Fabulous450 - Just A Little Closer Will Do! 🏃🏽‍♀️😁 ❤️

[Fabulous450]

Hi Runners!

I wasn’t feeling too great yesterday, so it’s a good job it wasn’t a run day for me 👌🏽. After an early night, I’m feeling a lot better today.

💂🏽‍♂️Cadence & Acceleration-glider Drills today! I hope I’m not speaking too soon, but I think I’ve mastered the Garmin buttons too now 🤭.....🤓!

As I was running in the park today, I noticed that new trees have been planted, right near to some very large mature ones. I thought 💭...I’m a bit like that little one ☺️. But with Jeff as my coach, who knows, I might just grow into something just a bit closer to the biggie. For now, I’m definitely in the growing season 😉. Slow...but sure and I’m out running regularly again! I’m very happy with that 😃.

It’s been such a lovely warm day here today and I’ve really enjoyed my time outdoors! ☀️ 🌲 🌳 🏃🏽‍♀️ 😁

Happy running Runners!! ❤️

Slow, sure and regular is a great mantra for running. Enjoy the park and the warm weather. Happy running 🤗

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

Thanks so much Grannyhugs!!🤗 I agree. My average daily steps has skyrocketed. Well...to normal recommended! ☺️ I didn’t realise how low it probably was before🤫. ❤️

Glad your feeling better today and you are out running !

Oh, and sorted out the Garmin buttons ! I thought I'd lost my 10k on my watch on Saturday but thankfully it was there 😁

Slow, sure and growing is good 😁👍 Enjoy !

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Instructor57]

Thanks so much Instructor57!! 🤗 Yes, I saw that 🤭!! Glad you were able to see it later and congratulations on the 10k again!! What a brilliant run!! 🤩🤩❤️

Exactly this..bolder, braver, more experienced, learning, doing, achieving. Each run is a victory and small victories count big! It's not where you are but where you're going 🌱⚘

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Thanks as ever GTFC!! 🤗 I’m so glad to be out there having my little victories, but very often!! Feels great! 😁❤️

From little acorns big oak trees grow 🥜 .... 🌱 ...... 🌳. 😊

Ah thanks Delly-dot!! 🤗 Yes, the picture doesn’t do the big one justice 🌳😯 . That trunk is very impressive indeed! I know I’ll be very happy plodding along, but even then I’m sure there’ll be some nice surprises too! 😁❤️

You’re definitely a sapling swaying in face of challenges and all the stronger for it!

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Sybilw]

Thanks so much Sybilw!! 🤗 I like it and I shall remind myself of that too!! 😁❤️

Glider drills...I like the sound of gliding. Sounds easy 😄. Well done little tree, you're growing well.

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to BaddieThePirate]

Thank you BTP!! 🤗🤗

I think the glider drills are a bit of an art, (that I’m still learning). No idea what that one does for you 🥴, but I do enjoy doing the “drills”.

For gliders, you go from a walk, to a jog, to a fast pace, then reverse the sequence back down to a walk. After that you have a 30 second walk and start it again! Good fun!! 🤩❤️

[CBDB Graduate10]

Wow, your getting to the advanced refinement that is cadence & acceleration-glider drills! Mr Garmin is getting sophisticated!

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to CBDB]

There’s probably other more common names they call the drills 🤷🏽‍♀️!! I have wondered if those stepping stones are the same or similar to ‘Cadence Drills! 🤔

The names may be sophisticated, but I’m not sure that Sarge would use that terminology with me just yet!!💂🏽‍♂️🤐...😂

I don’t mind that though, I do like the fact that it brings a bit of a new variety to the runs 👌🏽 and it’s over before you know it too. ✅❤️

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Fabulous450]

😄but I think “cadence & acceleration-glider drills” sounds a bit more advanced than “stepping stones”. I still feel like running-kindergarten 👶 🍼 but you are definitely in running-university. 🎓 📖

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to CBDB]

💂🏽‍♂️....🤔....he may beg to differ 😊. Honestly, I think what you do and what it’s called just depends on which coach you choose to have for your plan. I just go with it and give it a go!! Keeps me moving!!😁❤️

[Katnap Graduate10]

Maybe the big trees are there to show the little ones how it's done! 😃

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Katnap]

I think you’re so right!! 😂😁❤️
