Being a part of the very lovely not to mention super inspirational Gina Littles 500th marathon celebrations made the mental struggle to complete todays Kent Coastal Marathon in 5:18 (and deferring my GNR place) all the more worth while. After setting off relatively strong I stopped for a loo break at mile 3 and just could not find my rhythm for the rest of the race. A little too warm during the first half for my liking but not even running along the beautiful coast could lift my spirits enough to shake off the I cant do this demons that were messing with my head. Seeing all the usual suspects along the route truly kept me smiling and pushing on, giving in to walking breaks even though I didnt feel physically tired. If I hadnt seen Stuart at mile 22.5 who gave me a much needed hug, I think Id still be out there now! Thank you. xxx Well done everyone, especially Gina, not forgetting Julie who ran her 300th today too. So so lovely to finish, regroup and catch up with positive talk of whats next? ;-) Wolverhampton, Great North Run, Great Barrow Challenge, Maidenhead Half, Surrey Relays and Stragglers River Relay. Probably missed some - I salute you all. Love xxx
