Shattered!

That's how I'm feeling today! This morning I did my 2 hour and thirty minute jog and have felt shattered ever since!!!!

I've been lacking a bit of energy this week, I think I might have picked up a bug from some dodgy water we drank while bushwalking.

So after having severe DOMS at the start of the week I've had to cram a lot of training into the latter part of the week due to not being able to walk on Monday or Tuesday!

I've still got one running session left to do tomorrow so I'm just hoping I pull up ok. Then I'm flying out for 10 days, I'll be in Cairns for a few days (Liss, if you're reading this would love to catch up for a walkntalk!) and then I've got a 5 day trip all over the countryside! I'm just getting myself all packed and have made sure I can fit in all of my running sessions while I'm away!

I've got a 3km time trial to do so I've packed my little GPS so I can mark a route out wherever I am.

Today was the first day that i really started to doubt myself and wonder how the hell I am seriously going to do this Marathon? Anyway I'm not thinking to much about the end goal but just doing what needs to be done in the meantime and hoping it all falls into place.

The exciting thing is that I managed to get the time off over the Adelaide Half Marathon, so I'll be heading down at the end of August to do it. It will be my first ever race and I'm really excited about it. Plus the fact that I'm organsing a girly night afterwards and will get to see all my family and friends in Adealaide.

Anyway time to get off the computer, I better spend some time with my gorgeous hubby before I fly out.

Cheers, Hilds

Hey Hilde!
For some reason I'm not getting your blog updates in reader :( I thought you must have been quiet so checked it via the website and wowsers, I've just sat here for a half hour catching up!! LoL!
You go girl with that marathon training - you're on FIRE!!!
You've been so busy, but still keeping adventurous - you may as well keep training and do the 28km Great Whitsunday Walk run in September (you've done half of it anyway!!) ;).
Talk to you soon!

A tip from a regular bush walker (tramper/ hiker)... ALWAYS BOIL THE WATER FOR THREE MINUTES..... believe me I have some stories to share from the Heaphey Track to the Milford Sounds... so much of the clean and green New Zealand - and all the Australian possums.....
