Amateur as they come, but I want you to feel as awesome as I do! 💫

This popped in my head a week ago. Sure others have said similar more eloquently, but it really does sum up how important running has become to me 🙏🏻🙌.
Have an awesome day! 💫

Absolutely awesome run today! Got the idea to break 60 minutes for 10km and after a strong start I thought I might manage the PB 💪.
Smashed it! Loved it! Feeling great! 🔥
Hope all feeling equally awesome today! 💫

Not been the best few weeks for marathon training 🤔🤧. But desperately trying to keep the running habit going.
I know getting back in the habit is harder than keeping the habit, even if the run was a bit pants! 😄
Have an awesome Monday! 💫

Rocking a killer head cold 🤒! Came on in what seemed a few hours yesterday! 😮
Attempted to sweat 🥵 it out with a run 😄. Running could be the solution to most of life’s challenges! 🤣
Have a super fab day! 💫

Been out of it for a couple of weeks, but back on the training! Slow and steady this week, then longer and faster next! 💪
Plan came through from TCS London & very reassured I’m on the right path 👏.

Garmin said “no!” but I won’t be told what to do by a device however clever it may be!
Apparently the device had assessed my recovery correctly, & I had little to give 😴
So a slow dawdle it was!
Have a lovely dawdle through your Monday! 💫

Great run! The best run! 🍊
Not 💯 true as I missed out 1hr for 10km by 20 seconds. Annoying but pushed hard as a I could on the 2nd half.
Heart rate & pace up. Felt amazing & buzzing. Love a run I push myself! 🌟
Have an amazing afternoon! 💫

If you haven’t tried running in the morning, then just for a week or 2 commit and give it a go!
I promise you won’t regret and will feel fantastic for the whole day! 💫😄

No video today. Legs were tired from yesterday’s effort, so a sluggish slog.
Quite warm though & the wind is much calmer. A few people out but felt empty out there.
Lots of thinking time on a Monday morning 🤔.
Have a good day of things! 💫

Not quite the two year PB 5km I hoped for, but best since 09/23 and 2nd best since 2021, so I’ll still take that!
Felt great and surprised myself 💪.
Have a wonderful Sunday and hope the sun is shining like it is here! 💫

Super run with company yesterday, chatting most of the way.
Working name for my new informal, as yet unrealised, running club for positivity during the week, at 5am Wednesday’s, will be ‘Hump Day Harriers’…🤔🤣
Other suggestions considered! 👍😄

Absolutely terrifying and bonkers stat! 1 in 4 not doing even 30 minutes a week! Assume this is the states, but can’t imagine UK is that different 😔
34% of men & 42% women fail to meet minimum government recommendations for physical activity. A staggering 25% of people don’t even do 30 minutes of moderate activity (eg walking) *per week*. Adapting cities to prioritise active travel is such an easy win for public health

I wasn’t sure I did believe in myself at 0430 this morning.
But I dug inside me & pretended I’m a committed runner rising up belief in what I’m doing…
& had my best run for weeks. Felt absolutely awesome! 🌟

Out after a week off, not unsurprisingly I did fine!
Cardio & legs good, 💯 could have gone further & faster
Why do we feel if we aren’t moving we’re going backwards?Logic plays no part.
Great to prove the self doubt wrong though! 💫😄
Keep being amazing awesome people! 🌟

Walk to keep things moving, and against my preference, resting the funky hip 🤔.
Did give me a chance to admire some metal work on my usual route which I usually miss! 😄
Especially love the reclining people! 😄
Weather was thoroughly energetic!
