GETTING MOTIVATED
Jan0920084:37 p.m.
Okay so it is one of the things I have wanted for years and yes it is gonna be tough. once I start training there will be no turning back and when I have advertised my charities etc I shall certainly be not be able to back out :-)
THANK YOU to everyone who had replied to my first blog, I hadn't realised just how quickly people were willing to encourage a complete novice (well to the Marathon, anyhow)
I will be signing up with my gym as of next week, this is hoping I get all of my clothes ready for then, god it is hard at times being a home mum and doing every day things and then needing to find time to actually do this also. Being single helps as I don'thave the distraction of a partner, however I DO NEED a running partner? If only to belittle me when i cock up and stuff :-)
I like to think I motivate others but am really bad at motivating myself really so having someone else to support me and me them would be beneficial if I'm to see this things through, plus it helsp alleviate the boredom of running out on the roads on your own.
So if ANYONE is in the ELY /CAMBRIDGE area (thats Cambridgeshire, not Wales and would like a very energetically enthused running partner could you PLEASE get in touch, obviously hot young males would be top priotity hehe but seriously male or female, as long as we can get along that would be fantastic. :-)
I look forward to hearing from you.

a_bet_made_me 'I'd have to fly / get the ferry so can't help either - we can of course support you here in blog world which can be fun!!! I will say that, there was a blogger here who did have a training partner but their paces didn't match - certainly join the local gym, some have running groups attached, ask if they do and if not why not to the manager!?! if they don't ask about a training buddy scheme where you and a fellow gym member can train at times that suit you both.. this works well in the gym I'm in. Also, I'm sure there are running clubs in your area, which may also be of great help to find somebody who has a similar pace as you...' added 10th Jan 2008
