Same race, same photographers, nearly identical pose and same rara skirt. What a difference 12 months and 12lb makes
•
12lb isn’t a huge amount, my total weight loss is 3 stone 8, but it is when you’re a short ass!
•
I remember seeing my race photos from last year and I was absolutely mortified. I went straight back to Slimming World. Well for a few weeks. Every time I suspected I’d gained I wouldn’t weigh in that week. And that week could turn into months. Thank goodness my daughter joined as she won’t let me skip weigh in ☺️

I’m not where I want to be yet but I’m not where I used to be

to all of you who are heading out there tomorrow for the #londonmarathon2019 ; go and enjoy it!
.
I’m fairly sure I bore people with stories about the marathon however it was one of the most amazing life experiences I’ve ever had and a huge achievement for me at the age of 18, especially having been told when I signed up that people “weren’t sure I’d finish”!
.
I remember being delirious at one point; pretty sure it was down to low sugar and electrolyte levels; I took on one gel all race, but my parents told me they’d meet me at mile 18 after the isle of dogs. I got to where I thought they said they were and couldn’t see them - 5 minutes later I found them and I didn’t think I’d be able to finish, I was so drained and the heat didn’t help. They told me to keep going and they’d see me at the end and I could do it - I had a cry and then went on my way, I crossed the finish hours later as I was getting pretty ill, and can just remember that euphoria of realising I was done - I couldn’t stop crying!
.
I had some lovely runners who came and hugged me and that showed me a part of the running community that I’m so proud to be part of today.
.
I would absolutely LOVE to be doing the marathon tomorrow, and have this weird FOMO feeling because I’m not there... if you are running tomorrow - just go out there and enjoy it! Take the high 5’s and sweets the public offer, soak up the atmosphere; even get chatting with other runners, it makes all the difference.
.
Tomorrow is the last 26.2 miles of many many miles previous - good luck, and make it count.

A year today I did my first ever marathon in 5:43. In October I got a new pb of 5:13 and yesterday I did marathon number 7 and got a new shiny pb of 5:03. I seem to like the 3s lol. I hope to get a sub 5 eventually, although I think 4:53 would be pushing it
My feet and legs hurt so so much today but no amount of pain can take away this high I have. Although that may change after I attempt to get down my stairs

#transformationtuesday picture on the left, where I have lots of bags of crisps on my knee, was taken in 2012. Pic on the right a few weeks ago at the end of #thunderrun2018 I’m always going to struggle with my weight and I’ve lost the plot the last 10 days after I was given the best ever chocolate cake on a nightshift ♀️ I’ve been yoyoing since. I know I’ve put a few lb on but I’m not going to get hung up on it. I have a girly day with my daughter today which involves going to decathlon and Ikea, yes you did read that right and a bubble tea and something to eat. And a friend is coming over tonight which means wine I’m back to work Thursday night so will be back on it again then. I don’t ever want to be big like that first pic again, but life is far too short ☺️

Loch Ness marathon yesterday and a load of new pbs including 10 mile, half marathon and full marathon. I desperately wanted a sub 5 and up until about mile 15 I was on track for it but due to being a div and starting off far too fast for me I missed it by 14 seconds. I gave it everything I could but sub 5 has eluded me once again. So I’m going to start training because once I get sub 5 I can retire from marathons before I think working towards a sub 4.45 is a good idea We got a pb Dad ❤️
