A little over a year ago I started my 12WBT journey. I didn't know the girls in the Perth Crew, I was afraid to go to events by myself because I didn't want to put myself out there. I ran in a few short fun runs (less than 5km) and just tinkered away at my weight loss.
I look at my life now and it is so full. I have an amazing group of friends within the Perth Crew who this weekend have really shown how amazingly supportive and caring they are when someone is struggling. I am so thankful for the way people have stood up for me and are willing to go into battle for me. The past few days have been so hard, but I have been surrounded by people who I can count on.
Friday morning I met up with Karin and Petina for an early morning workout. Karin and I did three laps of Jacob's ladder while waiting for Petina to run over from work and then we headed out for a run through Kings Park. 5km later we were back at Mount St for a couple of rounds up the nasty hill. It was a great workout and sitting having breakfast (and coffee of course) with Karin was great. It isn't often I get to do morning workouts with the girls but I had an appointment near the city so rather than sit in peak hour traffic I decided to make the most of my time.
Saturday I spent most of my day wallowing in self-pity. Now I had cause, and resting my body was probably a good idea. I did have a long list of things to do, of which I achieved nothing! I did manage to get myself down to the North of the River Perth Crew Workout in Mawson's Park which was great! It was so good to see so many newbies coming to workout and putting themselves out there. I remember how hard that was and I'm glad that we have such a supportive group for people to come along to.
So, today I went to Craig Harper's 'Life is not a Seminar' Seminar, which was fantastic! For me, it was reaffirming a few things that I have been thinking about as well as giving me a bit of a kick up the butt to get on with it! What better timing as well, seeing as tomorrow is the first day of my half marathon training with The Running Centre. Four running sessions a week that are NON-NEGOTIABLE. I have put my money into investing in my training for this event, in preparation for my bigger goal of my marathon through DisneyWorld in January.
So, what is going to keep me going? Well, a little late I have put together my Inspiration board and here it is!
There is so much more that I could say right now, but I am going to give it a few days to settle. To my girls (you know who you are) thank you so much for your support, love and craziness! I love you all xxoo
