Clare's Running Story
septembre 05, 2023 2 lire la lecture
2020 for me was the turning point in my lack of fitness and health. That’s when I started running. As for many people, Couch to 5k was the start of my journey. I then ran that distance in memory of my mother at the Race for Life. My time was 46 minutes, but I did it.
From there the bug took hold and I ran a 10k and then stupidly entered a half marathon - not having a clue about training. Yes, that went badly! I decided to join a running club which helped me to grow in confidence and in 2022 I started running better. Then I came across the Notch when a friend wore hers.
I bought my first bracelet and filled it with everything, from fastest park run to all my half marathons, even for the one when I travelled to Utah to run in the mountains. The bracelet was so full it hardly went on my wrist!
In 2023 I ordered a new bracelet engraved with the year. I added Notches for my running club and my running coach group, plus one for my cat Marmite who died.
I always think of Notches as my mini medals as I can wear them with pride even while out running. if I struggle with a run I can touch and see them, which for me, is so motivating.
So far this year I’ve run five half marathons. One was a huge Personal Best, so I’ve added a Notch for that too.
Notch feels a bit like a club sometimes, as they start conversations with other wearers. I’ve also purchased some for my running friends who now collect them too.
And I love being able to match the notch to the colour of the medal ribbon.
Next year I’ve decided to go bigger and try a full 26.2 miles ! Watch this space.
