A great few days 🏃‍♀️ 👟 🏅 and I won on eBay!!!

[Dizzysmum17]

Hi fellow running peeps. After my first post on here last week so much has happened!! On Friday I changed my route a bit and ended up further from home than I thought so had to continue running (obviously 😆) and ended up running just over 6k!! I was so chuffed to have run so far - and my pace was my best so far too - although I know I will definitely need to slow down for the longer runs.

Then I broke the rule of never running two days in a row and on Saturday I did my first park run - the picture is of myself (very red-faced) and my friend, who has done 58 park runs, as we left the park. It was great - incredibly hot and very busy but I came 126 out of 208 and although Strava lied to me saying I’d only done 4.7k my official Parkrun time was 31.19 - I know it’s not an exact science but I’ll take it!

And finally this morning I won a Garmin Forerunner 35 on eBay - can things in this world of running get much better than that??

Happy running and take care in this heat guys! 🏃‍♀️😆👟🏃🏃‍♀️😘

Sounds like you’ve been very busy! Well done! 😃❤️🏃‍♀️

Will love to hear how you get on with the Garmin Forerunner 35, as I’m thinking of that model once the next sales are on. (I’m useless on eBay!😂)

Thank you MD. I’ll definitely let you know - I’m so excited! Was going to wait and ask for one for Christmas but far too impatient for that 😆 🏃‍♀️ 😊

Well done you!! You’ll love your Garmin 👍. I have one and it’s fab! 😊

[Dralimc]

OMG Louise, you won a Garmain??? How? How? How? Your destiny was always to be a runner! 🏃🏻‍♀️

[Dizzysmum17 Graduate10 in reply to Dralimc]

Haha yes I did! If I wasn’t off work I wouldn’t have had the time to follow the bidding! Are you packed for Spain yet? X

[Dralimc in reply to Dizzysmum17]

Getting there. Family on strict instructions last wash today! Will send some photos through on Strava. X

[Dizzysmum17 Graduate10 in reply to Dralimc]

Ooh I’ll look out for them. Have the best time. And relax! Xx

[Dralimc in reply to Dizzysmum17]

I seriously didn’t know you could win free stuff on eBay. Going on right now!

[Dizzysmum17 Graduate10 in reply to Dralimc]

It wasn’t free but much cheaper than in shops or amazon. X

[Dralimc in reply to Dizzysmum17]

Duh! 🙄 I get it, you won the bid. Well done though! 👍

[Dizzysmum17 Graduate10 in reply to Dralimc]

Haha 😆 honestly it was better than half price and it’s blue - so bonus! Give it a go. 😁

[Dralimc in reply to Dizzysmum17]

On it!!!! X

[Dizzysmum17 Graduate10 in reply to Ang33333]

Thank you Ang. And I hope I will - I’m so excited! Haha 😆 x

[Wizziewood Graduate10]

A great few days indeed!

Brilliant Parkrun time ... well done you!

Thank you Wizziewood x

Hey, what a great post, wins on every level. Well done! X

[Dizzysmum17 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Thanks Flick! I now need a goal so getting the watch may help to keep me more focused - at least that’s my plan! X

[Hidden in reply to Dizzysmum17]

I'm doing a virtual challenge this month. It's certainly stopped me going out and thinking meh and just doing 2-3k, telling myself I'm too tired.x

[Dizzysmum17 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

That’s a good plan. I’m off on holiday on Sunday for a fortnight so I’ll start my plan when I get back. A virtual challenge is good but wasn’t sure I could manage it this month. Will sign up for September’s I think. X

[Hidden in reply to Dizzysmum17]

I'm doing 50 miles and there's bling! You can do smaller or larger amounts x

[Dizzysmum17 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

I’ll have a go at that next month then - that’s definitely a plan! Thanks. And one can never have enough bling 🏅! X
