After running a marathon last Sunday I felt lost and to be honest I didn't know what to do with myself. After a conversation with @slobberchops, I told him I'm not going to run anymore,... I can't be bothered.
'And what are you going to do', he replied.
Well, I said I'm going to do a pilgrimage for a month in Spain. He answered.., you're not young anymore. Blimey! You won't have a wife for a month or I might not come back at all. He just rolled his eyes.. what a supporting husband he is!!
When Shaun picked me up I also said to him what I said to @slobberchops. His reply was different 'Your head needs a wobble' .
'I don't feel like running today', I said, 'maybe I'll just watch'.
He replied, 'it's up to you but I paid for it'
'I'll run.. I won't be competing'
Running, running, running when the rain is hard. I don't know why I started so far back but I just didn't feel like doing it.
The last mile was like a never-ending mile. Just half a mile to go and I got STITCH seriously . The girl running beside me named 'Melissa' said 'just keep going nearly there!!' I saw the finishing mat and I heard Shaun shout... FASTER.
I finished, and it was a relief to see familiar faces. Despite the bad time of 37 minutes (5 miles) I'm still happy and can't complain. We didn't want to hang around after because I was starving and wet. We went back after getting our jackets to get coffee.
Standing drinking coffee while watching all the winners collect their trophies I heard my name called …oh... I won 1st place for my V45 category. How embarrassing that was I didn't know what to do.
...'open the damn box!, it's inside'...
The Clayton and Trawden guys won't let me forget that I thought I only got a plain black box but I have to open it to reveal the trophy. Well, I didn't know... never won a thing before!
I’m a very simple person who loves eating and yes I do love nice things but I’m pretty happy with little things like my trainers.
I can’t thank Shaun enough for everything. Very grateful for all the help and advice I received.
Haha oké the determination came kicking in and your motivation dude is a good one even though it isnt chops himself. Please dont do the pelgrimage, it sounds way too harsh.
But you can be proud of this one though!
Some times surprise wins are good to get you back to where you belong that is running.
Keep enjoying the rewards od all the hard work.
Good luck for the next run.
Congratulations!! Where can I get a Shaun? Methinks you got this one covered!
