Thank you JaoJao, Dexy5 and Realfoodieclub for posting about this, I’ve been having a few head struggles of late and not running often enough. I thought pledging 5k would get me out there and it did, ran almost 6k today, it felt wonderful and I was reminded how much I love being part of this team. ❤️ 🙏🏻

Have fun BBr and hope your weather is kinder. Very “invigorating” here now with gale force winds and rain. Xx

Back from my run lexi...not quite as far as you😊...I planned on running 4k, felt comfortable and made it to 5k👍

The weather looked grey, but was actually warm, I wore my running cap!

Have you seen the Run to the Moon challenge on Strava. Its to celebrate 50 years since Apollo 11 and is run 50 miles in 50 days....it started on 1st June and finishes on 20th July...in case you are interested 😆😊xx

I haven’t run any distance over 5k for a while now so it felt good yesterday and 5k is such a lovely distance isn’t it Bbr? I looked at the Race to the Moon challenge, had a read and thought it looked like a fun incentive to get out there regularly again and without realising I have joined - 😂 first miles on the clock! Upwards and onwards. Thank you 👍 xx

Aaw! Thanks Sadie-runs and happy GRD to you too. Sometimes it all feels very hard, but how lucky I am that I’m able to run and glad afterwards that I made the effort. Probably need to be kinder to myself. Xx

Oh we could always use being kinder to ourselves. 😘 A good rule to have is, if a good friend came to you with the same issue, what would You say to her? Then say that to yourself. xxx

Thanks Deals, struggles seem to coincide with sad anniversaries at this time of the year for me and the onset of winter.

Great to see you got out there lexi6. Sometimes a little reason like that can give you a kick start. I was chuffed to get a badge from mr garmin too. 🏃‍♀️👏👏🏅

It was a great incentive Dexy, even though I was running 11 hours in front of you all, it felt like I was running with VBR’s. Love those badges on my garmin too, still finding out what it does, but what a clever watch. 🥰

Just been doing some catch up with some posts and saw your reply to Mummycav, sorry you haven’t been running Wimborne, hope you’re OK?

Ah thank you Lexi. I am catching up too. I hit the pause button after a fall which landed me in a walking boot and crutches nearly 5 weeks ago. But very excited as today I can just about walk on it a little 🥳🥳🥳. I have a slow and long way to go but today is the best day I’ve had so I’m taking that. Off to see physio in a few weeks too. So no running adventures but one determined runner coming back stronger at some point fingers crossed. 🤞

Oh Blimey! Wimborne 🙁 I’m so sorry. As Oldfloss says the runs will be waiting. Just know you’ll be back stronger. 👍
