Fabulous450 Slays the Gremlins, Ups the Tempo and Dodges the Rain! 😁❤️

[Fabulous450]

Hi Runners!

I woke up this morning in contemplation. Contemplating over various things in the past and in the future, what a complete waste of time and energy. 😂 Maybe I’m the only one to do that in the mornings and it narks me so much. 🥴!

I had a running time planned with my VRB UnfitNoMore and beg forgiveness 🙏🏽. He certainly doesn’t need me to run, but it’s his way of encouraging a flagging runner. Thank you! 🤗

So....I decide flicking through my phone isn’t going to distract me from the invite to the secret gremlin party that was out in the air either. 👀 😧! I have a feeling that if I don’t go now, I won’t.

So it’s time to launch a rocket 🚀 ! Get up, get your kit on and get out! Kit on and a momentary pause as I realise you can see my bright pink sports bralet 👙under my white long sleeve over top! Do a 180 in the mirror and decide, so what! It’s fine! 🤷🏽‍♀️ And for almost 50, you’re doing alright girl! 😉

Out I go and it’s not the time for a sedentary meditative music run. Get the tempo music on! 🎧 🎵 🎶 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽! I run with the traffic on purpose, no quiet park for me today. I’m absorbed in all of the movement around me. Paying attention to life just flowing and going with the flow. Everyone just going about their business and me doing my part of going about my business, right there with them. 🤩🤩😁!

Then my VRB fellow graduation day buddy Chelsea007 🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏼‍♂️☔️ chimes in with a cheer through the app too! You absolute star!! 😍 My run is strong and upright! I’m doing it! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

I finish my run and have a few minutes to walk back. I even enjoy that today 😁. Back to what I’ve learned, I keep up a good walking pace. That will strengthen me to go longer later, I tell myself. 🤓

I’m home in time to give my son a lift to school. A few minutes sat dripping (what a feeling, you know that’s a good run!!😁)! Proud I did it! Now, that’s the first time I’ve felt that running high in a long while! So grateful for that experience. Nothing particularly amazing about the distance or pace, but from where I have been pushing through it is so amazing! I am learning a lot about what’s important to me too!

Happy running Runners and thanks for the eternal boosts! ❤️

Great job as usual! We need a heads up for your birthday date so we can all run with you that day. 🙌🏻

[Sybilw Graduate10 in reply to Fabulous450]

50 is the new 40 - especially since you’re now a runner! 😆

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Sybilw]

Yes!!....and yesterday due to running 50 felt like it’s going to be the new 30! 😂! I’m starting to get back that feeling of looking forward to going back out there. You can rekindle a dim flame. 🔥 🔥 ❤️

Sounds like you've got the bug back 😊👍

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Crawlhome]

Thank you!! 🤗 Could have gone either way today, but it went the right way!! 😁❤️

[UnfitNoMore Graduate10]

You could have come joined me on my second run today 🤣. Just had to bolt two together as my plan stole my long run.

Great that you’re out there regularly again... there’s always another day to run together.

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Thank you UNM!! I was still basking in excitement while you were on your second run! 😯🤩! I’m going to keep going out there aiming for fun and seeing how it goes. 👌🏽❤️

[Bridget007]

Well done Fab 😃😃 there’s nothing like dripping with that running high makes you feel on top of the world ... I love that feeling 😃😅😅
