🏆GRATEFUL🏆

Running a sub 2h30 marathon on a challenging course in crazy, windy conditions was challenging!

The process to get my mind & body ready to run on this course (hilly upfront) in those conditions (ex-tropical cyclone Lola on her way) was a lot of hard work.

I ran nearly 30kms solo, staying in my mental bubble knowing that this was my 3rd attempt at a sub 2h30 Auckland marathon. Now, I respect those who have run sub 2h30 marathons before but the Akl mara course is brutal. 17kms hilly upfront to beat up the legs, quiet roads out towards St. Heliers & the wind can do anything on the day.

The 1st pic is a symbol I drew on my arm 🤜🤛 and I would do the sign to remind myself of that brave moment from Springboks & Damian Willemse to call a scrum in the 22 against France. I told myself that I would need to be brave and back myself and my body when the going got tough.

What a day! What an experience!

Can't wait for next race on 16 Dec but for now, a little R&R is the order of the day.

I am still learning and growing. If I can do it, so can you!

Running has the remarkable power to transform every aspect of your life, transcending mere physical exercise to become an extraordinary catalyst for holistic well-being. With each stride, your body grows stronger, building endurance and unleashing a vitality that spills over into your everyday existence. But the transformative power of running extends far beyond the physical realm.

As your feet pound the pavement, a profound mental clarity emerges, allowing stress to dissipate and worries to fade away. Your mind becomes a sanctuary, filled with clarity and focus, as running grants you the space to unravel your thoughts and discover new perspectives.

More than that, running cultivates a resilient mindset, one that carries you through the toughest of challenges on the road and in life. The kilometers you conquer become a metaphor for perseverance, teaching you to push through obstacles, embrace discomfort, and realize the extraordinary potential that resides within. With each run, you find yourself embracing a life-changing paradigm shift—a testament to the incredible power of running to elevate your physical, mental, and mindset to astonishing heights.
