Fabulous450 & The 10k Thank You Run with Kipchoge!! 🏃🏽‍♀️🙌🏽🙌🏽😁❤️

[Fabulous450]

Hi Runners!

I had a bit of a frustrating day yesterday and was glad to put myself to bed to stop feeling grizzly about it! 😬...😳

After being told to wait in from 8am to 3:30pm for a delivery...it never came 🙄. Checking it’s whereabouts, I was assured it would still arrive today 😯... good eh?👌🏽😃....NOT 😖!! After 9pm at night, I was then texted to say it would arrive by 1pm tomorrow🤯. Well...not happy 🤨 (and trying to let it go was not working well, which isn’t like me 🤭, but there are limits 🤔). A whole day sat waiting...for nothing 😩! To top it all off Sgt Major Garmin 💂🏼had run out of charge and despite going on a walk to clear my head, he was not walking with me 🚶‍♂️... 🚶‍♂️...🚶‍♂️...⬅️...💂🏼 ! ...➡️...🙄 Thankfully, my phone has health data and I can use what I did while my phone was with me for LEJOG! So, all is not lost 🦾.

Anyway, today it was my “long run day”! “Let it all go day” and “be thankful for running day”!! 🤩 It was a cold and windy start this morning. I went off to the Park Run location and I had an amazing run with Kipchoge and Coach Bennett. Loved it!! 🥰

After letting it all go, I was just thankful for all of the things running has got me through. When you’re stuck, angry or frustrated...walk or run!! I find that as you move, the feelings move too! Jeff Galloway’s 10k plan run/walk/run today and one very happy runner indeed ✅

Happy running Runners!! ❤️

[Mum22boys Graduate10 in reply to Fabulous450]

Good thanks 😊 week 1 of hols and done lots of walking, over 38 miles this week including a 9+ mile walk, longest walk for a while, and now got my 200 mile postcard 😁

Hello! I don't usually post on here, just lurk, but had to say that I also did that exact same run with Eliud this morning, carried on to about 10k in a similar time, and also had various livestock encounters (horses and goats for me 😁). Spooky!

I had a great time, and loved the guided run, but i always do with Coach Bennett, and Eliud just made it even better!

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to helenac77]

Well...that’s fantastic to hear helenac77!! 😁😁😁🤗!! I love the CB runs so much too! My favourite!! 😉

So glad you posted. That’s made my day too!! 🤗🤗❤️

[CBDB Graduate10]

Wow!! I have completely forgotten the voice of Erin ( my infatuation of 5 min ago) and am now drooling after your runs! 🤤🤤🤤🤤

Wow! That’s also the essence of being a runner: your words, pics and emojis make me jealous of your runs! 😂😂😂 (in a good way, I hasten to add 😉)

But after that day (with all those emojis interfering with your life) you deserve a great run!!

Love your post, as always! Keep on keeping on! 😘👍🏼💪🏃🏻‍♀️👏

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to CBDB]

Ah thank you so much!! 🤗 I’m always inspired by your posts too! Never fails to make me smile!! 😁 Yes, let’s keep on keeping on! 😁🤗❤️

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10]

Great run for you today FAB450, that is most annoying that you stay in all day for a delivery and they don't come, I don't think that had happened to me, however, the day the man came to replace my Smart meter, he came at 6pm after staying in for most of the afternoon, at least he came, the card I got said that your meter will be replaced sometime between 12 noon and 6pm, I can't complain.

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

Thanks so much AlMoor 🤗 I had revived my hopes after the reassurance, so was totally miffed after nothing arrived and then a text to tell me quite nonchalantly...tomorrow! It’s here now and I haven’t even opened the packages! It can WAIT!! 🤣🤣😁❤️

[TailChaser Graduate10]

He’s a bit of a star that Kipchoge isn’t he? What a brilliant thing to be able to do. Well done on your 10k and being so patient with the non delivery! 👏👏👏

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to TailChaser]

Thanks so much TailChaser!! 🤗 It’s rare that I’d let it get to me, but it really was all kinds of ridiculous yesterday!! But Kipchoge & Coach Bennett sorted me out! 🤣🤣❤️

[Beatlesforever Graduate10]

Sounds like it was just what the doctor ordered 👏👏👏 😃 hope you get that delivery soon 👍

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Beatlesforever]

Thanks so much Beatlesforever!! 🤗 It certainly was!! The package is here now and I haven’t opened it!! I’ll do that TOMORROW!! .....maybe! 😉...👌🏽❤️

[EThomas Graduate10]

That sounds like a fantastic run.

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to EThomas]

Thanks so much ET!!🤗 It was a very inspiring guided run indeed! Promoting having no big expectations, just do the best you can do! Loved it so much, I carried on after it finished too! 😁❤️

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10]

How annoying for you Fab450! Home delivery can be great but hanging around for non-delivery definitely isn’t! But I’m glad you were finally able to enjoy a run, even if Sgt Major Garmin let you down! Happy weekend!

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Oldgirlruns]

I know!! 🙄 And that Sgt Major Garmin!! 💂🏼...talk about sneaking off at crucial moments...🙄 bad timing 🤣🤣!! But everything and everyone is in the right location today!! 😉❤️

[David_G]

Well said Fab450, running is such a good way to release tension and focus the mind, or at least that’s what I’ve found 🙂👍 Coach Bennett is my current favourite coach on NRC and I use him most of my runs🏃‍♂️😊

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to David_G]

Thanks so much!! 🤗 I agree with you, running truly is the best medicine for frustration!!! 😁

Coach Bennett!! 🥰 ...He’s my fav too!! 😉😁❤️

[Katnap Graduate10]

😁 Fabulous as ever! 😁

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Katnap]

Thanks so much Katnap!! 🤗 It was a lovely run today!! 😃❤️

[Sandraj39 Graduate10]

Well done - running away the frustrations is the best!💪😀

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Sandraj39]

Thanks so much! 🤗 It was the perfect tonic!! 🤗❤️

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10]

Good one. Good advice too.

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to BaddieThePirate]

Thanks so much BTP!! 🤗 When it’s hard to ignore, but you can’t change it, I know I just have to get myself to “move”. And if I can’t get my head to loosen the grip🤝 (and I’m wise enough, at the time 🥴...😳), I get my body to sort it all out!! It works!! 🤣❤️

[Fionamags Graduate10]

Well done - overcame the gripes in the end!! Onwards!

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Fionamags]

Thanks so much Fionamags!! 🤗 Strop very nicely dissolved 😉....! 🇬🇧🏃🏽‍♀️Onwards indeed!! 😃❤️

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate]

That’s a long run, you’ve flown through the plan

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Thanks so much WillowandSola!! 🤗 I’m going into W8 this week 😁! It is a 15 weeks plan mind 😉, I’m trying to use Jeff Galloway, the wonderful Sgt Major Garmin 💂🏼 and LEJOG to help get me through winter 🤫. Mind tools 🧰 🛠....🤣.

I’m at the half way point with my 10k virtual on 5th December, all being well 🤞🏽. So far, it’s been brilliant!! Mojo right up there!!❤️

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

Good to see you loving your running again Fabulous. Well done. 🏃🏽‍♀️👏🏻👏🏻

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

Thanks so much Dexy5!! 🤗 I really am enjoying it! So glad I stuck with it (occasionally), in the down times. ❤️
