This Messy Happy maybe my second full marathon. Qualifying for Boston is my main goal because it’s my home race. I wasn’t too far off my first try so I just need to keep working at it
Congrats Mary. And congrats and thanks to you both. Thanks to you I did my 1st event and half marathon today in less than 1.47 with no training before your 6 week training plan. To bad I couldn't sign in to the London marathon to run next to you and thank you in person.
My vote goes to half marathon. It took me 6 or 7 years to step up to marathon. Take your time and make it a lifetime thing. Too much distance too soon can do damage. Your body needs time to adapt 👍🏻
Running it this year! Thanks for the lovely video - taking extra inspiration from Mary, and hope to keep that kind of a smile than my usual grimace/grunty look.
Great video! I finally got into this race through the lottery, after trying for four years, and now it's been pushed back to April (and will probably get bumped back again). But it absolutely looks epic. Congrats, Mary!
Congrats Mary!!! I think Ben was able to get in some serious mileage as well. I really love the vlog style at the beginning of this video. Such a great video. 👍
Thanks dude! It was a good one but I was a bit itchy only watching 😂 we’re both racing an awesome 10k tomorrow and I can’t wait. Bought the new GoPro 8 to vlog the race with. So excited!! Like a kid at Xmas 🤦🏻♂️🤓
Hey both of you...I was doing the literally the same elsewhere on the very same weekend...I was chasing my wife around at the Oxford half...so yayyyyy!!!! Well done!!!!
Ha ha well done mate. Look at us chasing our wives round for a change. She probably deserved it after years of coming to my races. Although I still find supporting hard as I want to run too!! 😂
Hey, no 1:30 yet but we think maybe next year. It’s doable. She did a 42.20 10k recently and that’s above the pace you need for a 1:30 so we’re building!! 🤞
Wow a 42:20 10k is almost dead on what she needs for a 130 half marathon. If she wants it bad enough she can do. This youtube channel you started should hopefully push her to get it done! i think shes got it no problem
Absolutely love your videos, you are such an Inspiration Mary 🏃🏼♀️
Hey! Thanks so much for the kind words 😊 that’s so nice of you and I’ll pass them on to Mary 👍🏻
Great job! I ran a PB of 1:32:08 in a half marathon today in Newburyport MA
That’s awesome! Well done. What’s next?!

I’m following your beginner to 10k program and Mary’s smile while running was very inspiring to see. Good job 👍🏻
Ha ha thank you. She really enjoyed this one. It was nice for me to watch too 😊
Lo Lo I followed Ben’s 10K training plan after several years off from running and ran a strong 10K 2 weekends ago. Definitely recommended!
Sttonkeoj Good to hear! I’m looking forward to completing my first 10k!
Congrats Mary.
And congrats and thanks to you both.

Hey that’s awesome! What’s next? Congratulations. I’m sure we’ll meet up at a race at some point 👍🏻
@@ThisMessyHappy still deciding if half under 1.30 or a marathon
Part of this victory is also yours

@@ThisMessyHappy your vote counts triple. So probably that's the next goal probably. Thanks
Congratulations Mary!! So good to see you enjoying it from start to finish!!! 👍🏽👍🏽
Thanks Alex, she loved it and definitely wants to do it again. Sign of a good race 😊👍🏻

Fingers crossed for April, Tim. It was a great day for Mary. Not so great for me a I’m not so good at watching 😂
Congrats Mary!!! I think Ben was able to get in some serious mileage as well. I really love the vlog style at the beginning of this video. Such a great video. 👍
Ha ha yeah I put in a good shift. Thanks buddy. As always 👍🏻
This is ACE - I'm so glad that Mary had such a banger of a race - fun is criteria one, after all! Good vlogging too - that 'high five' edit was dope!
Thanks dude! It was a good one but I was a bit itchy only watching 😂 we’re both racing an awesome 10k tomorrow and I can’t wait. Bought the new GoPro 8 to vlog the race with. So excited!! Like a kid at Xmas 🤦🏻♂️🤓
This Messy Happy it’s the Don mate - you’re going to notice a massive difference in stability..! Have a great run - can not wait to see the vlog..!!
Congratulations Mary! Great running. I'm new to the channel and really love your positivity. Have a lovely holiday 🙂
Hey Ashley! Welcome aboard and thanks so much for the kind words. That’s the aim, positivity overload 😂 👍🏻
Hey both of you...I was doing the literally the same elsewhere on the very same weekend...I was chasing my wife around at the Oxford half...so yayyyyy!!!! Well done!!!!
Ha ha well done mate. Look at us chasing our wives round for a change. She probably deserved it after years of coming to my races. Although I still find supporting hard as I want to run too!! 😂
This Messy Happy, I did a 10k chasing her around the course. So I got some training as well ☺️☺️
Great good Mary, looked a great run! 👍
Cheers James. It was a good one!! 👍🏻
Well done Mary! I share your love of napping, every weekend without fail where possible :D

This Messy Happy Have a great time on holibobs
Great Vid. U guys r cute together. Looks like an amazing half👍
Ha ha thanks dude. We have fun that’s for sure. Definitely a good half as Mary wants to do it again. That’s always a good sign.
Well done Mary!
Cheers Joe. I’ll pass it on 👍🏻
I think she was wearing Kipchoge's shoes - it explains the bouncing up and down... ;-)
She is so beautiful!!!
Nice video. Question, does Mary ever get mad? It seems like she is always smiling, which is great.
Ohhh believe me she can get mad as she lives with me!! 😂 but generally she’s a very happy smiley individual 🤟🏼
I dont think you guys said what time she got on this race? did mary get her sub 1:30:00 yet?
Hey, no 1:30 yet but we think maybe next year. It’s doable. She did a 42.20 10k recently and that’s above the pace you need for a 1:30 so we’re building!! 🤞
