No time to really write this blog as often as I wish - so events like the Lieden Half marathon a few weeks ago don't get mentioned although my time of 1:42 was pretty good considering I was only there for the fun and not trying sooo. In fact I was secretly delighted.
However the training it must be said is now getting me down. I have lost my mo--jo. Frankly I am not sure I can carry on with the 11-14 hours a week I need to in order to get the start line in IM Regensburg even though it is only 10 weeks away.
Anyone who knows me well is aware that I did the first IM for a reason - I had a great deal of frustration in me, it was 100% theraputic (I have been on BBC radio discussing this a few of times) and the finish line of IM Switzerland was actually the beginning of my new life - away from the rubbish that someone threw at me. A way of kick starting my life at 46 and a way of making new, exciting friends who I could trust, who supported me and frankly who cared for me.
And it worked - I have that now and as well as two lovely daughters who are so beautiful, supportive and loving and as well I have a special person who means a great deal to me.
So why am I pushing myself so hard is a question that I am now asking. I don't need to do it. Possibly something to do with the tough sportive yesterday making me rethink (those bloody hills!). I am not sure. But why not just do a few Oly distances or 70.3's? or even just stick to maras/sportives etc.....isn't one IM enough?
So a weekend away from sport - and a decision to be made - IM or no IM (well, IM or 70.3)
