Fabulous450 & The Late Evening Run! 🏃🏽‍♀️ ❤️

[Fabulous450]

Hey Runners!!

Back out on the run today!! I’m doing The Move for Mind Challenge, as it’s Mental Health Awareness Week. The theme for this year is kindness!! I like that. 🤩

I knew it would probably be draining to run with the heat during the day and there was likely to be a lot more people out and about enjoying the sunny day ☀️. As I didn’t get up and out early, I was going to go for a workout session on YouTube.

But as the evening drew in, there was a lovely light breeze in the air. And...that was my inspiration to go on out for a little run. I wasn’t out for long, but it was perfect timing! You really can’t beat running outdoors. A nice little breeze and a quiet park 🌲 🌳.

Happy running Runners!! ❤️

Sounds like a perfect evening run, the breeze must have been very welcome!! I think kindness is more appropriate than ever at the moment, so many people facing so many challenges and it's so important to be kind, both to yourself and others. I will keep that in mind when I go for my run tomorrow evening 😊

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Mum22boys]

Thanks Mum22boys!! It was a lovely run!! I reckon a run during the day would have been hard work!! 🥵 I decided to be kind to myself too! 😉❤️

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

Sounds like a perfect run for you. Very sensible waiting for the evening breeze. Happy running 🤗

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

Thanks Grannyhugs!! 🤗 Yes, I really enjoyed it!! 🤩❤️

[UnfitNoMore Graduate10]

Missed the alert... belated cheer sent! Great job.

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Thanks so much UNM!! 🤗 The late evening was a good move! ❤️

[UnfitNoMore Graduate10 in reply to Fabulous450]

I’m not capable of running this evening 🥃 🤣

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to UnfitNoMore]

😂! I can see you’re busy with other things!! ❤️

[UnfitNoMore Graduate10 in reply to Fabulous450]

A young Welsh blonde 🤣🤣

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Would her name be Penderyn? 🥃 😉❤️

[UnfitNoMore Graduate10 in reply to Fabulous450]

It is indeed... and the wife doesn’t mind as she enjoys time with her son, Merlyn, from time to time.

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Perfect!! 😂❤️

[SaskAlliecat Graduate10]

I'll take running outside any day, hence running outside all winter. It is so therapeutic. I don't find the same feeling running inside. I am so glad you got out for a nice evening run. That will help move the mind, for sure!

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to SaskAlliecat]

Thanks so much SaskAlliecat!! 🤗 It‘s just so great for clearing the mind! 🤩❤️

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10]

Ooooo that sounded fab Fab. 😍 Well done for getting out in the evening - something I’ve never done, and not likely to!

Brilliant! 😀👍❤️

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Thanks Cheeky!! 🤗 I’m not an evening runner either 😂, but I thought I’d give it a try as it was still so light and cool. I really enjoyed it. Though, I noticed it was a little harder for me to wind down for bed. ❤️

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10]

Well done. It was too hot yesterday, so a breeze would have been perfect.

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to BaddieThePirate]

Thanks so much BTP!! Yes, I definitely wasn’t inspired to go out during the hot hours!! I had sort of ruled it out for the day, so it was quite nice to get that urge later on! 😉❤️

[ch3lsea007]

Well done Red! You did it! Hope you keep the positive vibe going in your life! 🏃🏾‍♀️🏃🏻‍♂️☔️😘

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to ch3lsea007]

Thanks so much Blue!! 🤗 You know me...I’ll keep working on topping it up!! 🏃🏽‍♀️ 🏃🏼‍♂️ ☔️ 😉 ❤️

[Sybilw Graduate10]

Good for you getting out there for a good cause too. I’ve never tried running later on the day - it’s just a habit though. Glad you got out.

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Sybilw]

Hi Sybilw!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽👋🏽

I don’t usually run in the evening!! I’ve done it before, but because of following a plan and felt as though I’ve had to. I can go out carrying a tiny bit of tantrum about not being able to fit it in earlier too....it passes 😂. As I’m plan free and enjoy being rather unruly, I decided to go with the feeling yesterday! Off you go!! 🏃🏽‍♀️ Honestly, totally different experience!

Running when I feel like it really saves me from all kinds of frustration and I get out a lot more too! 😂 ❤️

[Sybilw Graduate10 in reply to Fabulous450]

Very freeing I’m sure. I’m trying to work up to a run that’s part of a group challenge organised by some of our Parkrunners. I’ve so far done a 1 hour challenge and two 5k runs but it’s all about being faster than last week 😲. It’s another 5k but I’ve seen the times logged by others and only one is anywhere near my time. Fastest I’ve seen just over 16 min! Why did I think this was a good plan?! They stress it’s about taking part but the ‘chat’ doesn’t feel like it. 😆 Comparison is the theft of joy as they say! Think I should withdraw gracefully from the group and go back to having fun!

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Sybilw]

Sybilw 🤗🤗🤗!! I’m definitely understanding about the challenges of comparisons.

Being in a group where there is overt or covert trying to be the best amongst the rest is something that you can feel. Thankfully, this is not one of them.

A flower doesn’t compete with another flower, it just blooms in its own unique way. We are all flowers! 💐 That’s the beauty of us all coming together!! You are your own prize flower🌹!! Bloom away Sybilw!I know what I would do. 🤗🤗❤️

[Sybilw Graduate10 in reply to Fabulous450]

I love how you express thing so well.

[Sybilw Graduate10]

Sorry to vent to you!! 🤣

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Sybilw]

🤗🤗!! No apologies necessary!! Do YOU Sybilw!! You’re amazing exactly as you are!! 😁❤️

[snailface]

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to snailface]

Thanks so much snailface!! 🤗🤗 ❤️

[Katnap Graduate10]

Definitely into morning or evening runs until I get used to the heat!

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Katnap]

Yes, I suppose you can used to the heat with practice, but I wouldn’t want my run feeling hard to get through, before I’ve started. 😂❤️
