Marathon Monday (Week 3)

Week 3 staterd off absolutely fantastically!!! I did the first two runs and was feeling great when I woke up wednesday morning feeling like I had been hit by a truck. I knew exactly what was wrong but dragged myself off to work, I only made to until about 2pm, then I came home and collapsed into bed. My fantastic mum had my boys for me so I could get some sleep. I dragged myself t the doctor to be told what I already knew.......TONSILITIS!!!!! I am sooo over my tonsilis! I am on a waiting list to have them taken out and let me tell you I can't get to the top of that list fast enough!!!!

So this week I am feeling great and ready for a FULL week of running!!!!

Week 3

Tuesday 5km

Thursday 6.5km

Friday 5km

Sunday 6.5km

After this week I am looking forward to the next week of running and changing up the distances a bit!!!

Have a great week!!!

Marathon Monday (Week 2)

I know I didn't post anything last week, I was quite sick with a chest infection, so had lots of early nights and no running, following doctors orders!! (Rare, I know!)

Week 1 - Evaluation

Well I started week 1 with WAY too much confidence, I honestly thought that I could after no running what so ever for quite a few weeks, jump straight back into a 5km & 6.5km run.

At my visit to the docs we also discussed my running and he decided that after being sick and not having run for about a month, he decided that I should do the week 1 schedule at least 3 weeks in a row before moving to week 2, so that is exactly what I am going to do.

I am re doing week 1 this week.

So my running for this week looks like this:

Week Two

Tuesday 5km

Thursday 6.5km

Saturday 5km

Sunday 6.5km

Ok, so I am ready for a fun week of running!!! And cant wait to report on it all next Monday.

See you all then.

Marathon Monday (Week 1)

Last year I turned 30!!!!! (I know 30!) Anyway that's not really this point of this post!
At my 30th birthday birthday I made a decision, a big decision!! I am going to run a marathon!!! CRAZY YOU SAY! Why yes I think I might be.

I have amazing inspiration. My grandfather was a Marathon runner and trained every morning and every night, running anywhere between 20-30km a day. He died when I was 11 and nothing would make me happier than to be able to follow in his footsteps.

My amazing grandfather!

So having made this huge decision, I enlisted the help of my uncle,he wrote me out a program and even came running with me at 5am most mornings
He ran a marathon a few years back and runs all the time, who better to ask to help me out?!?!?!

It was all going really well and lasted about 8 months THEN... I got lazy and it all stopped, so now I am going back to beginning and starting my training all over again, this time I was thinking, what better way to keep myself motivate than to share it with all of you!!! That way I am accountable!!

Mondays are rest days so on Mondays monday mornings I will weight myself, which means I have to go and buy a battery for the scales as they died. The other rest days are wednesdays and fridays for now but that will change a little as we get going. Sunday is long run days, and again as I get going these will get really long!!!!!! 

Week One

Tuesday 5km

Thursday 6.5km

Saturday 5km

Sunday 6.5Km

At this point I am not really interested in times so I won't include them but as I get to the point that I can comfortably run 18km, it will be more about times and improving them.

Ok so wish me luck!!!!! Watch out Tuesday I have 5km to smash!!!!!!! Eeek!!!



Proud Mummy Moment

Tonight we headed down to Pooraka Football Club for the AGM and the Junior Presentation Night. We started with the AGM, where my lovely Dad (who is the club President) suggested quite a number of times how much he would like me to be on the board. So you are now looking at one of the newest members of the Pooraka Football Club Junior Board.

Then after all the excitement of the AGM it was onto the Juniors Presentations. Firstly they started with the Under 7's, then onto the Under 8's.

First the votes were read out and the Under 8's Best and Fairest was announced..........................

                                                <Insert Proud Mummy Moment>

My little man Damon is the Under 8's Best and Fairest player for the 2011 season!!!!! OMG!!! How excting!!!!! I'm not sure who is more excited me or him.
