I am back to running again. Up to half an hour now. I have bounced back much easier this time than with the first child. It feels wonderful to run again, even if I cannot go on those long runs when I would lose myself in thought and music. It feels good to move freely and connect with my body again. I’m aiming to do a five K soon and a ten K after that. And another marathon sometime.
Reading this review of the Reggae Marathon makes me nostalgic for those long runs and for how proud I was of finishing my first marathon. And to do it On such a mentally challenging course in a country I love.
Thanks for sharing this! I watched my mother run the 1/2 marathon one year and swore I would never be a runner haha. But these days I find myself wondering if I could really actually do it. It certainly is the happiest marathon.
You can definitely do it, one step at a time. I started just walking, many years ago…
Take the 1/2 run for now and enjoy! Always make time for yourself; it is a gift to you!
Knowing you and your sense of discipline that marathon will happen when it is meant to happen. Maybe even with baby in tow – 👟
aw thanks! that would be a challenging way to do it…
