Back to the road for Fabulous450!! 12 minutes is enough! 🏃🏽‍♀️ ❤️

[Fabulous450]

Hi Runners

Today, I was having a conversation with my niece (over the phone of course) and found myself speaking to her about the importance of movement. 🤓

How, when life seems to be solidifying you, you sometimes need to push beyond the feeling of being stuck and move.

Get your headphones on 🎧 I told her and just go out for a walk!! ☀️ Start moving and your troubles move. It can be a slow start 🐌 , but you feel better every step you take 👟 . Until, like magic 🧚🏽‍♂️ , you feel a sense of relief...and oh what a feeling that is!! 🥰

I was so passionate about that, that it inspired me to get my own kit on and go!! 🏃🏽‍♀️ Not to the garden 🏡 to challenge my new PB, but out on the road, social distancing running 🛡. That was to be my adventure today. 😁

It was only 12 minutes, I did less than 2k, but I felt the ☀️, the warm breeze 💨 and I saw a couple of people to send a quick smile their way😄👋🏽.

I’m grateful for every experience that running has given me😍. I may not go far and I can only break my own records😊, but this girl can run!! 🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️

And that’s fabulous enough for Fabulous450!! 🤩🤩

Happy running runners!! ❤️

Every run counts! Well done for getting out there 🏃🏃🏃🎉

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Katnap]

Thanks Katnap!! 🤩! Yes, I agree. Short and sweet, but complete! ✅❤️

Great advice Fabulous and great that you took it! It’s so easy to give advice to others - less east to accept it. Job done ✅✅

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Sybilw]

Thanks so much Sybilw!! 🤗 It’s funny how when you’re talking to someone, you’re talking to yourself too!! 😁❤️

I love your positivity and sense of gratitude Fabulous450 😊. It's great that you got out and appreciated this lovely sunshine & fresh air no matter how long, short, energetic or relaxing the run.

I've often not been in the right head space to run recently but have had the odd short bimble through the quiet woods & lanes, mostly about 3km. Like you said, I think I noticed even more than I usually do ☀️🌷🌳 & appreciated being able to run, no matter how little or slow.

Thanks for sharing your post. Even though I know better not to compare myself to others, I often feel everyone's out there doing long runs and I'm not. Sometimes we need reminders that whatever exercise you do is beneficial for your mind and body 😁🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️.

Stay safe 😊♥️

Oh thanks so much Slinkymalinki!! 🤗 I agree, every single run is a success, just because you’ve got out there and done your thing, your way!! It’s a run!! 🤩🤩❤️

[Jazzyrunner Graduate10]

Fabulous! Well done Fab450 and so true, all you say. It does feel like an adventure now, doesn’t it?!

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Jazzyrunner]

Thanks so much Jazzyrunner!! 🤗 Absolutely!! We never stop experiencing new things on this running journey! 😁😁❤️

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate]

So good you got out, keep well and keep taking your advice

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Thanks so much WillowandSola!! 🤗 I’ll keep going somehow!! There’s nothing quite like running to clear your mind and come back feeling uplifted!! Doesn’t have to be long, just go with the flow!! 🤩❤️

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Fabulous450]

It helps so much, i’m looking forward to walking to work just wish i didn’t have to carry so much, laptop, files, change of clothes, lol

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

😂 Yes, I know that feeling. Even though it’s only a small laptop, with everything else to carry, it can feel like you’re carrying half the house with you 🤣. Walking is great exercise though. I changed to a rucksack to try to make it a little easier! 😁❤️

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Fabulous450]

I might do that although my bag goes across my body so fairly well distributed

[Granspeed Graduate10]

So positive. Lovely. 👏🏼 But I have to say, I might be the winner on shortness of runs - 1.17k around the local hospital grounds while waiting for Mr GS to have blood test was my one run this past week. 😳 Can only go up, yes? 🤣 Still, as some kind person has said above, every run counts. And there were birds in the trees....

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Granspeed]

Thanks so much!! 🤗 Absolutely every run counts. Whatever the distance, It’s no more and no less than it needs to be. We did it!! ✅🤩🤩❤️

[lexi6 Graduate10]

You did it again with that lovely, happy post Fab thank you. Took the free advice and went off for a run this morning with no thoughts of time or distance. Even the half hour queue to get into the supermarket afterwards couldn’t take away the runners high. Thank goodness for running. 😊🥰 x

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to lexi6]

Absolutely!! 🤩🤩🤗 We run and it shines a brighter light on everything!! 🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏼‍♂️☀️❤️ Xx

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

Absolutely fabulous. I’m glad you are still getting out there. 🏃🏽‍♀️👏👏

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

Thank you Dexy5!! 🤗! I was reaping the benefits of sharing what this running thing can do for you. 😉❤️

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10]

Well done on getting out there. Difficult to find the umph sometimes, but you motivated yourself. Hope itotivated your niece too.

[Fabulous450 Graduate10]

Thanks BTP! 🤗🤗 Yes, I agree!! The bounce and energy is challenged quite a bit. A tick ✅ in the mind feels every bit as good as a PB to me right now. ❤️
