I am really just trying to find my routine. I will be glad when the Zevenheuvelen race is over and then I can get back to actually just going out and enjoying whatever I decide to run, not feel like I have to. Planning did help last week! It didn't go completely as I would have liked, but it's a start. Thanks for being "out there" and motivating me (even if you didn't realise it!)!

I'm three days in to my new 'eating healthier' creed and it's been hard cutting back on the things I was used to treating myself to. But I know it'll be worth it and eventually I'll notice the results. Good luck! Good on you for deciding to stick with it and keep a positive attitude.

Know what you mean, I'm not fast either but I don't like being one of the last either anymore. Tempo runs in your shorter runs and interval runs might help you get faster. Planning helps a lot, I know it works for me. I have to say that I was glad I cancelled the Bergrace when I saw the weather.

And totally impressed by your race and running last week...after all, you have so much more on than I do, and yet ran a whole heck of a lot more than I did! so, yeah, you've inspired me to blog again tonight..it's been awhile. Stay tuned! AWESOME! I’m happy to hear about the change of heart.

Please don't look at my blog today.. I've been a bad girl :( Your planning sounds great and I think you are right about it being the key to success. I'm going to be in Jordan for work this week so I'm hoping I can try to be as healthy as possible even though I have no idea what will be on offer to eat. On the running front I'm sure you have probably tried this but I was told that doing interval bursts of faster running really helps you to up your speed. Have you tried this? Just doing a sprint every few minutes can really help you increase your capacity to run faster. I am still incredibly envious of your amazing running news. I can't even run for 5 minutes at the moment! Keep it up :D you are an inspiration to us all!
