Sticking to my plan of one day on one day off, I headed over the bridge today at a vastly reduced pace. Very much stop and smell the roses type run. It was quite windy today but it couldnt decide which direction to come from. I was amazed at the police presence on the bridge(for the Forbes Summit I presume) and reflected that probably at some point in my life we are not going to be able to walk or run on the bridge for security reasons.
The bridge has real significance to my running. Whilst it is hardly the ideal running location, with its crowded cambered(sp) concrete footpath, it also represents my first marathon and has the most incredible views, I just never get sick of it. So today I enjoyed running on it is if were the last time I would.
About Me
- silverfox
- I love my family to bits, they mean absolutely everything to me. I am also a total nut for my running, it gives me an incredible amount of joy and rewards in some form everyday. Whether that is in the form of a bouquet or kick up the rump, it never fails to remind how lucky I am to have embraced it.I believe in honesty, humility,hard work and compassion.I despise injustice and believe that good things come to good people.I was brought up on a staple of team sports and firmly believe the values learnt from that environment have served me well in life. However one of the reasons I got into running was to do something for myself.No excuses apart from the limitations you place on yourself.I am competitive but not consumed by it.I run for me.I have never been driven to compete just to beat someone else-ever.I am fortunate to have made many friends through running.I hope some of those were borne of shared commeraderie and good spirit whilst competing. Finally running reminds me daily that you get from life what you put in.
