I’ve probs bitten off more than I can chew BUT.. I’m running the London & New York marathons this year, 4 weeks apart... 🇬🇧🏃‍♀️🇺🇸 I’d only ever ran the sporadic V slow 5k until last year - a V bleak time of grief when that low mileage became a meditative go-to. Then last winter, I joined a casual Sat AM club & found some special people who made me believe I could do more than I thought ❤️ So I ran 10k. Then I ran my first half this May. Without training... Just Do It. Eh? ✔️ Now I’m attempting to run two actual marathons. On Oct 2 and Nov 6. Lol! This time, I got my own training plan from a (female!) coach, and a fitness watch. I even downloaded Strava! I’m nervous but excited & hoping I’ll finish — and I’ve decided to fundraise for @mindcharity, an organisation apt for lots of runners, & which offers people support & solace that might change their life. If anyone would like to donate, the link is in my bio. Mega thank you to @newbalance and @tagheuer for each giving me my bibs // + my watch! All the love to @yourfriendlyrunners - obv ❤️ and @hotboysathletics 🔜 💅🏻 On yer marks I guess! 🏃‍♀️😬🏃‍♀️ @londonmarathon @nycmarathon
