Hey guys,
I have been truly inspired by my sisters brother-in-law, last year he lost 5st with WW and trained for the marathon in just a few months. To see what he achieved is just amazing and something I want to feel and do so...
Anyway I'm just putting it out there ( so I can't back out of it lol) that I am starting my training for the Dublin Marathon in October, so 39 weeks and I hopefully will be able to finish the marathon!( I quite literally would be happy with a 6 hour time)
I havnt told my family tho, I said I'm just training for 10k etc because i don't want to look like a failure if I'm not able to do it ?
It's going to be so tough but like my SW journey, I took it half a stone at a time, and I'm already at 3st, 2.5lbs so I shall run (apparently on the treadmill until weather gets better) by time at first, then start battling miles! I can already run 20-25mins non-stop. So first race is in 3 weeks which is a 5k and next is the Great Ireland Run in April to focus on eek.
Fingers crossed I can find the inner motivation for this guys!!! Has anyone got similar goals or has started running lately??
