What will 2013 bring?
As January reaches its half, Janathoners are full in action and all other runners train and make extensive exciting plans for the upcoming season, I am sitting in my bed, taking it easy and missing all of it so much. At the same time, I am living the nicest period of my life ever: the baby seems to be developing fine, we are almost at 34 weeks and despite my fear how a huge baby head will pass through a narrow opening somewhere down there, I cannot wait to welcome her to the world.
But where does it leave my running? Shouldn’t I make plans myself too? With 12 kg additional weight (compared to summer 2012) and the weekly pregnancy gym (synonym for meetings with other preggo’s and talking about how scared/happy/excited/tired we are) being my only exercise this might be a bit of a daring proposal but here it comes:
For my 40th birthday, I’d like to give myself a marathon. It does not have to be exactly on my birthday, it does not even have to be any official race. I just feel that – providing we stay healthy – the 42.195 km distance must be within my reach this year.
Hopefully now that, in the middle of my hibernation, I have posted the thought out loud, once I am physically able to re-grab my running, the motivation will come instantly.
Happy running all of you :-).
April Runs 
I hope It will bring you lots of pleasurable experiences (family life and sport – running especially :-)) Now fully enjoy “hibernation” and take care! 🙂
It started snowing here today as wel, so this involuntary hibernation actually feels rather natural. Thanks for your wishes and take care!
Wow … what a goal! Good luck! Do you plan to run with the pram?
Yes, with a pram, without it, alone, all of us… Whatever will fit our schedule, I guess. Something tells me the biggest challenge will be the timing/scheduling of my runs.
good luck! you will do it no problem – giving birth and the marathon xx
We’ll see. Both events seem rather demanding at this point. Good luck Janathoning!
Super cíl! Motivace přijde (řekla bych, že už přišla), vytrvalost máš, o tom žádná, zbývá jen najít v tom nadcházejícím babykolotoči čas na trénink. A ten najdeš, jak tě znám 🙂 Držím palce, určitě tě čekají zajímavé zážitky.
Diky, diky, budeme se vsechny snazit :-).
