feel good about myself, gives me confidence in other areas of my life. I mainly get this from marathon training. It’s such a big task training for a marathon, I choose no short cuts only the long route. Then when the morning of the race comes I can stand on the line and be confident that I have everything in my body ready to get me to the finish and enjoy the journey. This is the plan for next year. Boston is the next challenge and then London shortly after, a double challenge for me.

If your thinking I’m crazy then you wouldn’t be to far from the truth!!! But honestly this is something that I am not taking lightly it is a huge undertaking. But still I am totally up for it.

London Marathon has always been my favourite. It was my first experience and is holding a special place in my heart. I truly believe that every runner should experience London Marathon it is awesome 🙂 A party on the streets whilst thousands of runners stream through. I honestly can’t imagine not running it. Teamed with my new experience of Boston that week in will be one of the best weeks of my life. I just know it.
