January Quest, W2R3 complete!! It’s time for the coffee run reward!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽❤️

Hi Runners

I kept to my running quest and I’m super pleased right now!! I did the 3rd run of my January Quest W2 yesterday morning. I left out at 6:45am, a bit dark, but doable. I decided to be adventurous and tried putting my head torch on my waist! Result:🥴! Not any worse, but nothing to shout about. I’m not sure if this torch thing is working for me.

Anyway........let’s get to the good bits! It took 27 minutes to get there. I realised I’ve taken 1 minute off my time, so that’s good news. And my coffee run reward card is complete!! Free cup next time! Nice!! And the walk back was enjoyable too! Great way to start a morning! I’m off for a walk this morning too. I’m going to see if that helps to keep me in a routine!

Here’s to the January Quest - Week 3, watch out! I’m coming for ya!!

Onwards and upwards runners!! 🤔 ❤️

Well done! The things we do for a cuppa 🙄😂

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Irishprincess]

I know!! 😂😂 It gives me a good run with a destination in mind a great reward!! Perfect! ❤️

[Equi-geek Graduate10]

Well done Fabulous! That's a great idea for run motivation - might have to start looking for a good coffee shop that I can walk home from too XX

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Equi-geek]

Thanks!! 🤩 Yes it works really well Equi!! I enjoy the walk back and that hopefully helps to build up some stamina. ❤️

Congratulations on improving your time 😸 It always gives you a buzz when you can 'see' times come down.

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Katnap]

Thank you! Yes that was a lovely little surprise! I tend not to think about time too much, but it’s nice to see its improved even if you don’t realise that while you’re running.

[Katnap Graduate10 in reply to Fabulous450]

I did a 10k last night with no attempt to go quick. Just satisfied that I could do it.

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Katnap]

You’re a star Katnap!! Go you!! 🤩🤩❤️

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10]

Yay! Well done for getting out there in the cold and dark👍

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to BaddieThePirate]

Thanks BTP! I’m good to go, just the rain to tackle now I think. But I’m in no rush!! 😂❤️

[Bridget007]

Well done and a free coffee ☕️ too 😋

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Bridget007]

Thanks Bridget!! 😁 I love a morning coffee and it feels great when you get there! The time just flies! ❤️

[SaskAlliecat Graduate10]

What a great reward system! Love it. Way to make running fit with your schedule...and have that carrot (or should I say coffee) dangling for encouragement 😁

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to SaskAlliecat]

Thanks SaskAlliecat!! It was just an idea to have a bit of fun, but it’s working out really well. I enjoy the walk back too!! ❤️

[Crawlhome Graduate10]

Great work Fabulous, and a minute off your time is brilliant! 😁 Enjoy the free coffee.

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Crawlhome]

Thanks Crawlhome! 😁 Maybe the darkness made me step it up a bit!! 😂! I’m getting used to it! But still so looking forward to spring!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽❤️

[Richard7 Graduate10]

Well done Fab - love the carrot/stick/reward. Good luck with week 3 👍👍

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Richard7]

Thanks Richard!! 😁 It inspires me to get out that’s for sure!! ❤️

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10]

Brill Fab! I’ve yet to run in the dark as there’s no pavement outside our house, and all my regular park routes would be 😱😱😱

I love your coffee rewards, and the freebie next time will be well deserved! Good for you Fab! 👏👏👏

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

I know what you mean Cheeky! I really love the parks. But luckily we do have pavements, so it’s ok to embrace the darkness (well...maybe not quite embrace, but I’m trying all sorts to trick my brain here!! 🤣)! ❤️
