28th May – 3rd June 2018
It’s now less than a week until I go to Kenya and I have to say I am not prepared at all.
Last week, I feel, was probably my most important week. It should have been a time when I am training hard and putting in the miles. However I did nothing – no training at all. It was because I was so busy.
Everyday this week I have been traveling to different parts of the country. I live in the middle of England and my travels this week have taken me to a few coastal towns and a few towns in the opposite direction. It has meant that I have been traveling in the car for about 20 hours this week
It has left me slightly disoriented – I don’t know whether I am coming or going. I feel like I am being pulled every which way. I don’t even know what day it is anymore.
It has meant I haven’t had time to think about my diet either. I feel I have done ok, the second half of the week being better than the first. The worst thing is the lack of exercise.
I feel that the week off the exercise has set me back months. This half marathon is now only around the corner and I feel like I have lost all the ability to succeed.
I have a run scheduled soon so I am hoping that will make me feel better about things but I still have a lot to do with only a few days to do it in. I am just hoping I don’t turn up at the airport tired before I even start.
You can do this Debbie. You are a constant source of encouragement and inspiration to many. I believe in you, I believe in your strength and commitment to this challenge and I look forward to hearing you enjoyed every moment with your friends from last year. Half term is disorientating for everyone, but it took longer than 7 days to reach this point and it takes longer than 7 days to undo it all. Best foot forward beautiful.
Your willingness to do this is a far cry of those who do nothing. Be blessed in your training lovely xxx
