I have exactly one month to my first ever Two Oceans Marathon in Cape Town. To prepare for the marathon, I decided to participate in the annual Tilisi Run. I find it funny that I did the 21km, same distance as my Two Oceans Marathon but it’s always good to feel prepared.
Tilisi Fun Run 2023
As I mentioned in my previous running post, I prepared for my half marathons using the Nike Run Club app. My goal was to simply do an easy long run without trying to get a new personal record. As I train for my next marathon, I have learnt that some runs are simply meant to help with recovery and not improve your time. I finished the run in roughly 2h 20 minutes! I know I can do better and will do better next month!
As for the run itself, I would say it was very challenging for me. It was so hilly, especially the last 2km. I think I did the slowest jog ever that honestly could be considered to be a walk. I would recommend the run to anyone especially kids as there was a fun zone at the end for kids to enjoy.
Lastly, I received another marathon sponsored post about the upcoming Nairobi Expressway marathon. My Instagram is always filled with marathon ads. I even got a Geneva marathon sponsored post. I hope to do the half marathon and try to get a personal record with this marathon because the expressway is flat and hopefully no hills.
Tell Me Lies Hulu Series
For the first time in a year I did not manage to start and finish a book in a week! I spent my nights finally watching the screen adaptation of Tell Me Lies on Hulu. I read and reviewed this book last month and was eager to see how it would translate on screen. I might do a detailed blogspot sharing my thoughts on the screen vs book adaptation but it felt like an entirely different story as they changed so many important things.
I might now just read 2 books to balance it all out next week. I hope to read All Our Missing Hearts by Celeste Ng. Celeste wrote Little Fires Everywhere so I am excited to read this!
I wish you all a great week!
