I was just showering and thinking about what running has taught me (TMI..sorry! 😂)!! It’s been a couple of weeks since my last run. It wasn’t a long run and it wasn’t a fast run! It was ‘just a run’ with my son. The sun was shining and I thought it would do us both good.
He’s a little faster than me (🤥😊...ok lots) and I could sense his holding back, so I told him to stretch his legs, while I bumble along!
I got back home after just 2.5k and he went on for another round at his normal pace....💨 compared to mine.
It was pretty hard going for me today actually...but still I went and I didn’t give up! I miss the fired up runner in me, but right now...that’s enough!!
Happy running Runners!! Keep going whenever and however you can. Stay safe! ❤️

Enough is always enough Fab! I was named in the ‘run donate challenge’ so did that this morning. Still a plodder but still out there! Happy running but keep safe
Ah WillowandSola!! I can’t forget my VRBs!! I try to keep up and pop in, but it’s not as much as I would like. I hope you’re all running happy!! Lovely to know you’re all doing great too!! ❤️
The brilliant thing is that you went out and also with your boy. 'Just a run' has hundreds of previous experiences built into it which you have worked so hard for. Keep enjoying every moment it gifts us.
Yaaay!! You’re so right. 🤗 It’s our first just run, run together. I’ve always used running as me time, apart from a charity run we did together a couple of years ago!! So it was really nice to go out together and support each other to just go for it! 🤩❤️
Thanks so much CatMo13! 🤗 It did feel nice to go together. We’ve been doing other fitness stuff together too. I probably need it more, but it would be nice if we can just have a little run together every other day. Hope your running is going well! Stay safe! ❤️
Aah thanks so much Grannyhugs!! 🤗 Yes, I agree. There’s a different kind of psychology going on at the moment. So, it’s nice to have been able to go together and just go for it!! ❤️
Well done Fabulous! Makes sense to do a few k's when you haven't run much for a while. Just add some regular structure and you'll soon get that fitness back!
Thanks so much Katnap!! 🤗 Yes I think any more and it would have felt like a slog! That really wasn’t the aim! It was about getting out in the sunshine for a little while. Job done! ✅❤️
How lovely to run together. I ran with my husband for the first time a few weeks ago for my first consolidation run and I loved it. It’s inspired him to run more regularly again and he’s now working himself back up to 10k, meanwhile I’m resting shin splints. Hey-ho 🙄. I’ll get out again when I can. Happy running 😊
You said it yourself there Fabulous450 ...you went and that’s the main thing...sometimes we just don’t feel it, like me yesterday, but I went and I actually had a great run so if you don’t always feel like it you should still go because you can only feel better for it 😉 well done Fab, you are always inspiring with your posts x
Thanks so much Mummycav!! 🤗 Once you’re out you never quite know exactly how it’s going to go, but you’re right, just get out there and see works wonders!! Happy running to you too! 🤩❤️
It's hard keeping up with flamingo sons isn't it?! But we're getting out and that's what matters. I'm only doing 3km ish runs as I've been mainly going out with my flamingo (now on week 5 of C25K) but that's plenty for me at the moment.
I think you're doing just great! 👍
Do what you can, when you can and always be kind yourself. 😊
Thank you so much Slinkymalinki!! 🤗 I did tell my son about the stamina that comes with running my way!! 😂! I’m not sure he’ll take it on board though! 🤣🤣!
He also wanted us to decide the route before we left! 🥴 Eh?....My route is wherever my feet take me. Run free for fun! 😂
Yeah my mojo’s gone off without me somewhere and now got swollen knee so no chance for a while just finding sitting down stuff to do like knitting ear savers for the NHS and writing out songs for choir tonight. Lots to be thankful for though.
Thanks so much snailface. Sorry to hear about the swollen knee🤗. You’re doing some brilliant stuff though. 💓 I imagine each one you finish knitting & the choir singing together is an uplift. That’s so lovely to hear. 🤩🤗❤️
