Hi Runners

Sgt Major Garmin and I are still on the move and making our way to JOG! Lands End is quite far behind us both now, which is pretty amazing. I never dreamed I could be in Scotland by January ☺️!

It’s fair to say that we’ve moved into the slow lane over the last couple of months and I think there are a few extra pounds being carried too! I’ll blame the Scottish treats! πŸ€₯ Jeff Galloway has kept me going and β€˜Jeffing’ has been my winter warrior! πŸ’ͺ🏽

I was out β€˜Jeffing’ for an hour today, while listening to a guided run. The learning for me is that running truly is an art. Every time you go out, you’ll learn something and importantly, perfection is just not required πŸ˜‰! I ran when I wanted to and I walked when I wanted to. My goal was just to be out in the fresh air moving for the hour πŸ˜ƒ! Job done! βœ…

Besides, we’re at Strathclyde Country Park on LEJOG at the moment 🏴󠁧󠁒󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 πŸƒπŸ½β€β™€οΈπŸ’‚β€β™€οΈ and as you can see, there are lots of beautiful things to see! 310 miles to go on LEJOG 🀩 and I’m sure that they’ll be lots more beautiful places to see on the way.

Happy running Runners! ❀️

Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁒󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿!!! Wohoo! πŸ₯³ πŸ₯³πŸ₯³πŸ₯³

I’m still joggling along down south, but steady does it! 🐒🐌

Well done for keeping on keeping on! Yes, I also experience running not only as a fitness journey but a journey of self discovery.... and also discovery of new environments around you, virtual and real!

Thanks so much CBDB! πŸ€— It’s slow for me too, but I’m so glad I entered LEJOG, it’s been a motivator to take a breath and then keep on going! Enjoy! 😁❀️

Ah...thanks so much Mummycav! πŸ€— Sgt Major Garmin was being quite strict while in Yorkshire I think! πŸ˜‚ He’s eased off a bit now though. I think he knows who rules the roost! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚...🀨...πŸ’‚β€β™€οΈ...🀫! I’ll be waving on my way back!! πŸ‘‹πŸ½πŸ‘‹πŸ½β€οΈ

Thanks so much BTP!! πŸ€— Absolutely, I’m not that fussed if it’s run or walk anymore! Run a bit, walk a bit! 😁...but I’m out there and I still get a cheer on the days I reach Sgt Major Garmin’s step goals...πŸ˜‰! And that’s not every day anymore! 😳...πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚β€οΈ

Congratulations on the steady progress up the map! You will have some beautiful scenery soon - but I'm not sure that the map does it justice. Enjoy your Jeffing!!!

Thanks so much Fionamags!! πŸ€— I usually do a little exploring of the area through good old google! It’s a great way to virtual tour!! I’ll certainly have a long list of beautiful places to see once I get to JOG! 😁 Let’s keep going and enjoy Fionamags! πŸ˜‰β€οΈ

You're doing great, they were skating on the pond there last weekend until health and safety got wind of it. Enjoy your journey through the rest of Scotland. Happy running πŸ€—

Thanks so much Oldgirlruns! πŸ€— I’m a bit higgeldy, piggedly for sure 😳, but I’m still moving on up. It’s always a booster to add a few miles to LEJOG and see how far you’ve come. It was a great decision to give it a go. 😁❀️

Well done on your mileage so far on LEJOG Fabulous450. Strathclyde Park is not that far away from where I actually live. Its quite popular on a sunny day and with runners . Even a parkrun is held there.

Well done πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

Thanks so much Over62! πŸ€— LEJOG is a nice reminder that I’m doing ok because I’m moving on ⬆️...😁...It’s much better than the couch any day too! πŸ˜‰β€οΈ

Woohoo! Fantastic Fabulous. You are chipping away at those miles nicely and are into Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁒󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 good and proper now.

Wowee!! You really have been putting some miles in lately - even if a bit sporadic. Good for you!πŸ‘πŸ‘ I agree that you learn something about your running or yourself every time you go out. Hope you've settled well into your new job now.

Enjoy beautiful Scotland! 🏞️β™₯️

Ah thanks so much Slinkymalinki! πŸ€— I do feel like I’ve been there 3 years, not 3 months, so I guess that’s sort of the same as settled down! πŸ˜‚...πŸ˜‰! Getting there! Hope you’re doing well too! ❀️

Only managing to run once a week with my sanity saving friend as the remote teaching is full on. But I am doing the 30 day Breathe yoga with Adriene pretty much every day which is helping with tight glutes from sitting all day! πŸ™‚

Fabulous450Graduate10 in reply to Slinkymalinki

Ooh virtual teaching!! I imagine that it’s a lot of work 😯. I certainly feel working on line has increased working hours by a significant amount! And recovering from long hours in front of a screen takes total rest 😴. It’s not just the actual meetings/classes, it’s the work that still needs to be done afterwards tooπŸ₯±. I think I shall have to get an eye test and a new prescription! πŸ˜‚! Keep up the great work with Adrienne! 😁 I saw that was plan, but I couldn’t find the energy! πŸ˜‚...Well done you!! We just need to adjust and keep finding the tools to keep us going strong! πŸ’ͺ🏽❀️

Hey Fab! You're doing brilliant! I'm just starting to get an aroma of whisky coming over the border as I head towards Carlisle. Isn't it brilliant how we never seem to stop learning doing this running thingie?! xxx

Aah...the whiskey is nearby πŸ₯ƒ!!! ...what a star you are!! πŸŒŸπŸ’«...well done TailChaser!! Yes, most definitely, we just keep on learning and should be very proud of that too!! No perfection required!! πŸ˜‰β€οΈ
