Last run before Charity 5k on Saturday! 🌈 🏃🏾‍♀️

[Fabulous450]

Hi Runners

I’ve just done my last run before my charity run on Saturday. I did just under 6k on Monday, but didn’t have time to post. That was a lovely Headspace run. And I could have gone on longer. But mindful of the rest and recovery required, I left it at that.

Today was benchmark. 7 mins warm up, 3 minutes of run hard and 5 minutes cool down. Nice run to prepare for my day. Work will be pretty full on, but exciting, for the next two days.

I’ll only be doing a workout session to help to build up my stamina on Friday now, (rather than a run). So I’m ready for Saturday!! I’m now on the home stretch to a big running goal and I’m sure a pretty emotional but happy day!! 🏃🏾‍♀️🏃🏾‍♀️🏃🏾‍♀️🌈!

Happy running Runners! ❤️

Well done Fab - great idea to give your legs some rest before a ‘big’ run. I’m saving mine now until the next parkrun. 👍

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to MadDave]

Thank you Dave!! I’m glad I won’t have any hills on Saturday!! 😁😁❤️

[Flaraflarkin Graduate10]

Well done Fabz!! You're doing great, increasing distance & still being mindful of what your body needs you to do 😊 Enjoy Saturday, it'll be a memorable event I'm sure 😊

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Flaraflarkin]

Aah thank you so much Flara!! I even bought a special pair of shorts for my run!! It’s green with the little skirt over!! I think I’m going to look like a rainbow before the paint throwing starts, but as I say, “Out there, don’t care”!! It’s a big colourful event!! 😀😀❤️

Yes gonna be great fabby. Remember to get someone to take photos of you covered in colour! And remember to show em how it's done! 👍💪

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Jundal]

I’m kind of covered in colour before it starts, but absolutely! Thank you!! 😁😁❤️

[Jundal in reply to Fabulous450]

Is that pink and bright yellow? WE WANT GARISH!!!

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Jundal]

Oh it’s garish! Shorts are a neon(ish) green! I also have a very old school headband/goggles with blue shades to keep the paint out of my eyes. Nothing to cover the mouth though! 🤣🌈🌈🌈🤭

I guess I’ll look like a clown before and after. I’ll have it!! 🤣❤️

[Jundal in reply to Fabulous450]

That's the spirit! 😂

Good luck for Saturday though I know you won’t need luck ✅you should be very proud of yourself👍

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Fernshome]

Aah thank you so much Fernshome! I never thought I’d be all smiley about running a 5k race. 😁 In fact, I probably would have been worried about walking it before C25K!! Get me!! 🤣🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽❤️

[Irishprincess Graduate10]

Good luck, enjoy it and you'll be fab! Don't start off too fast and pace yourself, then give it your all at the end. Don't forget to smile for the cameras and be prepared to feel epic when you finish 💪💪💪

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Irishprincess]

Oh thank you so much Irishprincess! I’ll be smiling before and after!! I’m practicing a lot of smiling already!! I won’t go out fast! I’m on a mission! The only personal goal is to run the whole course! The time has absolutely no significance on this one!! 💪🏽😁😁❤️

[Eiralas]

Good luck Fabulous! Enjoy every step and revel in the rainbow colours ❤️✨💜🌟💙✨💚🌟💛 I'm sure you will smash it!

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Eiralas]

👋🏽👋🏽 Thanks so much Eiralas!! Missed ya Eiralas! Hope you’re doing ok in your recovery. 🤗

I’m feeling excited already!! I can’t believe it’s tomorrow!! 😱 It seemed such a long way away when I signed up. And... no way did I think I’d be running all the way. I just have to focus on staying in my capability zone with the pace. So I’ll be tracking down a slow Pacer and just pick it up naturally.

❤️
