Today was Day 3 of my 10k Garmin plan and a repeat of the last cadence and acceleration-glider drills.
I know why they call them ‘drills’. Garmin can be a right Sergeant Major (it’s my new name for him ....when he’s not looking 🤫). Every so often he just checks in to tell me to 🗣 ‘move!’ and I get up and dance, jump, pace up and down until he gives me the all ‘clear’! 🙄 Better not try that when I’m in company! 😊
It used to make me jump a little, but now I kind of look forward to it! 😏 I’m ready for yah “Sergeant Major Garmin”!! 😝 It’s worth it. I have met my step count goals for the past two days now! 😉 I didn’t create the goal mind! He gave it to me. 🤨...🤔...🤐!
I decided to add a little HIIT into my daily morning routine. The HIIT is only 5 minutes, so very doable. There’s nothing more encouraging to get you outdoors for a cool down 😂. It doubles as the warm up walk on run days too 🤓.
Today my coach Jeff and I were in flow 🤝😇😁! I was able to get easy instructions to follow 🍀🤩. No frantic button pressing dilemmas. I did so well with the buttons that he’s given me the day off tomorrow! 🤣 Thanks Jeff! 😊
So that’s me all up to date and moving on up to JOG, slow 🐌, but sure ✅ ! I’d rather Sergeant Major Garmin than The Gremlins!
Happy running Runners!❤️

This is just it, it's all progress and it's all moving forward ✅ you are keeping up with this after the success of your August challenge so great credit. Whatever works for you, works for you. There is no right way really, just your unique way which is lovely to watch unfold. Enjoy your rest day with all the positivity you've earned so far. You're moving this bandwagon on 👏👏👏
Thanks so much GTFC!! 🤗 It’s an exciting adventure that’s for sure. I’m still waiting for the body to catch up a bit, but I’m getting there and I’m absolutely loving it. 😁❤️
You sound so happy Fab. You and the Sarge will be mates before long and you’ll be super fit to boot! Imagine how uber fit you’ll be if he accompanies you all the way to JOG! 😱💥❤️
(And have seen how far ahead the leader is now? How???? 🤣)
Thanks so much Cheeky!! 🤗 I am very happy indeed. There’s no pressure, I’m just taking it one day at a time!
Our LEJOG leader however....well...he’s definitely in matrix/terminator/demolition/superman...etc, etc mode. Phenomenal!! 😱😱 He will probably be on LEJOG 10 by the time I finish. 😂
I know the Sarge likes me really 🤫. He keeps checking up on me. 😂😂!
You’ll soon have Mr Sergeant Major Garmin eating out of your hands... (I assume he is on them already?) He’ll soon ask you for permission to tell you to jump! 🤣🤣🤣
Brilliant post Fabulous450 and you're right better to have a positive if not a bit bossy voice in your ear than the alternative. Hope you're enjoying your new watch and the LEJOG challenge. 😊😊
Thanks so much Sybilw! 🤗 I have to admit that this plan is not a very hard push, but it’s doable and gradually increasing, so that’s why it’s working well for me. I’m still not light of foot 😂!! I guess it takes a bit of time to shift back into gear, but the excitement is all the way up!! I’m happy with that. Practice in patience!! 😉❤️
What a buzzing, happy-emoji strewn post! You sound like you have got the measure of this training regime! Well done Fabulous 🤩! Day off tomorrow to recharge your batteries😊
Thanks so much Delly-dot!!🤗 I haven’t done a long run yet, so hopefully that will go well too. I’m just letting things unfold the good old C25K way! I was a very happy runner then too! 😁 LEJOG and Mr Garmin have certainly caught me by surprise. It’s a great feeling! And I’ve got much improvement and achievements to go! 😂😁❤️
Thanks so much Mum22boys!! 🤗 Nothing like a bit of self-entertainment!! 😂
Since I started this running journey, lightheartedness has been my approach. I didn’t want to run a marathon, I just wanted to say I’m a runner! That was the only mission. How far or how fast, I’m not bothered. I’m just pumped that ‘I’...I repeat.....‘I run’ 😳!! I still laugh due to the sheer magic of being able to say it. Two years on and it’s not perfect, but it’s fabulous indeed 😉. ❤️
Ah but there is magic in dreams! So, my cheerleading offer stands in waiting! And I’m sure UnfitNoMore will continue to be an inspiration to us all. 😁🤗❤️
Going to set the schedule in stone around Christmas... I’d love to do Loch Ness, and also have my eye on Firelighter (day one of ring of fire) for next autumn... if I can do them both that would be wonderful. Hopefully I’ll see you on that start line... or at the nearest bar to the finish line 🤣
Oh thanks so much Beachcomber66! 🤗 Can you tell, I’m loving it? 🤣🤣 Jeff isn’t convinced, but I’m working on him and Sergeant G isn’t interested in any rest, he says it’s slacking, so I’ll just do as I’m told...(for now! 🤭😂)!
I’ve no big ideas or expectations Beachcomber66 🤫, I’m just going with the flow!🤗😁❤️
Nice to see RSM Garmin is kicking your butt 🤣. HIIT MORNINGS, HIIT run sessions... you’re gonna be glad to see the starry lines of those longer easy runs!!
Better than being Major Incident I guess... that’s what little miss gets called sometime, when she enters the kitchen there’s usually the sound of things hitting the floor soon afterwards... still, what she keeps in the pan and gets onto a plate is pretty good.
