Fabulous450 Popping in to say hi!! 👋🏽I’m a runner on pause, but I’m doing alright! ❤️

Hi Runners

Well it’s been a few weeks since I last went out and I’ve only been able to take a quick look at all your running adventures recently. And I know there has been some fabulous achievements. Apologies for not sending congratulations! You’re all amazing!! 🤩

I’ve just been through a very long ‘The Apprentice’ like recruitment process (4 stages, lasting over a month) and I’ve had to put everything into research and preparation. It’s been pretty exhausting 🥱. Unfortunately, I was pipped at the post to an internal candidate (some consolation, I guess 😕). Anyway, I’ve only gone and applied for another. Strike while the irons hot (ish)! 😂 So, I’m not sure how much running will occur just yet.

But....I have been doing short daily exercises at home to keep myself fit and ready for the road 🙌🏽. I’m definitely not stopping, it’s just that life is setting different priorities at the moment.

You know me...I could just say, ‘it’s time to go’ when I wake up one morning!! And I love that!! 🤩🤩🤩!

Until then...Big cheers to my VRB’s (making up for those I’ve missed😊) & of course...I’ll be back 😉!

Happy running Runners!! ❤️

Hey! Good to see you 😍 Wishing you success xxx

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to roseabi]

Hey Roseabi!! 👋🏽👋🏽! Good to see you too! 🤩 and thank you!! 🤗❤️

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10]

Wow Fab, even though you were pipped at the post, that’s some achievement making it to that stage of the interview process. They’re nuts, they should have picked you! 😅

As regards your running, you’re the ultimate come back kid, so taking a bit of time to do other life stuff isn’t going to affect your running when the time is right to return. We all look forward to reading your triumphant posts when you do! 👊

Good luck with the next interview! 😘

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Thanks so much Cheeky!! 🤗🤗 I’ll keep going! One thing running teaches you a lot about! 🤩❤️

[Sybilw Graduate10]

Shame about the first job Fab but look at how ahead of the curve you are when it comes to your new application. 🤞🏻 for that. I know that you’ll be back because it’s in your head now - you’re a runner! Glad that you touched base though as we all miss your cheery posts. 😆

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Sybilw]

Thanks so much Sybilw!! 🤗 Yessss! I applied for that job just two days after finding out it wasn’t me! 😦 And it was the last day before it closed too. Two days later, I was discussing availability for the 3 stages of this job! 🤯! So, a bit like running, if you’re able to find the courage to keep going, something will change eventually. 😁❤️

[Sybilw Graduate10 in reply to Fabulous450]

Yes, it’s #thisgirlcan. Good luck

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

Good luck with the current application 🤗

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

Thank you so much Grannyhugs!! So genuinely appreciated. 🤗🤗❤️

[Deals1 Graduate10]

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Deals1]

Aah...thanks so much Deals! 🤗🤗❤️

[Slinkymalinki Graduate10]

Good to hear from you! Sorry you missed out on the job but great to hear you're buoyed up for another new opportunity. Fingers crossed for you! Do whatever fitness feels right for you - sounds like you have a good routine. I've run very little but am concentrating on mental health and sleep and at the moment. Stay well... X

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Slinkymalinki]

Hey Slinkymalinki!! 👋🏽👋🏽! Yes, I’ve not had time to dwell! 😂 Thank you so much. Mental health and sleep is definitely a number 1 priority 🤝! Wishing you the same ❤️

[Bluebirdrunner Graduate10]

Good luck with everything you are doing Fabulous😊xxx

We know running is still there...waiting patiently.

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Bluebirdrunner]

Thank you so much Bluebirdrunner!! 🤗 They do say good things come to those that wait. 😂 😉❤️

[Berksrover Graduate10]

Good luck Fabulous450 and I hope you can get out there soon, you're infectious attitude is what we could all do with a spot more of.x

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Berksrover]

Oh thank you so much Berksrover! 🤗 Maybe I will be able to get out for a bit of celebratory, thank you run soon! That would be amazing! 😃🤩❤️

[ktsok]

🤞for your next interview Fab. Hard to beat internal candidates who are a known quantity. The running is here waiting, whenever you want it 😊

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to ktsok]

Hey ktsok!! 👋🏽👋🏽 Thank you so much. I have to be fair to them and say, they were very open to an external appointment. It’s not my door this time, but better that everyone is a happy match, so I wish them well. We find our spot eventually! Well, I’m really hoping so! 😉❤️

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate10]

Hi Fabulous450 ...it so good to hear from you, I know you've had a lot on lately with worki etc, sorry to hear you missed out on the post you were going for but, just like with your running, you've picked yourself up, dusted yourself down and gone on to apply for another...things happen for a reason don't they Fab??? Their loss that's what I say!!! Taking a break from your running is right for you at the moment, you have enough pressures of life withpout that on top...but I do know that once you see the window of opportunity you will be back out there, enjoying your runs again and hopefully sharing them with all of us. Until then though, I am sure I'm not the only one who will take you out with them, come rain or shine...and we all wish you the best of luck with your latest job application xx

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Mummycav]

Oh Mummycav, thank you so much! 🤗🤗 I have not got this one. It’s got somebody else’s name on it, but hopefully the next one will be different. I agree with you too, things happen for a reason. I shall keep on keeping on! 😉❤️

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate10 in reply to Fabulous450]

I know you will chick xxx

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10]

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to BaddieThePirate]
