The finish of another marathon journey. Through running we learn a lot about ourselves. After all the worrying and all the disappointments during my training, I was rewarded with a PB and a great race. It’s all a bit of a blur, no idea how I was able to run so well for my standards. When we started I felt good and I just went for it. Don’t know where this power came out of. I loved every minute of it. My son says I am a celebrity for a few days 😊 and he will be bringing me things to help me out, as I deserve it since I ran that long. I’m making my list of demands! Thanks to my trainer (@romasprotraining) and everyone who helped me train and heard me out. #medalmonday #athensauthenticmarathon #athensmarathon #romasprotraining #aclaphamrunneringreece #marathonfinisher (at Panathinaiko Stadium, Athens) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4ueC6sHwqq/?igshid=1xfmeqp4ndebz

Medal Tuesday (ooooops, sorry for the delay) and showing off my 10k medal. Chaffed with my time as it was only the 3rd time I came in under 47’. The best thing was that I felt really great and was running strong to the finish, even though that part was slightly uphill. Met with some other fellow runners too, which made it all that much more fun. Then enjoyed the sunshine with friends and family. Great Sunday!! #10kmrace #kallithea10km #runnersofinstagram #rungreece #aclaphamrunneringreece #runforthesoul #runningmum #running #runner #springrun # (at Kallithéa, Greece) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwBsJuKgB6F/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1bb0caw7wv3zv

Easy running today so it was a three generation type of day at the track with my dad, me and my boy. Some naughty little person brought lots of toys with him, all 2 bags of it. Seriously my run was only 45min long!! #easyrun #running #runner #aclaphamrunneringreece #runningmummy #rungreece #runvari #runnersofinstagram #romasprotraining (at Vári, Greece) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtHHVAXg-qt/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1o5ee98977g8f

Thursday run ticked nice and early. Some warm up on the treadmill followed by 8x45” repeats up a serious hill right outside our house. The neighbors might think I’m mad 🤪. #hilltepeats #thursdayrunday #run #running #aclaphamrunneringreece #runnersofinstagram #runningmum #runthesouthcoastofathens #romasprotraining (at Várkiza, Attiki, Greece) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsd1qktgvNX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=74b6incgw2wj

My world has been torn into tiny little pieces since yesterday. However I ran today at sunset in the trails. One hour during which I broke away, I was alone, free, admiring the sunset, seeing the city lights come on and all was normal again for a little while. Running, my rock. #fartlekrun #trailrunning #aclaphamrunneringreece #runthesouthcoastofathens #runningmum #runvari (at Vouliagméni, Greece) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpphicJAAiN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=yi7dup4pin8w

A nice end to the weekend with a good run feeling in control of my body and finishing with a strong 4km. Loving the cooler weather! Giving myself a bit of freedom in my training seems to be paying off! I hope you peeps had a grand weekend and you’re ready to tackle the new week 😉. #sundayrunday #sundayrun #longrun #runningmum #aclaphamrunneringreece #runthesouthcoastofathens #runvari #running #runner #run #runnersofinstagram (at Vári, Greece) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpfZuGOgUsD/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jywmq7mqw7so

A nice relaxed 10k run around the track with the calf feeling a bit less tight and at decent pace. Had the company of the rising full moon!!! I’m taking advantage of running for fun at the moment but I also hope I can get back to some interval training and some racing soon 😉. #beinginjuredsucks #recoveryrun #track #runforfun #runathens #rungreece #aclaphamrunneringreece #running #runner #run #runnerslife #instarunners #runnersofinstagram #runnerscommunity #iloverunning #ilovetorun #runninggirl #worldrunners #runningmum #runthesouthcoastofathens #runvari #athenssouthcoast (at Várkiza, Attiki, Greece)

On the way to recovery and recovering some speed! I did three 10k runs this week, first one in 58.33min, second one in 56.33min and the third in 54.24min. Starting to feel more like myself with every run that goes by. Really happy to be out there enjoying running once again. (at Vári, Greece)
