Hi Runners!!

This has been another great week! Iโ€™m absolutely blown away that Iโ€™ve covered over 93 miles on my way to John O Groats, ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ ๐Ÿ˜ฒ and Iโ€™m currently in Sourton Cross! ๐Ÿ˜†

Iโ€™ve been enjoying my real life tours of parks and forests in my local area and Iโ€™ve discovered that off road is definitely my very own magic feel good ingredient! ๐ŸŒณ๐ŸŒฒ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿฅฐ I donโ€™t know why it has taken so long for the penny to really drop! ๐Ÿ˜ณ

Iโ€™m suddenly not afraid of winter approaching (and my traditional dip in enthusiasm as the days grow shorter ๐Ÿฅด!!) I think this is going to be my best year yet. If I can keep this up, I think I might just make it to JOG!! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ...๐Ÿคญ...I think! And thatโ€™s a fabulous place to be! ๐Ÿฆพ ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Happy running Runners! โค๏ธ

Itโ€™s great to hear you full of enthusiasm again Fabulous- just like those days on C25k. I think LEJOG is just what you needed.

I love that part of the country too with Braunton Sands, Clovelly, Lynmouth, and Exmoor.

Well done, I look forward to seeing more postcards on your way to Scotland.

Thank you so much Dexy5!! ๐Ÿค— Yes, LEJOG has certainly raised the game!! I really feel that same joy of C25K!!

In fairness Iโ€™ve never followed a plan since, despite the many options to do so, but I wanted to have my time just enjoying running and making it more of a lifestyle, than a plan. All things come along at the right time, I think. And LEJOG was perfect timing. ๐Ÿ˜โค๏ธ

This is great, Fab ๐Ÿ˜๐ŸŽ‰. It's obviously just what to needed to inspire you. Just near to Sourton Cross there is a reservoir which is where I went for my first 'date' ( I know, a walk other than a restaurant ๐Ÿคฃ) with the man who would become my husband 26 years ago! Looking forward to more updates ๐Ÿ˜Š

Devon, eh?! Donโ€™t get caught out on all those hills - in my experience, all hills in Devon go up! There are no down hills!

๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚!! Thanks so much Oldgirlruns!! ๐Ÿค—

You know...I found out yesterday that there are โ€œhills drillsโ€ coming up in my Garmin plan too! ๐Ÿ˜ฒ Hopefully, not for a couple more weeks. ๐Ÿ˜†

I found myself having to tackle one on the home stretch of my last run too!! ๐Ÿฅด! But I made it! Good practice no doubt!! ๐Ÿค“Devon watch out!! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€โค๏ธ

Oh youโ€™re not far behind me - Iโ€™ve the girls a few days this week so I might see you catch up. Letโ€™s have coffee. Youโ€™d love running around here - we have a 13 mile greenway around the town and it runs near my house. Thereโ€™s a fancy dress run going on there today for a food charity.

Oh Sybilw!! I would absolutely love to be in a fancy dress run!! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜ƒ And your area sounds perfect for running. Iโ€™m fortunate to live in a leafy area in the south, but I do like the open green spaces a lot. It just reminds me of how wonderfully simple things can be!! Amazing!! ๐Ÿคฉ

Iโ€™m in Swindon, so Iโ€™ll actually be getting nearer to my real home in LEJOG soon too. Iโ€™ll ask the boys to put a flask out for you as you go by. I do hope to see you for coffee at some point, but if not, Iโ€™ll be happily running towards you and Iโ€™ll definitely be after my share of the shortbread!! ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ Enjoy your week Sybilw! ๐Ÿค—โค๏ธ

Hey David_G!! ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿฝ!!! Thanks so much. ๐Ÿค— Donโ€™t forget to give me a wave as you pass through tomorrow!! ๐Ÿ˜€ Iโ€™m not back out until Tuesday! But, Iโ€™ll be on cheerleading duty...with my feet up!! ๐Ÿ˜‰

I believe we have some great weather to look forward to this week! Have fun!! ๐Ÿ˜ โค๏ธ

This is very much your year. Bit by bit you'll get there. It all adds up and this will keep being the case because every race you have something to run for. 1 is for you because you deserve it and it's your time. 2 because you are making your way on a journey of mental and physical discovery. Keep rolling, keep consistent and you're body will adapt ever more ๐Ÿ˜Š
