Buddy’s Big Bobble Bimble:
Today I ran a time-limited trail event in some of the most horrendous conditions the North East could muster. I was targeting 6 laps (which would have seen me complete my first ever marathon) instead I completed 17.5 miles (28KM) my furthest ever distance.
But instead of being happy with that I was absolutely gutted. I’d lost all perspective of my achievement and why I do this in the first place. That was until Sue provided me with a timely reminder.
Thank you Sue for all of your support with all of my running, I love you loads x. Sitting here now in a potentially mild hyperthermic state my perspective is back and I can now appreciate another running achievement. The marathon can wait… until next year….
