#AWESOMENESS 👉 @poppycross. Post #ASICSLDN10k yesterday, HAT and sweaty with all of the feels and endorphins pumping through my veins. Racing always makes me feel so alive. It’s a test and it hurts yet even this I’ve learnt to love because it means I’m using my body for it’s rightful purpose - to propel me forwards in everything I do mentally and physically. I went into the start pen yesterday feeling super chilled. I was there to enjoy the ride not push to my limits. I’m wanting to gradually build atm and save my legs for trails and all kinds of cool adventures later in the year. It was a surprise to see my watch show my pace when I did choose to look at it. Speedier than I’d have thought and with a comfortable effort which was above a cruise but not full throttle. I felt strong, stayed in the moment and enjoyed the crowds, confetti and cheers as I ran. I ran in a sea of bibs supporting different causes campaigning against male suicide, supporting cancer research and Alzheimer’s, the list goes on. There is always so much love present in races and it’s sobering to see and be part of it. As I ran I felt like a dolphin zipping along in a pod- wild and free. Yes, that was the image that played in my mind on and off throughout the race! 💙 Having running and adventure in my life makes it so much more vibrant. It heightens my senses and sharpens my perspective and I’m beyond grateful to be able to do it. #marathon #runhappy #runnershigh #irunthisbody #runner #correpe https://www.instagram.com/p/B0PoUSGHP3N/?igshid=2kxdyhae10qo
