Me and my running replacement. Something you mig Me and my running replacement. 

Something you might not know about crochet is how time consuming it is. Like this is probably 50 hours of work. And you could just go out and buy a blanket for less than the cost of the yarn. Which is why commissioned pieces are tough because no matter what you are selling it for less than it’s worth. But if you give it away, it retains all its worth. 

Anyway, running is the same. The value to you isn’t in the time in the clock - it’s in everything else
After a few interruptions, #friyay run club is bac After a few interruptions, #friyay run club is back! And a good reason for me to finally bite the bullet and go for a jog. 

Sometimes when you’ve had a break you start to be afraid to start again and you just have to start somewhere. 

Did it feel like running with a gorilla on my chest? Yes. But it was still lovely to go for a run with great company.

You don’t live on race results, you live on your You don’t live on race results, you live on your easy run, so make it a good one.
Coming back after a bit of a break is always a bit Coming back after a bit of a break is always a bit of an intuitive process and it’s normal to feel a bit like garbage, and the process is generally not linear. But being out in the sunshine helps 🙌

Why run a marathon at the Gold Coast when you can Why run a marathon at the Gold Coast when you can run it a week later on your own as an unsupported run 🤣

Seriously though, this was not my plan. The plan was to run on the Gold Coast with all the atmosphere and people. Because all the things that make the marathon great happen in organised events - the people, the music, fellow runners, aid stations. When you do a run this long on your own you take away all the things that make it that little bit easier. 

But, I just wanted to close this chapter if I could. And hit struggle town around 26km-30km with just being on my own and made a deal with myself to just walk/jog it in at that point and be happy to finish. 

It’s funny that solo runs are called unsupported because they aren’t really. They are supported in a big way by family, by my amazing #opmovesisterhood community and my incredible @crossfitballina community as well. When I’m out there, I am supported in every way possible. 

I’m so proud of this one. It might have been one of my toughest marathons but one of the ones I was happiest with too.

Also pondering if I do want to run the virtual marathon. Tomorrow is the last day to do it. Tick tock.
Real talk: going to the Gold Coast was really hard Real talk: going to the Gold Coast was really hard. I had to hold my deep disappointment in a way that honoured it but also not in a way that it was allowed to breathe. Because I wanted to be there. You don’t get to see people you coach on training runs (or not all of them at least), but you do get to see them at the finish line. And I’m not looking at the clock - I’m looking at their face. No matter what kind of curve balls the day throws I’m hoping for happiness and pride. Because it’s not about the distance or the time it’s how you feel about it. 

Anyway, I did struggle but I was happy with how I felt about it. And then I bought this glass ornament to remind me that beauty doesn’t need a purpose. And neither does a training block. You can just be happy with how it feels. And witnessing other people’s joy and achievement is more important than anything I might hold onto for myself.

At a certain point you’ve just got to get out th At a certain point you’ve just got to get out there and don’t out on a scale how fucked you are. Some injuries are simple and some are complex and I’m just trying to avoid 2017 level complexity. I don’t recommend learning how to walk again. Zero stars. 

Run was great but the clincher is how it feels in a few hours or tomorrow

Turns out staring at a non-compliant foot in quiet Turns out staring at a non-compliant foot in quiet judgement doesn’t make it heal faster. 

Had a tendon issue pop out almost out of nowhere on Monday, and figured if I just rested up and did all the things I would be good for Sunday. 

Turns out wearing crappy shoes while carrying a 40kg kid who was having a sensory issue with crowds at the lantern parade will just tip your foot stabilisers right over the edge. Injuries are almost always stupid shit unrelated to running. 

Anyway, it’s a bit shit and I’m sure at like any moment I will find the capacity to drag myself out of my pity party. 

You get to keep the training, you just don’t get to go to the dance.
That feeling when all the long runs are in the ban That feeling when all the long runs are in the bank and marathon training becomes an eating competition.
