My Birthday Marathon

74 marathons in honour of Sri Chinmoy's 74th birthday...It was the sort of project that I was keen to be involved in, as I have an incredible love for running and fitness.  I came to know of this project when it was well under way, and spoke to Karina immediately, to see if I sould be involved. Yes! Definately!  Low and behold the only day she had free on her schedule happened to be my birthday!
I had a month to train for my marathon, and got straight into training for the distance... 26 miles... It had been a long time between marathons!
Unfortunately, I came down with the flu two weeks before my scheduled run.  One week in bed, and one week of slow recovery... My birthday arrived.. My day to run.. I started off slowly, and knew that there was no way I would be running the distance if it wasn't for the fact I was one of 74 marathon's..  The course was lovely and the weather was great! My marathon was slow but peaceful, and the though of chocolate cake and a massage kept me going!!

Happy Birthday :-)
