Week 11 – Attitude Adjustment Needed
Tweet I was hoping Week 11 would be a better week. I still had the feeling it could have been better. I see how everyone is training at the moment and I know I should not compare myself to others (that’s hard). I am honestly doing the best that I can right now. I want…

Week 10 – What’s a nice way to say “Crap”?

The “Week 1” That Wasn’t
Tweet Last week I had the intention of starting my marathon training up again – a sort of “pre work” to the real Week 1 that officially has a start date of 6th of June… So on Wednesday, 1 June I thought to myself “hey! let’s get this party started! It’s Global Running Day anyway!”…
