Iβm just back from Run 2 of 3 to fulfil my January Quest. I work away during the week and I havenβt been packing the running kit for a little while! π In fact the kit was kind of tucked away for a bit, at home and away! But start to 2019 has been great and the Quest is made to spur me on! Thereβs no distance involved here, because my greatest achievement this month would be 3 runs per week!
Iβve done it in Jan Week 1, now Iβm on 2 of 3 in Week 2. Iβm absolutely delighted that I got back out there, though I did need to wait for a bit of light! Roll on spring! ππ½ Itβs challenging to fit it in before work. It was meant to be a fast pace 7 min βtempo runβ, but I didnβt feel I got going during that time and I donβt think it was very fast π. I like when you get to feel a little lost in the run, so I carried on to complete 2.46k in 18 minutes. Iβve done my run!ππΎββοΈππΎββοΈ ππ½ππ½!
Next run Friday, when Iβll be back at home! Could do Parkrun on Saturday though! π Mmmm....will see! Time to get ready βvery quicklyβ for work!! A discipline Iβm not great at! The mission continues!! πππ
Happy running runners and questers!! β€οΈ

Youβre perfectly capable! May see you there? Iβm planning to have a longer run tomorrow (7k) with the dog, so will be looking to have fun on Saturday ππ
Yes itβs very beautiful. I do feel lucky, I just have to delay a bit in the mornings at the moment so that I can see it!! π Iβm actually enjoying it being a bit nippy too! Wakes you up nicely!! πβ€οΈ
Good work, Fab! Thatβs a brilliant goal, to get out three times a week. I love running when itβs cold, but the dark mornings are starting to get to me, I must admit. Mostly because it seriously limits my route options, and I cannot run in my beloved woods (though I do get to treat myself to the woods and park on the weekend runs). Happy happy Fab! xxx
Thanks Sadie!! Iβm the same! I swear I canβt see a thing when itβs dark. π! Weekends are my favourite for running too! It sure does make January feel very different! I like it!! Happy running! β€οΈ
If I was you Iβd run Friday... only because thereβs no way youβll be at parkrun, in time, with charged devices and a parking space ππππ
π€£π€£π€£! Oh ye of little faith!! π Actually youβve got faith in abundance and of course youβre right, but you do know thatβs another incentive? Crafty!! π€π€β€οΈ
I have every faith that you will just go run and keep it up and be healthy and happy... thatβs who you are. My confidence youβll make parkrun with everything in order at the right time is pretty irrelevant compared to all the reasons we had to start running... so when the stars align and you do parkrun with a recorded time, thatβs just icing on the cake really. You probably hold the record for best parkrun screw up ever with an 11k run!
Well done! Youβre well and truly back on track! It will be lighter in the morning before you know it! I love it running when itβs a bit cold too as I soon warm up π π
Thanks so much!! Iβm going to give it my best shot! So far each run has really set me up for a good day!! Itβs so much better than reviewing a long list of to doβs in your head as soon as you wake up! Whatever it is, it can wait!! πππβ€οΈ
I've given myself s small annual target of 700km, which is 15km per week with a month off. I'm planning to make a chart where I can add the kms each run and see them add up. Maybe that will keep me on the straight and narrow. Maybe! I'm not good at winter running π
Iβve had the same thoughts about winter running (still do π€), but βmaybeβ is the right word! As just maybe we are!! Let us see together!! I remember I thought maybe I canβt for C25K, but slowly it turned to maybe I can, then.....right thatβs it, I bloody well can and I will! π
Thank you! π Itβs great to be feeling that sense of determination again!! I thought winter might have me beat but Iβm getting there by seeing it as a new adventure! β€οΈ
Well done Fabulous, back on the road again. Great respect to you all who are fitting running around work at this time of year. You are doing brilliantly. πββοΈππ
Thanks so much Dexy!! I agree, weβre all doing great! Iβm in awe of all those at earlier stages who started the programme in winter! ππ½ππ½ππ½β€οΈ
