3rd October marks the first time that I ran the SBS half marathon with my dear other half. It was hard going at the end of the second half, and I was walking slowly at that stage. We did well, with a time like 3 hr 48 minutes and 12 seconds and almost no training at all, my hubby said that I am definitely a runner. My intention is to prove to myself that I can do it, and it is an achievement in itself.
My legs hurt at the moment, but that's not all the surprising. Every bit of movement is a struggle, and I wonder why I put myself through the hard yards sometimes. Looking back at my life, I've never done anything physically impossible or amazing. I was never any good at PE, but I like walking around the streets and roads around my house. It is relaxing and a good way to be healthier. It is certainly a cost effective way to exercise, and you can do it at any age with any fitness level. I'd like to think that from now on, I can train to be fitter. I'd also like to continue my exercise regime for the long term because I always seems to slack off after a while.
The weather is going to be nice for the next few days. Vegetables are going into the ground for the summer/autumn harvest now. I am looking forward to a good season and this is also the first time that I can put vegetables into my own back yard garden! Isn't that something to cheer about?
