ground zero - starting over

28th May 2023 - I have drawn a line in the sand and decided that I need to take control of my body and my mind. I have always been a person who needs a goal and by writing this blog I am making myself accountable for getting to that goal- Ironman Mallorca 70.3 - 2025.

As I write this, I have had the most horrendous, hot and slow run…I can’t help but compare the current me, to the one that fronts the home page of my website and the shape she was in. At the moment although they are the same person, she feels like a complete stranger, one who I really hope I will meet again at the end of this Journey - maybe not so much in mind, but in body. I am excited for the feeling of going for a run and it not feeling like the whole way is a battle to stop and walk - my face will always be red like a tomato, but this is something I have come to terms with now. My mum always reminds me of a saying … ‘If you think you are looking sharp, it’s probably because you haven’t done very much’. Onwards and upwards, after all….‘Anything is Possible’
