    This week we thought it was a good idea to throw a 31.6 km road race at the end of a big run week & I was totally shocked how well it went ๐Ÿ˜ณ Because I knew I would be tired (and had been a bit off the last couple days) and had just run 2 hrs 2 days ago, the plan was to start super easy and just build it so I would recover well. The first 10 km I avg 4:24, 2nd 10km was 4:15 and last 11.9km was 4:04. I only would have needed to do 10 more km in 44min to go sub 3 so this just shows the training Iโ€™m doing is working๐Ÿค—! All the running and loads of easy running. Do I wish I were lighter, yes but at the same time Iโ€™m worried about dropping weight with all this run volume and getting injured so I think Iโ€™ll just stay right here. Really excited for GC marathon now in 6 weeks and for the first time, I actually believe I can run 2:5..something, even at 64 kg ๐Ÿ’ช I was 3rd ๐Ÿฅ‰ overall female today and late for the start again ๐Ÿ™ˆ But I wasnโ€™t interested in peeing my pants in a run race- I will only do that during an Ironman ๐Ÿคฃ Thanks for all the cheers out there ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™ #noosamarathon #running #runner #marathontraining #godiiva #f2cnutrition #teambarnes #teambarnesmultisport #trisutto

    Sunday: For over a week I have been in alot of pain with my shoulder, knee and hands which were injured when I had a fall. My shoulder is giving me hell, but finally today as painful as it was got my arm above my head. The bruise around my knee and left leg is huge but it works. My entire body hurts but still got out and ran all week. Riding bike still iffy with my shoulder. This morning got out in the rain and ran 15k. Gold Coast Marathon about 10 weeks away and looking forward to it, although I am very slow. At age 57 I think I am plodding along ok. @gcmarathon @neonrun @godiivalady #running #injuries #training #melbournerunner #gcm19 #gcmarathon19 #godiiva #ironman703training #ironmantraining #trilife #irongirl #itri

    When i wanted to give up at track intervals and said to the coach โ€œ im not built for speed im built for slow and steadyโ€ his reply pretty much made the most sense ever and made something just click even though it was so simple.... โ€˜your built that way because you have trained that wayโ€™ Hmmmm...maybe...... So lets build some speed then. I have a feeling this could hurt for a while!!! . . . #run #runner #speed #fast #nomoreslowandsteady #findingfast #beatyesterday #stronger #faster #training #triathlon #triathlontraining #wisewords #letsdothis #eatsleeptrainrepeat #tri #trigirl #swimbikerun #thanyapura #thanyapuraphuket #optimiseyourlife #travel #explore #thailand #mxendurance #jlvelo #godiiva

Its so beautiful to run around the roads by @thanyapuraphuket theough the rubber plantations, local village and jungle. Almost makes me forget how hard running is here.

    Yesterday was one of the prettiest trail runs Iโ€™ve done for a long time- for that few hours I was able to forget about all the stress Iโ€™ve been dealing with for the last few months regarding our move back to Australia. All the exercise Iโ€™m doing these days is just to clear my mind. If you have ever moved maybe you understand...I know people are thinking, โ€œbut itโ€™s beautiful sunny Australiaโ€ and yes Iโ€™m so grateful for that but itโ€™s still starting over. There are no routines set, we donโ€™t have a place yet but thankfully we do still have our car (with the curtain roof๐Ÿ˜‚). If you are a triathlete you likely have a โ€œroutineโ€. You know what time you need to be at work, pick the kids up etc and your training is all planned around that and your family- right now I donโ€™t feel like I have any of that and everything feels slightly out of control....but I know Iโ€™ll be fine ๐Ÿ™ I use to live for my routines. Iโ€™m writing this cuz itโ€™s helps me and maybe there is someone out there going through the same thing. At times I wish I was getting off the plane and had to go straight into a place of work and I know that sounds crazy but being more less self employed isnโ€™t always what it seems. Coaching is one of the hardest jobs Iโ€™ve ever had, emotionally, but in the end I grow from it, I do think Iโ€™m ok at it and I LOVE being able to help and mentor people and maybe show them something they didnโ€™t think they had. Massaging is something that comes easy but too much of it is also hard physically & emotionally so Iโ€™m grateful to be able to do both. I know this sounds like a pity party but itโ€™s real and honest. Life isnโ€™t always easy and I do believe we grow from the tough times and learn strategies to get through it when it comes again. My good friend Lana ๐Ÿ˜‡use to always tell me โ€œthings donโ€™t grow on mountain tops, only in the valleyโ€™sโ€. So tonight I hop on the plane to Australia and I will try to focus on all the good things to come, all the people over there I can try to help and remind myself that Iโ€™m doing my best๐Ÿ’๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธWhatโ€™s that saying โ€œnothing worthwhile in life is ever easy and nothing easy is ever worthwhileโ€. See you soon Brisbane ๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ #real #reflections #teambarnes
