I am an emotional runner, a quiet figther, a rebellious lover, a confident insecure, a passionate introvert, a chatty shy person, a realistic optimist, a moody happy spirit...
"Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself, I am large, I contain multitudes." (Walt Whitman) --------- my running life from beginning to today  30 SEPTEMBER 2009 very new to the whole concept of running for fun! never been an athlete, never done any sports nor been good at any... always the last to be picked and the first to be dropped! but I really want to get fit (I'm 3 stone overweight and middle-age spread is lurking!) and have had the great fortune and priviledge to meet a fantastic Coach... he's teaching me how to think, how to run, how to enjoy it. I asked him to take me from 0 to 5miles in 6 weeks.... he did it in 13 days!!! he is amazing! made me really believed I can do it! onwards and upwards UPDATE 30 NOVEMBER 2009 - I've been running on and off for a couple of months now, really enjoy it, lost quite a bit of weight, gained confidence, bettered my endurance and my times... I am still a rebel - and Coach doesnt really appreciate this! :-D - but am getting better at listening and following the plan... the only way is up!! :-)) UPDATE - 24 APRIL 2010 I have lost 2 stone, I am now a size 8 (from a 12/14), I am the lightest I have been in 15 years, I just broke the sub30minutes 5k. I am still a rebel, but this was the last day of it. 25 April is the beginning of a new life - il giorno della liberazione dell'Italia, il giorno della rinascita! UPDATE - 10 MAY 2010 another great PB!! got a sub 29' on 5k managed really good steady runs for 1h in 35' heat top girl!! :D onwards, upwards, faster, better UPDATE AUGUST 2010 improvements are slow but they are improving finally got a new 5K PB 28:36 and joined a running club, the Pudsey Pacers! happy with the work I will be doing, bigger, greater, harder things ahead UPDATE NOVEMBER 2010 nice season of PBs best ever 5k in sub 27min almost achieved target 10K with 55.46 weight fluctuating a bit but in general stays off and I am still eating like a mad person (granted it is mostly veggies tho!) - I am a Next size 6 tho LOL that made my day! and a 27 size jeans!! and CK dresses are huge on me in a US size 4! - funny thing being normal LOL UPDATE 24 JANUARY 2011 first ever half marathon race - tick done! hard work but I did it! 16min faster than in training! onto mara training now! increasing training to 6times a week, upping to 40/50miles week and loosing a stone should do the trick! now then, last cream cake and slouching on the couch tonight then |
