So back in May this year, Iain said there were some cheap deals going to Sydney in September, the same time the marathon was on he asked if I wanted to do it and I said why not!!
So dusted off my trainers and started running again, with no.3 son at 7 months old. As I was still breastfeeding I had to make sure I fed him first before I went running!!
The training was hard work as I depended on Iain to look after the boys so I could do and that meant after work and weekends. As it was over winter by the time he got home it was dark (and cold) so I easily talked myself out of it! Then with weekends there was always something up! However, got there in the end even though I didn't manage to do any programme I did as much as time would allow me and built up to a 32k run a month before the marathon.
When we got to Sydney I was enjoying myself at my brothers place with him three kids (yip a busy noisy house with us in it too!)
So got to the start early as my brother was doing the half marathon which started at 6am and I started at 7am! Gave baby no.3 a feed in the car to get some weight off me (haha!)!!!!
Off I ran I could go on about it but I went way faster than I expected! Finished it in 4 hours and 4 minutes!
