Are you an exerciser? What physical achievement are you most proud of? Ever play any sports?

Oh oh oh, look 👀 a perfect subject for me for todays blog! Yay

I love sport! Instead of saying my favourite it would be is there any that you don’t like! But instead of talking about playing sports, let’s just go to the “do I exercise and the achievement I am most proud of”!

I do lots of exercises, I walk lots, I do weights at least three times a week and I LOVE to run. I used to love running as a bairn and continued to do so until I got to that age when I discovered socialising and the running stopped.

But I am delighted to say that five years ago I got back into running and found the love that I had lost for it. But I was adamant that 10k would be the maximum I would ever run!

Roll forward to around this time last year and a friend and I talked ourselves into entering a 70 mile Ultra - aye, that’s a bit further than a 10k. And from that day on I have reached a number of achievements.

Hogmanay - completed my first ever half marathon

27th May - covered my first ever marathon distance!

15th June - covered my longest distance to date of 45 miles! (I pulled out just over half way of the Ultra with an injury)

So that is my achievements to date, however next year I have a 50 mile Ultra (determined to complete one) in March and then said friend with another two friends decided that we should all enter a 100 mile ultra, and so that is what we are doing next July!

If you love exercising and setting yourself a challenge than just do it! That feeling of accomplishment is phenomenal and I will continue to do so while I still enjoy it.
