Last month, I won the Social Champion of the Year award at the Mental Health Blog Awards. But the truth is, I feel far from a champion.
26.2 miles, 42.195km, 50,000+ steps, 4,689 laps around your sofa or 46,112 yards. However you measure it the marathon distance is one of the toughest and most rewarding things you can put your body through. Ever since my first at the London Marathon back in 2016 I have been well and truly addicted to the highs and lows that sort of distance takes you on.
Sometimes in life you have to take that leap of faith. A metaphorical stumble into the unknown, blindingly hoping. As I stood on the edge of a bridge in New Zealand about to take a literal leap, with nothing but bungee rope to stop me from plunging to my death, I couldn’t help but think about when leap of faiths have done wrong. A few days before at the Queenstown Marathon I had jumped only to fall, a mistake entirely of my own making but I’m getting ahead of myself.
I was once told, when I was living in India, that the key to life is when you are forced to take a step back it is only so you can appeciate how far you have already come. The day after Cheltenham Half Marathon I was forced, unwillingly, to try and apprecaite how far I have come. 49 minutes to be exact.
This week and beyond I will be posting belated posts and photographs from my recent trip to San Francisco. Safe to say it was one hell of a trip for both my running and photography sides! Below is one of the plethora of images I took of the awe inspiring Golden Gate Bridge veiled in fog.
No Plan, Increasing Heat, Little Sleep and the small matter of the Copenhagen Marathon to run.
Sorry for the lack of postings, not reading your blogs and well just not being around the blogosphere much. I have no excuse other than I’ve been in Paris! Will be posting again soon but for now enjoy the reason […]
