Running euphoria is well and truly back!! 😁 I had an amazing run this morning! Saturday’s are now my long run day! And it was time for some ‘Jeffing’ in the fields 🦾! After Sgt Garmin gave me my instructions 💂🏽♂️🗣, I was off with a nice 10 minute warm up. Then 3 miles of “our Jeff’s” strategy run/walk/run and 10 minutes cool down. It was brilliant. I’ve run this route before, but I’ve never got to the end before on my little runs... but today, I went from end to end and clocked up almost 5 miles too! 😁 7:25k in C25K measurements! 💥💥💥
I realised I could have done with shorter intervals in the run/walk/run sequence, as it was getting harder to do by the end. I was a little tempted to see if I could fit in that strange little hidey hole in the tree when I saw it, but I pressed on and reminded myself that I’m actually doing ok here ☺️.
It’s not much to some, but the vision ahead of going uphill in my last 300 meters took a bit of digging deep, but I decided I could do it and I made it 🙌🏽.
The squirrels came out to have a little peek as I returned doing my cool down! They seemed happy and Sgt Garmin and I were very happy indeed 🤩. I achieved my fastest mile so far today. It was quite warm and I was dripping when I got back, but I felt so good achieving that. I hadn’t expected it to be 3 miles in my plan this time, but it’s done ✅ . I’m glad I have 2 days to rest before I’m out again... some drills no doubt! 💂🏽♂️🤨🗣.....🙄🤣!
It was a happy running day for me!! The secret ingredient for me is definitely to stay off road if I can. 🧚🏽♀️🤩
Happy running Runners!! ❤️

Ah thanks so much Instructor57!! 🤗 I’ve done a little tour of my town over the past two years and I’m still finding new places now. I’d recommend google searching for woods, forests, fields and parks nearby. I have been amazed by how many there are and so much closer than I would have thought too 🤩!They’re beautiful places to run and get some headspace too!! 😉😁❤️
Thanks so much Fionamags!! 🤗 I’ve reached into the 700’s to go!! It’s still a lot 😉, but it really felt good to see that first figure change from 8 to 7!! I’m actually doing alright here! 😲🤩❤️
Thanks so much Grannyhugs!! 🤗 Weirdly I cant imagine life without him now! I’m not obsessed with the data, but having the running plan sort of automated and with me all the time, as well as putting my mileage into the LEJOG system every day has really inspired me. 🤩❤️
Just walking at the moment, had a couple of run/walks earlier in the week but decided to ease back for bit. Eldest boy is back in pre-school so the youngest boy and me are walking some miles 😍
Ah that’s lovely. Great together time with the youngest too! Hope he’s settled in well. 🥰
I’ve been walking too to add up some miles Mum22boys!! I know I’ll have you as a cheerleader to welcome me when I arrive ‘Up North’! We’ll get there Mum22boys!! Or we’ll certainly have tried our very best. And when we’ve given it all we’ve got to give, we can be proud of that determination to keep moving upwards! 🤩❤️
Ah you’ll be up and on the run way before that!!😉 But, I’m very happy for a bit of company while you’re building back up 😁. We will keep each other going regardless! It wouldn’t be as much fun on the journey alone!! 🤔...Though the leader will probably be there tomorrow by the looks of things!! 🤩🤩 Of course, he could possibly be there right now, satisfied and happily putting his feet up!! 🛋 🇬🇧 😄❤️
It did feel quite epic! 🦾 When I arrived back home my son said, ‘Mum you’re dripping’, with the biggest smile I said ‘Yeah, that was brilliant’! 😂😂 Disengaged from the busy streets, I didn’t realise I had been gone for an hour! 😆❤️
