Running update, today I smashed my 10km record.
Definitely helped that it was very cold today. I really am a cold weather person, I collapse in the heat.
I still find it mad that I can run for a whole hour without stopping, let alone actually going a bit further and reaching 10km.

Hit my first-ever sub 30 min 5k. Not bad for someone who couldn't run for more than a minute at the start of last year. Tbh, running for 30 seconds was a struggle when I started.

Glad I live in the Isle of Man because I came home from the gym to this. I wasn't robbed, I just forgot to close the door when I left the house 🤦♂️

Had some tough runs post-Tour where I thought I was going backwards but pulled a PB out of the bag today.
Sometimes you have to go through the rough to find the groove.

I remember the first Tour de France Femmes when the race barely made it into L'Èquipe (more fool them), let alone dominating the front page.

Loved my first Tour de France on the other side of the fence. Dug pretty deep mentally, and made memories that will last a lifetime. Celebrating today by doing nothing but drink tea and watch TV.
Tired but happy. #TDF2025

I had two running goals for this year: run outside for the first time (because I have mostly been running on the treadmill) and getting to 10km.
In May I started running outside and today I finally hit 10km for the first time. From not being able to run for a whole minute to over an hour in a year.

Did my second-ever outdoor run and smashed my 5k PB by well over a minute. Felt like I might pass out in the process but delighted with the progress.
Now, if you need me I will be watching the Giro all afternoon.

This was me just over two years ago, at my heaviest. A couple of months before I decided that I needed to sort myself out. I'd had my first anaemia diagnosis, which proved to be a massive step forward in fixing my health.

As of today, I am officially -30kg down. The stress with my house meant that I basically stopped losing weight, but that I didn't put it back on was a massive achievement. It's not all about weight, getting fitter is v. important to me, but it's a good sign that I am moving in the right direction.
