Your body, your mind, heart and soul,
All combined, set a goal
To start today; no better time
If you really want this
You need to strive. Work for your goals,
Work as hard as you can
Staying focused, you need a plan
You're pushed to your limits;
That's what you think. You can reach it,
You just need to believe.
Believe in yourself, have some faith,
I know it's not easy
Make no mistake, comes from within
This new strength you shall find,
Conquer your goals, body and mind.

I wrote this two years ago when I was training for a half marathon, it was a huge struggle mentally and a massive test... dedication, motivation and positivity kept me focused (with a bit of hard work added in for good measure)
I raised £1850 for a charity in Australia called 'The Bushwalkers Wilderness Rescue Squad' who had a huge involvement in the search for a much missed friend.
I found out one week after running the race I was pregnant.
