Iβve just done my last run before my charity run on Saturday. I did just under 6k on Monday, but didnβt 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.
Iβll only be doing a workout session to help to build up my stamina on Friday now, (rather than a run). So Iβm ready for Saturday!! Iβm now on the home stretch to a big running goal and Iβm sure a pretty emotional but happy day!! ππΎββοΈππΎββοΈππΎββοΈπ!
Happy running Runners! β€οΈ

Your really taking to this. All the best for Saturday. I'm sure you will breeze it boom boom all the wayππ
Well done Fabz!! You're doing great, increasing distance & still being mindful of what your body needs you to do π Enjoy Saturday, it'll be a memorable event I'm sure π
Aah thank you so much Flara!! I even bought a special pair of shorts for my run!! Itβs green with the little skirt over!! I think Iβm going to look like a rainbow before the paint throwing starts, but as I say, βOut there, donβt careβ!! Itβs a big colourful event!! ππβ€οΈ
Oh itβs 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! π€£ππππ€
I guess Iβll look like a clown before and after. Iβll have it!! π€£β€οΈ
Good luck for the big day on Saturday Fabulous450! Sounds like a good idea to take a couple of run rest days to prepare. xxππββοΈβ€οΈπππ
Aah thank you so much Fernshome! I never thought Iβd be all smiley about running a 5k race. π In fact, I probably would have been worried about walking it before C25K!! Get me!! π€£ππ½ππ½ππ½β€οΈ
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 πͺπͺπͺ
Oh thank you so much Irishprincess! Iβll be smiling before and after!! Iβm practicing a lot of smiling already!! I wonβt go out fast! Iβm on a mission! The only personal goal is to run the whole course! The time has absolutely no significance on this one!! πͺπ½ππβ€οΈ
Well done fab ...im sure you will do great on saturday good luck tho i dont think you need it ..will be cheering you on ..looking forward to your post ..all the very best to you ..you keep us,all going ππππ
Sorry I canβt be there to cheer you on the Rainbow - but you wonβt need my cheers or luck- youβve got this! ππͺπ have a fantastic day ππ€β€οΈ
Oh thank you Equi!! It was great running with you on my first and only Parkrun so far!! So grateful to you. π Iβve run that course a few times now on my own too! I feel ready! I canβt believe how far Iβve come to be even saying that! πβ€οΈ
ππ½ππ½ Thanks so much Eiralas!! Missed ya Eiralas! Hope youβre doing ok in your recovery. π€
Iβm feeling excited already!! I canβt believe itβs tomorrow!! π± It seemed such a long way away when I signed up. And... no way did I think Iβd be running all the way. I just have to focus on staying in my capability zone with the pace. So Iβll be tracking down a slow Pacer and just pick it up naturally.
