Marathon training week 5: Long run - Cape Town

Navigating the 16-week marathon training has become routine, and in the middle of week 5, I see the upcoming challenges. Today's run is a "short" 1.5 hours, but that will soon change with longer runs on the horizon. With summer break here, early morning runs are in my future.

As a teacher, having a long summer break is great. Looking back at 2023, a year with many moments, I feel like I've lost a bit of myself. Running has been my solace, offering purpose and calming my anxiety. But this year, I need something more. Amidst the sound of my feet hitting the ground, I'm seeking deeper clarity, a rofound understanding to find meaning again. Marathon training is not just a routine for my body; it's a journey for my soul. As I tie my running shoes, I'm on a quest for renewal, hoping that each step will guide me back to myself in the vast embrace of summer.
