Yesterday was all about this brilliant woman! Photo by Kiera |
Two days before the biggest running event in the UK, I was offered the chance to run. I'd not trained, I'd never run a marathon before...but everyone I spoke to was so sure I could and should run it. With only a few hours to decide, I had to go for the old fashioned pros and cons list...
Congratulations if you did run the marathon, you are amazing!
I think it was a wise decision not to, looking at your list. Plus, spectating is ace!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE cheering everyone on, it's so emotional. And it was amazing to see Paula Radcliffe whizz past with the biggest smile on her face – definitely the right decision.
DeleteOMG, what a dilemma! I would have died trying to decide! :|
ReplyDeleteIt took me an entire day to decide. I think I definitely made the right decision, though.
DeleteDefinitely the right decision from that list of cons, when you *do* do it, you need to be 100% prepared and ready, and go out there and enjoy it. How come you got offered a place to run?
ReplyDeleteAs soon as the runners came through my cheering spot, I knew I'd made the right decision. Next year I'll be more prepared, you know...just in case...! I was working at the expo, you meet people.
DeleteI was wondering if you had done it, after you mentioned it on Friday evening. I think you made the right decision :-)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely the right decision! I had way more fun cheering than I would have done running.
DeleteWatching it was awesome, especially cheering on Paula. I would definitely have run it, having failed in the ballot at least four times!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! Fingers crossed, next year is your year!
DeleteWow what an amazing opportunity, but sounds like a sensible decision to have made. Fingers crossed for you for next year.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Emma. Next year, I'll be ready. Fingers crossed, I get a spot.
