Fabulous450 & The 2021 Comeback Run... Taking The Slow Lane To LEJOG... 🇬🇧.. 🏃🏽‍♀️..💂‍♀️!! ❤️

[Fabulous450]

Hey Runners!

Firstly, let me say Happy New Year ✨💫. I have definitely moved into the slow lane.

I hadn’t logged my LEJOG steps since 14th November 😳. And...Sgt Major Garmin plummeted my step goals to around 5,000 a day and sleep goals of less than 5 hours. That was an eye opener 💂‍♀️...🤨. It’s time to slow down and get some proper rest. My body is saying the same too. A bit of an achey run today ☺️!

Rest & recovery is still work in progress, so I’ve not been able to check in so much. It has been nice to see all of my VRBs running achievements!! I see some have finished LEJOG 🇬🇧...🏁.. ✅ !! 🤩🤩...That’s brilliant!! 🤚🏽...🥰 I also see we’re up to LEJOG 9 now too!! 😱😱

I haven’t done as bad as I thought I would have. It took me absolutely ages to put all those updates on! 🥴....😳! 522 miles now done!! I think I might be due a postcard!! 📩...🇬🇧🙌🏽🙌🏽

Anyway...I’ll be staying in the slow lane for now, but I shall keep on! Wishing you all a fabulous 2021!

Happy Running Runners!! ❤️

You’ve done well. 2021 is time to find the right balance between work, rest and running. You’ll do it 👍

Thanks so much BTP! 🤗 I will! There’s only so much you can do in a day! So, I’ll adjust as I go along if I need to! 😁❤️

Fab! How lovely to hear from you. Happy new year! 🎉

You’ll get postcards for 400 and 500 miles from LEJOG4 (I’m not sure when you stopped logging), so that’s something to look forward to!

You always find a way to make things work for you and I’m amazed at how you juggle everything you do. Superwoman, that’s you! ⭐️

Happy running! 🥰

Aah thanks so much!! 🤗 Covid has created such a lot of chaos at work. No plan quite lasts for more than a couple of days. I’ve got so caught up that I’ve forgotten to take care of myself in order to do the best for others. So, my mission is to do just that this month. 🤩 If I get two postcards, that would be spectacular!! 😮! I don’t remember where I was! 😂

Happy New Year to you and all the family Cheeky!! ✨✨❤️

Happy New Year to you too. Like you I’m behind on my lejog4 posts so you inspire me to update soon. Seem to have given in to the gremlins for the first time and haven’t been out for about 3 weeks. 🤷‍♀️ No apparent reason I can think of but I’m trusting it’ll turn around. Soon. Washed my kit and hung it IN the wardrobe - used to live hanging on the door. Losing motivation all around - just too much time watching the (bad) news I guess. I’ll be back though. I hope you find some better balance in your life - don’t spread yourself too thin. Slow and steady leads to JOG!

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Sybilw]

Ah thanks so much Sybilw!! 🤗 You know the news can have that effect! I am in meetings with Covid stats at least every 2 days. I think it does have you on a form of high alert 🚨!! So, long hours and not exactly restful sleep takes it’s toll.

As the kit is washed and ready Sybilw, maybe you might want to join me on the slow and steady route!! And do feel free to get on the fast lane whenever your fuel gauge is full up again! That’s my plan!! 😉

I’ll be back out on Tuesday morning. I’m heading off to bed shortly too! 😂 We can do it!!✨✨✨ ❤️

[Sybilw Graduate10]

Sleep well. Slow and steady sounds a plan.

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Sybilw]

Thanks Sybilw!! 🤗❤️

Happy New Year Fabulous, good to see you post and know you are ok

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Hey Fabulous! Happy New Year!By coincidence I have just finished logging over a month of miles on my LEJOG too, so when i saw your post it made me smile 😊. It took me ages to catch up as well but it was worth it as it has just taken me over the 400 miles mark - I have just passed my old uni on the M6 at Lancaster. I was out of action for a month, but managed to log my dog walks as I became more mobile.

Take care of yourself. It sounds like you have a lot on your plate. Take time to press the reset and refresh button for yourself . 🤗🥰

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Happy New Year Delly-dot!! 🤗 You’re doing great!! 🤩 over 400 mls...🤩✨✨ How brilliant! And you were out of action too! 😁 I’m logging every step Delly-dot! 😂 knowing you’re still taking small strides does help!

Here’s to enjoying our great LEJOG journey 2021! 🇬🇧🥂❤️

[Katnap Graduate10]

Slow and steady! Especially in the recently icy conditions!

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Katnap]

I will Katnap! 🤗 I don’t think I’ll fair off too well any other way! Slow progress is better than none. Run/walk has been a lot of fun for me. It’s a great way to get outdoors for longer, even if only for more walk than run! I need that in the winter too! 😉❤️
