Iβve been a little quiet on here lately... but Iβve still been getting out & keeping up the good work!
So, I thought Iβd tell you about my run this morning, I was planning on 5k, but... brought home a 7k π I absolutely love it that this can sometimes happen now... just because I can ππ
Iβve also got a couple of new running toys... I acquired my husbands old Garmin π₯³π ... which I absolutely love! Being a snail ππββοΈ Iβve never really been one for being too bothered or keeping track of times & pace etc... but I have a feeling this could get me slightly obsessed with all that jazz! π
I also gave myself a treat & bought a flipbelt to carry my phone & key in... I love it! Itβs so comfy & doesnβt budge! Also plenty of space to carry other stuff if needed... ππ
So running wise, this year my goal is to run a half marathon... Leeds Half to be exact! Iβm going to book it this weekend ππ Iβve also found a training plan that looks great! The half marathon is in May, so Iβm going to start the plan on Monday & Iβm keeping everything crossed it all goes well & Iβll be ready to run it in time! ππββοΈπ
Woohoo that sounded like a fabulous bonus 7k Dreams, well done! And as for wearing a Garmin and flip belt along with entering a HM? Kudos. Proper runner. π
Itβs reading posts like yours thatβs spurring me on to get back out running after a few days off to recharge the batteries. I canβt wait in fact! The power of our brilliant running community at work again. π
Just got back from volunteering and I know Iβm ready to start back now! Without the forum Iβm not sure how far Iβd have got with running in general. On here, a problem shared is a problem halved, and success shared is success doubled! Awesome! β€οΈβ€οΈ
Sounds like such a lovely run... and flip belts??? Havenβt got one of those but no doubt will look for one straight after this in case itβs another running thing I canβt possibly live without. Also sneakily been looking at watches too.....
Dreams you are not helping with my January β try not to spend anything after Christmasβ plan. Flipbelts look great π. And itβs payday soon so might just treat myself. Had a look at a Garmin 235 I think. Trying to work out if I really need one though. I take my phone and use Runkeeper so do I really need a watch too? I donβt know if I want to know my heart rate ! π. I am heading towards my birthday early March but have my eye on another gait analysis , new runners and perhaps a few pairs of very colourful leggings.
I honestly thought running would be a cheap sport to take up... How wrong was I?! ππ
Ooh new Runners & colourful leggings sound amazing! ππ
Hope you receive some lovely birthday gifts! πββοΈπ
So good! π₯ You sound so happy with your running Dreams! ...and 7K just because...! You should definitely feel proud of that π
Yes, very easy to overthink the runs, sometimes itβs just a case of getting out the door and letting your body decide what you want to go for, you were obviously feeling awesome yesterday! πππ π
Keep posting your progress, trust that plan, weβll be with you every step of the way to Leeds, canβt wait to see that bling in May!
