Hi Runners

Let me start with a truth.....even when you commit to yourself, it’s hard to prioritise that and it’s the easiest thing to drop in the list of “things to do”. Let’s face it...it takes time and brain matter to come up with the daily list that runs through your head first thing in the morning 🧠🤔😬🥴! By the time the run through is done, I already feel like I’ve run a marathon sometimes 😂. Or is that just me? 😵

But, knowing that I want to get back to having more genuine “me time” and having the uplift from having the time and space to be unavailable to everything and everyone. I checked the weather app to see when sunrise was going to be (that was a first for me and a good tactic 🤓, as I don’t like running in the dark ☺️) and I got ready to go.

It’s only 7:30....out I go and traffic is very busy. It reminded me of W1R3, my first outdoor running experience. It took me a while to settle into the run and after a while trying to channel that Triathlon athlete that should be wearing the free T-shirt that I got on Saturday, but not quite working, I veered off to run around the little park nearby. I probably should have put it on 😂. I decided to run on my own, without spectators. 👀

Running the longer distance around the surrounding field, I reminded myself why I started running and how far I have come since. That kept my feet moving, slowly, but surely. 🐌 🐌! The music was definitely going faster than I was going to be, but fast wasn’t the aim. It was staying the course. 30 minutes, not 10 or 15 today. I totally think that 10 or 15 mins is perfectly ok by the way, but not until I’m back in the swing. Prioritising that 30 minutes for me.

So today, I’ve done it ✅ It’s about more than just running and I’m on it! 💪🏽 Hope you all are too!!

Happy running Runners!! 🤩❤️

And she’s back! Yay! 30 minutes is a good chunk of time as you know, and you did it. I’m so happy for you Fabby! 😀❤️

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Thanks so much Cheeky!! I figured if I start varying, it’s a bit of a slippery slope. For now I’ll go with 30! 😁❤️

30 minutes out with no cares about speed, sounds like a perfect run. ⭐️ 🙂

Thanks UNM!! 🤗🤗 I’ve had a really good day and I think that’s thanks to going out! I’ve completed a few things after that start And I feel a renewed positive energy too. 😁❤️

[backintime Graduate10]

You are so right...that chunk of time is precious and looking after ourselves helps us do the other stuff.

Well done for getting out there

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to backintime]

Thanks so much backintime. 🤗 It really has made my day so much more productive! It’s only 5:30 and I feel like I’ve done all I need to for today. That’s rare! And I’m loving it! 😁❤️

[Katnap Graduate10]

Make it a new habit and it won't be a problem anymore! 👍😁👍

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Katnap]

Thanks Katnap!! 🤗 Sunrise check and out I go!! Rain or shine. Might take a bit of push at first, but it’s the programme I have in mind. ❤️

[Granspeed Graduate10]

I can really identify with that “easiest thing to drop off the list” element! And of course I always tell others not to drop that one or the whole list will collapse. 😳 So well done, you, for getting your priorities in order and figuring it out for you. So much harder to do than to say. Ever onwards! 👏🏼

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Granspeed]

Thanks Granspeed!! 🤗🤗 It does have to be the number 1 on the list in permanent ink! It’s made my day feel so much more productive all around. 😁❤️

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate]

Well done for getting out there, here the sunrise was blazing hope you saw some colour in the sky

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Thanks so much WillowandSola!! 🤗 Rain started here before sunrise this morning, but I was prepared to get wet. It has to be an all weather plan as our dry and sunny days will be fewer now. I was a bit put off by the winter weather last year. This year I’m taking it on!! 😁💪🏽❤️
