Guilt-free slippers 😉

Having posted already this morning about having become far too fond of my slippers for my own good, I am pleased to report that Mymojo successfully made me swap them for my trainers and I have been out for a run.

It was a very wet and squelchy outing, but get out I did 😃! I set out to just do what I could and I was prepared for walk intervals if I needed them, but I didn't. I think it was the driving rain that kept me running 🏃‍♀️ but also kept me to a sensible distance and I completed 2.5k before cooling down and walking 5 minutes home.

I am now enjoying a guilt-free cup of coffee in my slippers after a warming shower and enjoying the wonderful smug feeling of successfully getting Mymojo up off that sofa! Thank you to all who posted words of encouragement this morning and to those who joined in the rallying-cry and also got themselves out today. I hope you have enjoyed your runs too. D-d 🤗

Woo hoo so glad you got out

[Hidden in reply to SueAppleRun]

Thank you, me too. I definitely feel better for it, even though it was just a short run, but it did the job 😊.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Hidden]

Feeling better fir it....hold onto that thought for the next run Short runs are good 😌

[Hidden]

Slipper wearing always feels better after a run 👍 well done Hidden you pounded that sofa gremlin 💪

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Thank you 😊.

[Cmoi Graduate10]

Yay for you Hidden and guilt-free slippers!

[Hidden in reply to Cmoi]

Whoopee! And to you for surprising those loggers! 🏃🏼‍♀️😊 🌲

[Cmoi Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

All together now: "If you go down in the woods today, you're sure of a big surprise." 🧸

Or more accurately a 5 foot-nothing one! 🌲🏃‍♀️🤣

Best bit was they were sitting down and had parked their gear across the track, so almost certainly didn't see me arrive - I just emerged between two vehicles and cheerfully said "Bonjour!"

Well done!

Thank you 😊

Well done for getting that mojo off the sofa today Delly-dot, lovely to see your posts pop up today. It’s been such a challenging Winter and with all you have going on you’ve done brilliantly getting out there and encouraging a few more to go with you. It helps so much having moral support from our VRB’s to keep us going. Keep going, Spring is coming 🤗🌼

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Oh thank you Mrs Jorge 😊. There’s nothing more truthful than the saying “You always feel better after a run.” Hopefully MyMojo is back on the right side and I can keep going. Just short runs is all I need at the moment. Roll on spring! ☀️ 🌷

[Buddy34 Graduate10]

Great you got out again Delly-dot and like you say you feel so much better for it. So you can now really enjoy your cosy slippers and fire. Have a great day 👏💪💪

[Hidden in reply to Buddy34]

Thank you Buddy. 😊

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10]

Nice one Delly, you deserve your slippers and coffee. Bask happily! 🥰

[Hidden in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Will do ☺️ ☕️ 🤗

[sofaspud]

That “after run” feeling is the reason I get out there! Enjoy that well earned cup!

[Hidden in reply to sofaspud]

You are right sofaspud. I need to hold on to that feeling 😊

[dijep Graduate10]

Well done Delly-dot this is great to read👍I read your earlier post and it made me get off my back side and go and sort my car out which I need to sell but keep putting it off. So nothing to do with running but sometimes we are just good at thinking of reasons not to do things.

My reward for actually making a start on the process was to take some time to reply to posts. But now there's no need for encouragement for you as you've kicked your mojo off the coach already 😀

Next run at the weekend?

[Hidden in reply to dijep]

Procrastinating is one of my less redeeming qualities 😆 but it does feel wonderful to sort things out, so I know just how you feel!! Yes, next run Friday or Saturday 😊

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

Brilliant run and lovely photo montage. Happy 🤗

[Blossom- 60minGraduate]

Ooh Delly-dot your slippers look lovely, no wonder they are hard to leave. But you did! So pleased for you!😊

[Hidden in reply to Blossom-]

I love 💕 my slippers! Today though I remembered my trainers aren’t too bad either 😉

[Beatlesforever Graduate10]

Yay, it turns out I joined you without realising! Glad we managed to get out there. Hope you enjoyed your coffee, it looks delicious ☕☺️

[Hidden in reply to Beatlesforever]

Coffee was lovely, thank you. We did alright, didn’t we? 😉

[FreedomToRun]

Thanks to you... me too!!! Feeling better for it. 😀

[Hidden in reply to FreedomToRun]

Oh, well done. Makes me smile to think lots of us have all run “together” today 😊🏃🏼‍♀️⭐️

[FreedomToRun in reply to Hidden]

Yes how lovely is that! 💖

[Week7 Graduate10]

Glad you have your Mojo safely back on side. That post run shower & coffee really are the best aren't they? Just finished work and about to get changed & head out myself- its damp & miserable out there so hopefully not too much people dodging today.

Happy running to you & your Mojo!

[Hidden in reply to Week7]

Thank you! A quiet route was a definite upside to the heavy rain this morning. Enjoy your run too.

[Week7 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Thankyou_ I've been out, it was damp, nothing major but enough to keep the pavements clear of walkers. Had a lovely run splashing through puddles .Now back home, showered, changed and...relax......

[Killerblue Graduate10]

Well done sounds like you really enjoyed it

[Hidden in reply to Killerblue]

I don’t know if I enjoyed it as I ran, but I definitely enjoyed the sense of achievement afterwards 😊🏃🏼‍♀️, and the coffee by the fire!

[Birdlady64 Graduate10]

The slippers look lovely and comfy - no wonder you love them so much, But well done on swapping them for your running shoes and venturing out. A nice 2.5k to ease back into it 😁

[Hidden in reply to Birdlady64]

Thank you! Easing back into it is about right 😊. I shall be mindful of that this week. Thank you

[CBDB Graduate10]

Woohooo! Nice 👍🏽! How does it feel? 🤸? 👏😃

[Hidden in reply to CBDB]

Great 👍🏼! 😆

[PandaCory Graduate10]

You smashed it! Well done - you deserve a session with the slippers now 👏

[Lifluf Graduate10]

Well done for forcing Mymojo out. And in the rain too. I dithered this morning and didn't go out in the end. So I did some digging instead which cleared my cobwebs but I'm definitely running tomorrow morning no matter what!

[Scruff55 60minGraduate]

Well done. Good run for you today hope you enjoyed your slippers and relaxing coffee. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[Bluebirdrunner Graduate10]

Well done Delly-dot and thank you for posting about your Mojo going AWOL.Reading your post was just the inspiration I needed to push me out of the door again too! Days were beginning to slide by without any running happening here.

A good 30 minute run this afternoon with a rainbow (always nice) and all feels good again. Maybe another will follow this weekend🤞

That after run glow is worth remembering isn't it!😎xxx

[Hidden in reply to Bluebirdrunner]

Well done BBR! It's sometimes hard to keep erstwhile mojos in check, especially at this time of year, but let's look forward to spring and runs in the sunshine 🌻☀️. MyMojo and I will be heading out again tomorrow or Saturday.

[Fionamags Graduate10]

I would have joined you and your rallying cry might have helped boot me out of the door if I had read this a couple of days ago. You have a fine taste in slippers by the way - I have the exact same ones 😉

[Hidden in reply to Fionamags]

Great feet think alike! 😊
