So a while ago, in the heat of a post-run “I can do anything” high, I signed up for the Two Oceans Marathon.
If you don’t know me well: I started running in 2013 because it was the only sport I could do that didn’t require a huge financial investment.
It kind of grew on me a little. This past year was a good year for running. A while ago I just kept running and accidentally did a 21 km (half-marathon).
Anyway. The Two Oceans Marathon is an ultra at 56 km. It is on 26 March 2016.
I haven’t even run the qualifying marathon yet. I’ll do that in February.
It’s just that running has been really hard for me ever since I signed up.
Especially getting those long runs in… It’s just that considering I have at least one 24+ hour call a week, that means I’m out of action two days a week… leaving me five days to do four runs.
It’s hard. I’ve always just run for the sake of running, the only person I had anything to prove to being myself.
Suddenly I doubt myself every step of the way.
I feel like the Blerch is following me around wherever I run.
I need advice, running world!

Mr Nike says…Just Do It. Its the thinking part that robs us of success/action. Get out there like a mad person and Just Do It.
Good luck. The Two Oceans is always a BIG deal for runners. Hope you eventually get the needed boost.
