Totally forgot I had signed up for the half marathon
@expocitydubai @promosevensports Sunday until I received the email about race pack collection.
I was unsure whether to bother doing it because I hadn’t trained and had only been managing about 1 run a week.
I don’t like not doing things I say I’m going to!
This year my training has taken a hit and I’ve not been able to train how and when I would like.
And I’ve had to just focus on my health and recovery.
Finally felt the best I’ve felt all year tbh 🙏🏼
So i wasn’t going in to this with any expectations other than showing up, which is usually what I do best! I know how to show up 💁🏼♀️
The run felt good and I was just running at a pace I felt comfortable maintaining, until about 18k when I got a stitch and I kinda had enough. But knowing I was close to the end is what mentally kept be going and I’m absolutely over the moon that i did 🙌🏼
Managed to knock 5 mins off my PB!! 🥳🥳
1.47 ➡️ 1.42
Really hoping that I can get back into a consistent routine with training again.
Theres a goal I would like to achieve this year! So let’s make it happen!! 👊🏼❤️
