However, many times I stared on the blank page and didn't know how to start or how to continue.
When the habit of delaying was formed into shape each week with running data accumulating, the writing usually left undone.
At the same time, some other tasks was given priority as well after training was done.
The past 7 month can be divided into three phases:
May - July: recovering from the injury which weekly training consisted of mainly strength workout and easy run.
May - July: recovering from the injury which weekly training consisted of mainly strength workout and easy run.
July - Aug : Building up mileage for next cycle of training
Aug - current: Training for Xiamen Int Marathon
By around mid-May or June, the decision to not participate in Gold Coast Airport Marathon was made.
With the attempt to get a place in Tokyo Marathon 2017 failed, the focus was then on Xiamen which will be held on the 2nd day of the new year.
Training was still ongoing at the low period as the mileage summary below:
May - 149 km
June - 203 km
July - 175 km
Aug
Week 1 - 48 km
Week 2 - 82 km
Week 3 - 90 km
Week 4 - 78 km
Week 5 - 96 km (1st week of training cycle, 1st tempo)
Sept
Week 1 - 98 km (failed attempt of m-pace run)
Week 2 - 115 km (2nd tempo)
Week 3 - 120 km (1st 32 km long run)
Week 4 - 126 km (3rd tempo, 2nd m-pace run)
Oct
Week 1 - 100 km (recovery week)
Week 2 - 88 km (4th tempo, skipped Sat recovery and Sun long run as tired of working and travelling)
Week 3 - 127 km (5th tempo, 1st 35 km long run)
Week 4 - 80 km (3rd m-pace run, done 2 days after 24 km run, brought forward to Fri for outstation trip on the weekend)
The summary was done up to Oct as it started to get busy each week.
There were almost weekly or biweekly travel to outstation on Oct and Nov, which make keeping up with training a challenge.
Like a marathon, things will be getting easier stage by stage.
Roughly 3 more weeks to go for the next run.
Like walking the tightrope, I need to keep my core muscle (and heart and mind) strong to keep the balance between training, working and other aspects of life.
Recently there was a news about a man juggles to complete a marathon at 2 h 55 min, "without a single drop" the headline added.
That is totally the skill I need.

I never thought that I was invincible to STD s or pregnancy or anything else parents warn their kids about. I just didn’t think about it. I was in a monogamous relationship and thought that I asked the right questions. We even talked about marriage Scary. During that time I was in college and donated blood on a regular basis in efforts to help others when I could. As you may know, each donation is tested. Well, on July 6th I had a meeting with a Red Cross representative and was told that I had HIV. “What went through your mind when you heard that "Rose" Good question reader! To be honest, I thought my life was over, that I would ever find love, get married, have children or anything normal. Lucky for me I have an amazing support system.
