LONG POST ALERT!!!
I’m not sure where to start this evening, it’s been so long since I last posted I feel like I’ve abandoned you all 🤣.
So like many people I’ve spent just over the last year getting through each day, my goals have changed, changed and changed again 
or should I say moved as my goals remain the same just different dates. My goals even include some new and exciting ones.
I’ve been motivated, unmotivated, suffered with sever sciatica and joint issues where I didn’t really run more than a couple of miles a week for what felt like years but was more like a couple of months. I’ve doubted my self, over if running really is for my and I’ve gained 2 stone in weight!! (this is a working progress to lose it but my running goals are more important to me at the moment and I know the weight loss will come with time).
So to catch up with where I am goal wise moving forward here goes.
London Landmarks was postponed to a date I was unable to attend so my place has been rolled over to next year 
Doncaster half Marathon was booked after this revelation and was cancelled a week after booking
Great North Run 
will go ahead on 12th September 2021.
Manchester Marathon will go ahead 10th October 2021, the route seems to have grown 2 hills 
one being just after mile 4!! Better get hill training 
.
I’m currently eyeing up a few in between races just hanging fire with booking at the minute.
I also have this crazy goal hiding at the back of my mind, I’ll let you into a secret. You are the first person I’ve told this too but I’m going to be saying it out loud more often cause if I don’t believe in myself and don’t believe I can then I won’t.
I want to run an ultra! There you go I said it.
Please pick yourself up off the floor from laughter .
I have a bone to pick with a route I once did many years ago. Not running if you told me 3 years ago I’d be running it would be me rolling around on the floor laughing.
I entered London to Brighton 100km in 2015 I think , very uneducated, under trained, UN fuelled yup I was that person. I got to just before the 80km point (which is in its own right an achievement, but back then I was so dissapointed in myself) my brain and body wasn’t functioning together, I felt sick and knew there was a massive hill climb to still face, fear of not making it to the next stop I made the decision to call it a day. (it was actually 3am in the morning) I didn’t even recognise distance back then like I do now otherwise I might have pushed on.
It’s always been there at the back of my mind niggling away and now I believe I can do it 
.
I’m going to Jeff (or crawl) London to Brighton 2022 in May, only this time I’m going prepared, trained, fuelled and I will cross that line!
If there’s any crazy’s out there reading this that would love to join me I’d love some company along the way. (I can try 🤪)
I’m going to pick up my blogging as my training for Manchester Marathon is well under way, I am using Jeff Galloway 32 week Training Plan, I won’t bore you with every run I do but I will check in from time time, longer runs and any races I managed to participate in. So watch this space!
