Fabulous450 & The Smart Run With All My Favourites!! 🏃..💂‍♀️..🏃🏻‍♂️..🏃🏽‍♀️❤️

[Fabulous450]

Hi Runners!!

I had another busy week and after quite a lot of contemplation (and doubt), I decided to reschedule my Saturday long run. I was so wiped out.

So, I decided Sunday it is. Smart move too! My plan said I was doing 5 miles. But....I don’t tend to look at all the segments beforehand and when I saw it, I just didn’t think anything of it, to be fair. I’m still not thinking in miles 🥴, I just run and obey the directions of Sgt Major Garmin 🏃🏽‍♀️📣💂‍♀️, along with running Jeff’s way 🏃🏻‍♂️ 🏃🏽‍♀️ .

I was talking to Jeff on my run today actually (thinking 💭....) how will I run 10k Jeff (‘Jeffing’) without you? Not really realising, I was actually doing a 10k! 😳..😂..🙄. I snuck in a date with ‘my fav’... Coach Bennett 🏃..❤️.. 🏃🏽‍♀️ and started a NRC App ‘Thank You Run’ after Sgt Major Garmin’s warm up walk 💂‍♀️..😊..🚶🏽‍♀️walking! And of course, I couldn’t go without Jeff Galloway too 💂‍♀️..🏃..🏃🏻‍♂️...😁🏃🏽‍♀️!!

I should also mention a little run drooling 🤤 (OK...a lot! 🤤🤤...😳). I do see some runners who are a bit like poetry in motion; gliding along...all upright and so light on their feet. Making running at a pace look like their taking a little light jog to catch the bus 😲...🤩! Not a sound coming from their mouths...Very nice!! 😊 And they say hi to me doing my little pootle too 🤝👋🏽🦾 ! That’s what’s so great about running! We are so different (💂‍♀️..🙄..’that’s for sure’!) but we can all feel good knowing we’re never really out there alone!

I do prefer the park on a Saturday though 🌲 🌳 . By the time I finished my run, it was getting pretty busy today. It was the busiest I’ve seen it for a looong time; due to the ‘only meet up outdoors’ rule, no doubt! 🤓...😎! So, I was happy to be leaving! Job done! ✅

And on my LEJOG tour 🇬🇧, I have covered 307.5 miles 😱and have 566.5 to go!! I’m running towards Acton Gate, so I hope they’ll let me in!! Fabulous450 & The Commitments are doing alright!! We’re on the right path! 😁

Happy running Runners! ❤️

Wow, you’re doing so well 👍

Thanks so much BTP!! 🤗 I’m pretty blown away to be honest, but the long 10k training plan is working wonders. I’ve just starting Week 10 of 15 this week. 😆 The long haul is great for me. ❤️

[SaskAlliecat Graduate10]

That is so great! You have committed well to this endeavour and are making some great miles!

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to SaskAlliecat]

Thanks so much Sask!! 🤗 It’s great to be feeling happy to go out at this time of year!! 😁❤️

You have the bit between your teeth Fab! Go you! 🐎 🎉💥

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Thanks so much Cheeky!! 🤗 It really is much easier with my Jeffing plan. I’m out for a minimum of 20 minutes due to the warm up and cool down walking every time I go out. And the weekends are perfect for the long run, as it’s my declared ‘me time’, no intrusions 😉❤️.

[Fionamags Graduate10]

Great post as always! You are really clocking up those miles as well. Go you!!!! 🚀

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Fionamags]

Thanks so much Fionamags!! 🤗 I can only find time to update my mileage at the weekend at the moment, due to starting my new job, but it’s a very nice surprise when I do!! 😁 We’re on our way 🇬🇧!! ❤️

Oh I do like hearing this!! I personally prefer miles. That's nearly 7m 🙂🙂🙂🙂 NRC has a great 7m run actually. Are you extending distance by the run walk approach? What ratio's are you doing?

This is a good point to look back at your adventure and your progress too. Allow yourself to feel super proud 🙂

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Hey GTFC!! 👋🏽 Thanks so much. 🤗 Yes the Jeff Galloway plan extends the king run each week. Sometimes we do a magic mile during the distance on my long, usually Saturday run, which is non stop for that mile.

You choose the run walk intervals. I have been doing 1.5 mins, followed by 30 seconds walk, until the distance is covered. Working out well so far to get me through the whole run feeling good! 😁❤️

I've been reading an awesome post and thread by Couchpotato2 about this. Jump in there 👀

[Instructor57 Graduate10]

What a great run for you ! Not just 10k but 10.9 !

I also don't think in miles (I used to before I started running !) 😁

After 307 miles you are certainly on the right path and I'm sure you will be let in at Acton gate 😂👍

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Instructor57]

Thanks so much Instructor57!! 🤗 Jeffing has certainly been good to me too!! 😁❤️

Seeing other runners is great, especially when you both raise a hand nod or say hi

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Yes WillowandSola!! 😁 Hopefully a little of their ‘style’ 🥰 will rub off on me too!!😂❤️
