7k 💛🙌

Happy Friday lovely running friends 🥳

Hope everyone is well & enjoying their running!?

I’ve been a little quiet on here lately... but I’ve still been getting out & keeping up the good work!

So, I thought I’d tell you about my run this morning, I was planning on 5k, but... brought home a 7k 😍 I absolutely love it that this can sometimes happen now... just because I can 🙃😝

It was a lovely run, the air feels a little warmer today... no wind & no ice! 🏃‍♀️🎉 Perfect conditions, so I thought I’d make the most of it! 🙌 I’m definitely feeling quite proud of myself now 🤩

I’m sure that I’ve been overthinking my runs a bit too much recently... but today, I just felt good, no pressure, just get out & enjoy it... & enjoy it I did 💛🤩

I’ve also got a couple of new running toys... I acquired my husbands old Garmin 🥳👌 ... which I absolutely love! Being a snail 🐌🏃‍♀️ I’ve 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! 😝

I also gave myself a treat & bought a flipbelt to carry my phone & key in... I love it! It’s so comfy & doesn’t budge! Also plenty of space to carry other stuff if needed... 🙌👌

So running wise, this year my goal is to run a half marathon... Leeds Half to be exact! I’m going to book it this weekend 😆🙌 I’ve also found a training plan that looks great! The half marathon is in May, so I’m going to start the plan on Monday & I’m keeping everything crossed it all goes well & I’ll be ready to run it in time! 😆🏃‍♀️🙌

Have a great weekend everyone! 🥳

Big loves, Dreams 🤩

Well done on your 7k Dreams. Aah! Flipbelts and Garmins both hot topics for me at the moment, am considering both. 🙂

Thanks lexi! 🙌

So far so good for me with both! I’d been eyeing up the flipbelts for some time, so pleased I’ve got one now! 🙌

The Garmin is amazing! Really easy to use & gives you all the info you need... & more! 🤩

Well Done on completing your 7k Dreams79. It sounds like you really enjoyed it too. There’ll be no stopping you now. 👏👏👏

[Hidden in reply to Dexy5]

Thanks Dexy! I really did love it today🤩

Hope you enjoyed your spa break!😊

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Wonderful- and I fitted my outside 4k in. I had to avoid iced up puddles though so it was probably the slowest overall time !

[Hidden in reply to Dexy5]

Amazing! Well done you! 💛🙌

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10]

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. 👊

It’s reading posts like yours that’s spurring me on to get back out running after a few days off to recharge the batteries. I can’t wait in fact! The power of our brilliant running community at work again. 😍

[Hidden in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Ah, Thank you Cheeky! 💛

Hope you’ve been enjoying your week & have had a great morning volunteering at parkrun🏃‍♀️🌳🏃‍♂️🙌

So pleased you are feeling ready to get back out & enjoy your running! This forum is such a positive place & I think we all bounce off each other!😍

Thank you so much for your kind words! 🤩

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Just got back from volunteering and I know I’m ready to start back now! Without the forum I’m not sure how far I’d have got with running in general. On here, a problem shared is a problem halved, and success shared is success doubled! Awesome! ❤️❤️

[Hidden in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Love this Cheeky! ❤️❤️

[O505k Graduate10]

Well done on the 7k. Best wishes with the HM training.

[Hidden in reply to O505k]

Thank you O5O5k 🙌

The HM training scares me a little...bit I’m excited for the challenge! 🤩

Happy running! 🙌

Sounds like such a lovely run... and flip belts??? Haven’t got one of those but no doubt will look for one straight after this in case it’s another running thing I can’t possibly live without. Also sneakily been looking at watches too.....

[Hidden in reply to Wimborne]

Hi Wimborne 😄

it really was a lovely run🙌

Ooh yes, check the flipbelts out... I love mine, I used to have an arm band, but the velcro was useless🙈 ... the belt is great & you can carry all sorts in it if you want to... I can also put my wire for my headphones up my top now... which is the best!🤩🙌

Ooh exciting stuff looking at watches! 😆 I must say... it’s a game changer!... Do you have your eye on one? 😍

[Wimborne in reply to Hidden]

Dreams you are not helping with my January ‘ try not to spend anything after Christmas’ plan. Flipbelts look great 👍. And it’s 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 don’t know if I want to know my heart rate ! 😆. 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.

[Hidden in reply to Wimborne]

Ha! Sorry 🙈

I honestly thought running would be a cheap sport to take up... How wrong was I?! 😂😅

Ooh new Runners & colourful leggings sound amazing! 😎🌈

Hope you receive some lovely birthday gifts! 🏃‍♀️🙌

[Hidden]

So good! 🔥 You sound so happy with your running Dreams! ...and 7K just because...! You should definitely feel proud of that 😁

Yes, very easy to overthink the runs, sometimes it’s 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! 👏👏👏 🙌

Keep posting your progress, trust that plan, we’ll be with you every step of the way to Leeds, can’t wait to see that bling in May!
