So… I signed up for the Cape Town Marathon again.
Despite looking like this at the end of the last one:
I think that the reason I’ve done it is that I really enjoy having a goal to work towards. It motivates me to get out there and train even if I don’t want to.
Last year’s marathon destroyed me. I cried at the finish line.
But I was also in a terrible space emotionally. I had struggled to get myself to train. And it was before I had started seeing my therapist and psychiatrist.
So I’m going to do it again this year, and do it even better. I’m aiming to train 4 times a week, and include the details of the training at the end of the blog.
The route this year is also much better, so I’m excited to run it 🙂
My Goal
My time last year was a decent 4hrs 55min.
But this year I want to do it in under 4hr 30min
And I know I’ll do it.
74 days to go… Let the countdown begin
