A very wise person said to me, 'Write down all of the events you've completed and look at what you have achieved."
Well, I've done that. The events are achievements in themselves, but the training behind the events is what really takes the time and the committment.
I had a few spare minutes, put pencil to paper and did some research. This is the mammoth amount of events completed in 2014. Not too shabby an effort, for someone who 18 months ago had to go and practise a 4km route to ensure she could run her first event.

Bring on 2015 - the year of two half marathons.
That is a great exercise! Just looks incredible. What you have achieved is nothing short of amazing and as you so aptly put it, it represents hours of training, self talk and just plain hard work, but the sense of achievement must be overwhelming. You say 2015 is going to be your year, but I say 2014 has been just brilliant. Don't be too keen to kiss it goodbye, put like this, it has actually been very good to you :)
ReplyDeleteWell done Sue.
Loved looking through your year of runs, I started a spreadsheet last year, helping me to keep track of things. Makes me proud just looking back. Great idea.
