What a week!

I went snowboarding on Monday which was great! We went for 2 hours and were both doing really well so decided to go to the top. We had been practicing from half-way before we do our final lesson.

It was hard from the top though, we did it three times and then decided to do it from half-way again. It’s a lot steeper and I felt myself losing confidence to turn. It’s okay though, we can try again next time and I’m sure it will get easier. Half-way was hard before and we were doing really well with it this time. It’s just small steps, right?

I ran 10k on Thursday. I intended to just do an easy 5 miles but I ran my first 3 miles with 9.30 min miles, so decided to go for the PB 10k. I ran it in 1hour and 5 minutes a few weeks ago. This time I got 1:00:49 which is great for me!

I ran 3 10k races last year and got 1:14 in all of them.

Finally, Sunday was my half-marathon.

What a fantastic day. I was really nervous but it wasn’t as bad as I thought. The first 4 miles were a bit tough but then I felt really strong for the rest of it, apart for the last mile where I was wishing it to be over. My goal was to run it in less than 2:30 and I did 2:23:04 (chip time!) so I’m really proud of myself.

I’m going to run it next year and hopefully get under 2:20 🙂 I’ll post the full re-cap later this week!

How was your week?

    Love reading your fitness updates; it’s a great way to track your progress 🙂 Well done on completing the half marathon with a faster time than your goal! I bet you’re over the moon. I’m starting my own little fitness series on my blog later tonight – I’ll be linking to your blog as you’ve inspired me to write my own 🙂
