CASTLE HILL

Well I managed to drag myself out of my hotel room this arvo and up Castle Hill and it was lovely.

These early starts this week are really messing with my motivation and I seriously struggled yesterday. So today I thought I'd better get off my lazy butt and do something active.

It has been another 3am start and today I've ended up in Townsville. After being in Melbourne yesterday and struggling to get off my bed (didn't do any training yesterday) I thought I'd better make something happen today. Again I really didn't feel like doing anything and I didn't want to be inside, so instead I headed up Townsville's Castle Hill and even finished it off with a walk down the Strand. I'm still amazed at how much better I feel after getting out and about, although two hours later and I'm feeling very tired again.

Tomorrow is another early start and then I finally get to switch over to afternoons and get up at a respectable time.

Anyway I've been thinking (well someone has been trying to convince me, hi Nettie!) to do another marathon! It's actually the Townsville marathon later this year, so my walk down the Strand this arvo was to see if I would suddenly get motivated and commit! I'm still not 100% sure whether I'm excited enough but I'm going to start my running training again and see how I feel. I think I like just having a goal to work towards and a bit more structure to my training.

Anyway enough rambling from me, I'm sure I'm not making much sense as I'm way too tired.

Hope everyone is having a great week.

Cheers, Hilds

Hi Hilds!
That's fantastic, it must have been so hard to get going! I envy you - I love walking along the Strand - one of the main things I miss about Townsville!
As for the marathon - go for it! I understand what you mean, and have now planned my year around 3 events spaced over the year evenly to help keep me on track for good! It's great to see the results of working out consistently!

Hi Sarah, yes it is nice getting outside and finding some great places to train. This morning I managed to run along South Bank in Brissie and it was just lovely (still really hard to get my butt out of the hotel room but I did it). Great to hear you've set yourself some big goals, I know your super keen and I know you'll do it (amazing what a bit of hard work and determintation will do!).

And yes Nettie, I'm seriously considering the marathon. Even went for a run along South Bank this morning and pushed myself a bit harder (actually enjoyed it). I'm already thinking up some nasty training sessions as part of the martahon training plan, I hope you're ready!
