Auckland half marathon was a few weekends ago and once again I headed along to cheer all the whilse secretly wishing I was one of the ones being cheered on. Knees, knees, knees. You are not my friends. I also got challenged to run it next year. This may have been the persons post run beer talking, but I've been seriously considering it. Is it worth just training, doing it, perhaps thrashing myself and then just spend the rest of my life recovering? Are my knees just an old excuse keeping me in my safe non challenging bubble?
So what did I do post conversation? Rung my Mum. Who helpfully said "Oh i want to do the Buller half in Feb" and I found myself considering the timing and thinking, yeah I could do it. One book on how to run half marathons and a sparklying new pair of running shoes later I think I may have started training. The book talks about a really gentle easy approach which I think looks really doable. I dug out my old physio exercises which I'm going to try implementing into everyday life again and we'll see how this goes! So the majority of future blog posts may contain a lot of content about running.
