if you can dream it you can achieve it

it is agust 28 2011 and i have just completed my first half marathon

i feel exhausted but estatic i am crying tears of joy relief and happiness plus i am lying on the ground and i am never moving nor running again - at least for another week.

the time does not matter but i think it took me three hours and 50 minutes not quick but hey i finished have any of you completed a half marathon.

the journey to get here was hard but i worked hard when i started training 15 weeks ago was rehabing from a calf injury and a 3 k run was a big run i also have lost another 10 kg and am sitting on very svelte 62 kg. the biggest challange i faced getting to this point was holding my self back i wanted to achive it all in one day but i learnt quickly that one day at a time was the way to go.

oh i and i also placed in the seconed place in the michell bridges 12 wwk body transformation, but had to run today so was unable to make the party weekend for me the last twelve weeks has been about challangeing my self and giving back to ohter who supported me over the years

oh you want to know what i am wearing, well at the moment i am sitting hear with my feet in a ice bucket but for my half marathon i wore a blue pair of nike frees and my trusty black target pants and red singlet also from target they are the only clothes that seem to suit my body shape the best plus they are in expensive... more money to spen on running shoes

would i have changed any thing that got me to this position - not a thing the tears and frustration and the gastro bug i got to get here where all worth while i wish to thank everyone on twitter and face book who got me here and a special thanks to the adelaide girls- they now who they are and to my personal trainer dave who taught me how to run and never let me forget that i was an athelte. and most of all my self i dared to dream and i lived that dream


thankyou
