Miles for Mind…and a good book!😀📖🏃‍♀️

[Sandraj39]

So, we are nearly at the end of August and today was the last run of my ‘Miles for Mind’ Summer Challenge. I signed up for the 50 miles just to help keep me motivated throughout the long summer holidays (the perks of working in a school!😉). Also, running is so important to my mental wellbeing…it changes me from this…🤯 to this…😇😁!

Anyway, it definitely helped make sure I stuck to my three runs a week, finishing on 60 miles in total.

Today, inspired by CBDB’s recent post, I used my newly downloaded BorrowBox app to listen to ‘The Thursday Murder Club’ by Richard Osman on my 10K trail run.😀 Very entertaining - and the miles slipped by very quickly too!

Back to school on Wednesday, which means later weekday runs after work from now on but as summer seems to have morphed in to autumn already, that shouldn’t be a problem!

Happy running all.🙂

Oh I know the 🤯😇changes well! My hubby used to be a math teacher for 2 decades and Friday afternoons he was all 😇😇😇😇 turning into a 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤬 by Sunday evening! 😂😂😂

Looked up the Osman book, which sounds brill. But it’s been lent out until Dec in my library. So great catch!

60 miles! Oh my! 👏👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉 Brilliant! 🤩🤩 Medal looks great!!

Well done on your 50 miles Sandra - I really can’t believe that August is coming to an end already. I pledged 25 miles but if I run 11 km tomorrow I will have done 50 miles. That’s an incentive, as someone else can use my surplus. It’s been a pleasure to run with you for such a worthy cause.

Enjoy your last day of hols.

Great mileage there too, Dexy - well done!👏🙂

11 k completed today, so 50.25 miles done in August. I also ticked off all the challenges on the bingo card, the best being “eat an ice cream after a run”. 🍦🏃‍♀️

Well done Sandraj39 I signed up for just 25 miles this time as I was injured, and I've actually ended up with just over 77 miles!

Brilliant total David - the Half Marathon must have helped!🙂

[David_G in reply to Sandraj39]

Yes Sandra, it certainly did! 😄
