The next chapter begins. šŸƒšŸæā€ā™‚ļø

17km āœ”ļø

My last marathon didnā€™t end with the time I was chasing.

It ended in 3:28.

Of course I wanted moreā€”but every race teaches you something if youā€™re willing to learn.

Recovery is done.
The lessons have been taken on board.
Now itā€™s time to build again.

This 17km run wasnā€™t about proving anything.

It was about showing up.

Because every new goal starts with the first step.

The journey continues, and Iā€™m more motivated than ever to see whatā€™s possible.

Whoā€™s chasing a new goal after a setback or a PB? šŸ‘‡

Update video rant coming soon, but we are getting closer to the goal, Marathon #2 done, the real training begins now, 28 min to shave off the time. Gold Coast Marathon was awesome, I couldnā€™t get in second gear but the good news is that the engine was still raving at 30-42kms. Massive cramps to a stop to the desired outcome but the future looks bright. A few more days rest and we will be back even stronger šŸ¤›šŸ’Ŗ

Running can bring such joy in sometimes what can be a busy life, am excited to be lining up on the Gold Coast Marathon next weekend, after a hard block of training, self employed plus 3 kids under 6 years can be challenging but when I put on those shoes, itā€™s game on. Letā€™s gošŸ’Ŗ. The journey to a sub 3 is just getting started šŸ¤˜šŸ™Œ
