5/10 – Feel that I am lacking any inspiration to write. Bike and swim session done and now contemplating what to do today. Not sure if I am just tired, fed up, or both?

Thanks coach Olly for that one! Picture is of him from 2 years ago today and is exactly how I am feeling now.

Not every run goes to plan, and today’s didn’t. I was lacking motivation this morning and could have easily bailed it. Felt tired and started to struggle at about 16 miles. Wanted out and my mind started to drift off. Thankfully at about mile 19 I sorted myself out as I stopped at a shop to fill up my water pack.
***
The plan was for a 3hr 50 run which I did covering 22 miles. That’s the last of the long ones now in preparation for the ultra (unless coach Olly tells me different).

Lovely to see my buddy @mccarthyhelen75 Working hard along my route. No one better to give you motivation 💚💜

Currently working my way through 6 packs of monster munch. True athlete.

No matter how hard it was, how hard it is or how hard it will be, I am going to make it. The Ironman mindset can never be underestimated.

Chucking out some positive vibes on this Tuesday evening.

Tomorrow starts with a long run. Who is with me?

Never have I needed to find some mental toughness from somewhere (well not since IMW) during the last 10 miles.

Picture 2 shows me and @sian.richards.77 after I dropped her off at 8.5 miles. My smile quickly faded as I faced the worst head wind and weather I have ever run in. Worse still I was battling hip and knee pain from mile 11. All I wanted to do was call an Uber! ***
Picture 1 shows me drenched and relieved to be home. Another few hours counted for time on feet.
