Fabulous450 Not Allowing The Slippery Sloap! Ruuuuunnnn! 🏃🏽‍♀️ ❤️

Hi Runners

I’m not sure if my App has lost some runs and it matters not. 🤷🏽‍♀️ But it looks like I haven’t been out since 4 February! 🤪.

So...up...ready...dressed and 15 minutes planned. That’s enough!

The rain was beating down this morning, with an accompanying wind. Parkrun was a fleeting thought. I didn’t fancy the drive over there. But I did fancy a run 🤩.

I find that it takes me a while to get my breathing to settle down. That does ‘nark’ me a bit, it didn’t used to happen. I think I need to stop being lazy and add that 5 minute walk beforehand ☺️. It’s been a bit of mental psychology to just go out the door and start running with a very slow jog and build up. Especially as the weather hasn’t been that great!

Anyway it’s done!!! ✅ and I’m still in the zone! Will try to walk first next time. 😂

Just checked and actually it’s been 7 days since my last run. You have to rate them before it shows up in certain areas. Phew! 🤩 Not too bad and it got me out there!

Happy running Runners! ❤️

Well done Fab! I know what you mean about the 5 minute warm up. I barely do 30 seconds these days, telling myself a very slow pace is the same (🤫). I think the cold doesn’t help; I don’t want to wear loads of clothes but need to get going so I don’t freeze!

Thanks so much! 🤗 I make myself go and wait for the body and brain to catch up. 😂! The element of surprise! 😉❤️

Well done. It takes some hardcore motivation to get out in this weather 👍👏💥

Thanks BTP! 🤗 I just try not to think and once the door is shut I just think I may aswell, then I get into it. 😂❤️

I totally agree about the warmup walk Fab. It’s so dull, and I’m impatient to get running. That’s the plus side of taking my 🐕 along - she forces me to walk until she does her business! She knows I don’t like stopping once I’ve started running! 😅

Good for you getting out this morning. 👊 It’s hard when the weather is like this. I checked the forecast and plumped for a different PR to usual as there was 💨 and 💦 forecast at Eastville. I made the right choice - just 💨💨💨 at Burnham, but I stayed dry.

You’re made of tough stuff. Keep at it! And when you fancy company at PR one day, let me know and I’ll come for some tourism. I love it! ❤️

Thanks so much Cheeky!! 🤗🤗! I’ve not been to PR for a long time, but as the weather gets better I’m sure it will be back on the radar!! Well done you!! 😄❤️

It can be really hard getting in the right headspace to get out and run but in wind and rain thats extra gutsy Fab. 👍 😊

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to lexi6]

Thanks Lexi🤗🤗! I wasn’t out for long, but it was good for me to just go out in it. ❤️

Great that you got out, that’s the hard part once you are out it’s just a case of one foot in front of the other

Thanks so much WillowandSola!! 🤗 Yes, I just accelerate through the door and start slow. It comes together. 😂❤️
