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. ๐Ÿค“

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 ๐ŸŽง I told her and just go out for a walk!! โ˜€๏ธ Start moving and your troubles move. It can be a slow start ๐ŸŒ , but you feel better every step you take ๐Ÿ‘Ÿ . Until, like magic ๐Ÿงš๐Ÿฝโ€โ™‚๏ธ , you feel a sense of relief...and oh what a feeling that is!! ๐Ÿฅฐ

I was so passionate about that, that it inspired me to get my own kit on and go!! ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ Not to the garden ๐Ÿก to challenge my new PB, but out on the road, social distancing running ๐Ÿ›ก. That was to be my adventure today. ๐Ÿ˜

It was only 12 minutes, I did less than 2k, but I felt the โ˜€๏ธ, the warm breeze ๐Ÿ’จ and I saw a couple of people to send a quick smile their way๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿฝ.

Iโ€™m grateful for every experience that running has given me๐Ÿ˜. I may not go far and I can only break my own records๐Ÿ˜Š, but this girl can run!! ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ

And thatโ€™s fabulous enough for Fabulous450!! ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿคฉ

Happy running runners!! โค๏ธ

I love your positivity and sense of gratitude Fabulous450 ๐Ÿ˜Š. 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 โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒท๐ŸŒณ & 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 ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ.

Stay safe ๐Ÿ˜Šโ™ฅ๏ธ

It helps so much, iโ€™m looking forward to walking to work just wish i didnโ€™t have to carry so much, laptop, files, change of clothes, lol

Fabulous450Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun

๐Ÿ˜‚ Yes, I know that feeling. Even though itโ€™s only a small laptop, with everything else to carry, it can feel like youโ€™re carrying half the house with you ๐Ÿคฃ. Walking is great exercise though. I changed to a rucksack to try to make it a little easier! ๐Ÿ˜โค๏ธ

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

So positive. Lovely. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ 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. ๐Ÿ˜ณ Can only go up, yes? ๐Ÿคฃ Still, as some kind person has said above, every run counts. And there were birds in the trees....

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 couldnโ€™t take away the runners high. Thank goodness for running. ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿฅฐ x
