What is next?

My next goals 
Keep running
No more marathons
10ks and half marathons from now on

Races booked
Hampton Court 10k
Oxford Half Marathon 
Hampton Court half marathon 
Also thinking about a London 10k


I need to learn how to run properly again. Training for a marathon in less than 6 months from nothing wasn't ideal. I cannot remember a point where my body hasn't ached since I started. 

I know I may not get back to 2:12 half marathons (13 years ago!) instead of my current 2:38 but I can get closer. 

I want to be able to run as well as attend my classes again. A mixture of the following (if I can get places!):

Tuesday - Body Balance or Dance (at work)
Wednesday - Body Pump
Saturday - Body Pump and/or Balance
Sunday - Circuits and then a new class - Stretch

I'm going to try and have monthly sports massages with Emily too.  

So back to scrolling for places on the App...
