What next? Ballina Salmon Run and Dublin City Marathon bound!

Dublin City Medal 2016

After training and completing the half marathon I am itching to keep going and I halfheartedly said in January I might do a marathon by the end of the year, so now I am going for it!  And what better city to do it in than Dublin in the centenary year.

Finishing a half was hard so I can imagine the full will be intense and a test of will power and dedication.

The hardest thing is trying to figure out a running schedule that isn't going to tire me out or bore me, I don't want the training sessions to become a chore so I am also training for the Ballina Salmon Run sprint triathlon which will see us swimming 750m downstream of the River Moy, complete a 20k cycle and a final 5km run.
 I have been doing a bit of cycling myself and have started doing time trials with the Liquid Motion Triathlon gang so the Salmon Run is seeming doable every day.
 I am not going to worry myself too much with times as even a couple of months ago I never would have dreamed of competing in this type of event so I will be happy to take part and enjoy the day.

Salmon Run

 I feel like every evening is being taken up with some sort of training, be it swimming, running, cycling or Inferno Pilates so I am hoping that I can keep it interesting and continue to get faster and stronger and still have fun with it which is definitely the most important thing!
