Staying in the wilderness, or not chasing that goal. Or what it’s like to run the best race of your life. May 5, 2014. May 5, 2014. I’ve been trying to write this post for nearly 2 weeks now and I just cannot get a handle on the angle I should be taking. Should I tell you about all the great stuff I did with my mother? About all the wonderful friends I saw and spent time with? The superstars I collared for a photo? Or just the race? To do well, to run strong, to. Jess – my wonderful hostess upon ar...

https://petraruns.wordpress.com/2013/04/26/hmmmm
Staying in the wilderness, or not chasing that goal. April 26, 2013. I really don’t know what to write here. I’m writing to gain some clarity rather than to present you with an overall edited view of the past 2 weeks, as I really don’t know what I think or feel. Walking towards the green start. Waiting around at the start, spending my time endlessly queuing for the loo. I was met by lovely friends afterwards and my wonderful husband and feted and admired and looked after. I got such lovely texts and ...

Staying in the wilderness, or not chasing that goal. A race, interrupted training and the new year. January 11, 2015. So I ran the race. And I loved it. I never really understand that I don’t race much, have to be coaxed into racing and then when I do it I love it. Why do I resist doing something I enjoy? Most times (London 2013 was an exception) I am beaming from ear to ear,… Continue reading A race, interrupted training and the new year. Middot; next marathon. December 5, 2014. December 5, 2014.

Running finds you out. – Petraruns
https://petraruns.wordpress.com/2015/03/10/running-finds-you-out
Staying in the wilderness, or not chasing that goal. Middot; new direction. Running finds you out. March 10, 2015. And for the past few weeks, I’ve been telling friends and clients. And the most interesting thing about this is that almost everyone has said to me “I understand. You have nothing to prove anymore”. Which makes me wonder about my motivation for the past decade or so. Did I ever have something to prove? An Ironman. And no – I did not do. I loved it – can’t you tell? March 10, 2015 at 2:05 pm.

Staying in the wilderness, or not chasing that goal. Or what to do when your mojo is down the drain and all feels hopeless. January 28, 2015. That drew you in didn’t it? Whose fault is it that I am doing this? 8221; Ok – maybe some of you are not as immature as I am and you might not be blaming others for the situation you find yourself in. Congratulations – you have evolved. I, clearly, have not. Which has pushed me to do stuff I haven’t done before (and I LOVE it! R back in 2013 – I could not mot...

Staying in the wilderness, or not chasing that goal. A race, interrupted training and the new year. January 11, 2015. So I ran the race. And I loved it. I never really understand that I don’t race much, have to be coaxed into racing and then when I do it I love it. Why do I resist doing something I enjoy? Most times ( London 2013. Discuss) and Sal and I were on our way home. That time. And you know? I’m not the kind of person who’s meant to lose weight”, “see? Some windy running on a grey day. I wish I c...

Staying in the wilderness, or not chasing that goal. I am an Ironman – part 3 (and this is it! August 12, 2014. August 12, 2014. Yes, enough already. I know that. This is IT. After this post, I am an Ironman so relax and know there are no more cliffhangers. Although – Jeanne McCann. 8211; that might be slightly overstating it? How amazing is it to see everyone cheering you on? And barely 2 kms later I was greeted by my parents who could not have cheered louder or been more enthusiastic. I quickly sought ...

On running a crappy race and why you should do it. – Petraruns
https://petraruns.wordpress.com/2014/12/05/on-running-a-crappy-race-and-why-you-should-do-it
Staying in the wilderness, or not chasing that goal. Middot; next marathon. On running a crappy race and why you should do it. December 5, 2014. December 5, 2014. Except that I quite like running on my own, in my own time, on my own watch. I consider myself very lucky in that I am capable of doing hard workouts on my own, just me and my Garmin. I don’t need a crowd or competitors to kick me into working hard. But my coach wants a benchmark which means I have actually entered 2 (. Get the fizzy pop ready ...

I’ve got a new plan, Stan! – Petraruns
https://petraruns.wordpress.com/2014/11/10/ive-got-a-new-plan-stan
Staying in the wilderness, or not chasing that goal. I’ve got a new plan, Stan! November 10, 2014. Yes finally. After months of nothing much to report, I’m back in the game. Back at it. Back on a schedule. On the plus side, and continuing with the supertanker analogy, I sometimes only realise after a while that change is actually happening – here I am beating myself up for not getting anywhere and actually, I’m nearly halfway through the turn. Feels good to be out there running long again! I know, from t...
