I’m sooooo excited! 🙌🏽🙌🏽 I could only see 100 miles on the LEJOG4 map as my first goal, but I had heard that you get a postcard at 50 miles. I got my first LEJOG postcard to share with you yesterday after an amazing run in the woods! 🌳🌲🏃🏽♀️🧚🏽♀️
This week has been great 🤩! I have visited Castle Rocks, village halls and a golf & ski centre as I continued on my virtual tour and continued running and singing with ‘The Commitments’ too 🎤 🎵 🎶! I’m getting there....or at least....I’m moving on up! 🇬🇧😉
Sgt Garmin has been a task master! 💂🏽♂️🤨🗣, but he’s got me meeting so many goals now. 🤫... We won’t talk about the fact that he set them...not me 😶 and 💂🏽♂️🗣👉 he keeps increasing them too...😬! 🤣🤣 I still kind of like him...A LOT though 🥰. Just don’t tell him that 🤫.
I’m enjoying my 10k plan with Jeff Galloway too. I didn’t do the “Jeffing” yesterday because I was enjoying myself so much in the woods🌲🌳, but after reading his 3 minute training for the 10k advice 📖, I am going to “run/walk/run” as recommended and maybe I’ll even get a better time on the final 10k run 🤷🏽♀️. So...much against my normal ‘do as you please’ approach 😳😂, I shall try to reign myself in! (💂🏽♂️🤨👈🏻 “Good luck with that one”!....😂😂...”Oh Sarge, ye of little faith”!)...I can do it! 😬
I have moved up the LEJOG 🇬🇧 positions into the 500’s 😲😲!! Maybe not for long, but it’s nice all the same. I was in the 700’s last week. And let me openly declare that I’m unashamedly counting my total steps, converted into miles automatically by Sarge 💂🏽♂️🔢...not just runs. It’s allowed and having fun, getting as close as I can is good enough for me.
There’s no chance of seeing even the back of the leader at any point, unless he’s lapping me while on LEJOG 6 that is! So I don’t reckon he’ll be angry at me 🤣🤣. Besides...🤷🏽♀️ there has to be some reward for springing into action every time Sgt Garmin says 💂🏽♂️🗣 ‘MOVE’! 😱..🤦🏽♀️..🙄..💃🏼🤸🏾♀️🏋🏽♀️👯♂️💃🏼...🤣🤣 I’m a bit curious as to what I’ll do when I’m in company!! I could end up acting like Pavlov’s dog...😯🥴! At least my boys know what’s coming when they hear it now! 🙄😂😂!
It’s been a great week and I’m loving it 🥰. Long may it continue! Oh yeah...🤔...that wish is already granted! 🧚🏽♀️😉
Happy running Runners!! ❤️

WOW Fabulous! You are just fizzing and buzzing and Sgt Garmin 💂🏼should be very proud of his new recruit! You go girl!
Thanks so much Delly-dot!! 🤗 I’m loving reading about your LEJOG journey too!! 🤩 I think somewhere by the sea will definitely be my next holiday destination! 🥰
Ah thanks so much WillowandSola!! 🤗 I am truly honoured to be thought of as a friend. 🥰
I have to declare that ‘The Commitments’ are my own virtual band and the songs are written by me. They represent the decisions I’ve made to join LEJOG, commit to a new 10k plan and to regular exercise and overall wellbeing. But...🤔 I do think there is a real band called The Commitments. I had better be careful of any copyrights 🤣🤣! 😁❤️
Great progress there! I’ve got my postcard too but can I ask about the photos? I’m not sure I’m using the site properly as I’ve not got any views like that. Just a little pin dropped on the A30!
Crikey Fab450, I can’t keep up with you! I did 9k on the magic plan this morning and I’m ‘dunfer’. But pretty pleased as well as it was 4 minutes faster than the first time I did it in April so that’s OK. You’re cracking on through my home county of Cornwall, enjoy that virtual scenery if Sgt Garmin will let you! He’s a real task master isn’t he?! Happy running !
Ah thanks so much Oldgirlruns!! 🤗 4 minutes faster! 😱💥💥💥 Go you!! 🤩 That’s brilliant!
I would NEVER had planned to do it that way! 😂😂 And I feel fantastic today too 🤪. Not a twinge or an ache anywhere. I have definitely found that it’s best for me to just go with curiosity and ‘we’ll see what happens today’ each day I go out. Sometimes, every so often these little gems just arrive. 🤣🤣 My longest run was over 11k and it happened almost exactly the same way. It has been a while though. 😉❤️
I love this Fab, it sounds like you are really enjoying your running at the moment, good for you. Your run yesterday sounded perfect too, I think I need to do more 'just run' runs and think less when I do it, rather than worrying about how far I'm going or for how long.
Keep doing what you're doing as you are doing it brilliantly and I hope you keep having fun with Sgt. Garmin 💪👍🏃♀️🥳
Thanks so much Forest_Run_Beginner!! 🤗 That go with it has been what works for me. I find the opposite much more challenging. The loser I am the more I get done!! 😂😂👌🏽
Sgt Garmin intends to show me who’s boss mind! 💂🏽♂️...! 😁❤️
Love how you are building, challenging, changing and evolving into a fabulously fab 50! Just do your thing, which is hitting all the right notes and sprinkling stardust along the way 😊
Thanks so much GTFC!! I’ve certainly had so much fun!! And that always works well for me. I find it all a bit of an adventure 😂! Even with the challenges 💂🏽♂️😉! ❤️
What a post! Love reading about running (especially your posts about your whole training 🏋🏽♂️ team). Are we all becoming running geeks? Or are we just runningly cool 😎? (Got to ask my teenage son what the current word for ‘cool’ is...)
