Mojo located up a hill...

[Poppy2010]

I have been feeling a bit out of sorts with my running since the Olympic Park run as I had no proper goal (I am signed up for a R4L in October but only 5k so that's not a challenge as such) I have been out running but have missed a few do to going camping or other days out; and shifts have meant I haven't been able to Parkrun for ages (& as I am on nights tonight, no Parkrun tomorrow again!

However my eldest daughter is now on C25K wk 8, I have been out with her a few times in the earlier weeks but I was having a sudden panic that as she's half my age she will soon whizz past me, so I have taken to running one of my old post grad routes - but in reverse so where I used to run down the big hill I now run up it! I had to walk for about the distance between two lamposts last time in the middle of the hill; today I made it all the way up, yay!

5k done, no stopping, felt good, so I was a happy runner!

My younger daughter has also started C25K with her hubby; she is on week 2 and coping ok (she is very overweight but seems determined & is using MFP along with oyher daughter & me)

Oh, also today I weighed in & have reached my 3 stone lost! Only about the same to go!

Well done on weight loss - you must be very, very proud of yourself. And I thnk you have re-inspired me - since doing R4L in July, I seem to have lost something. Am about to go out now,

Cheers!

What a great weight loss, Poppy - you must be feeling fantastic! And well done for running up your hill - I must confess, I still hate hills. I hope your shifts enable you to Parkrun again soon, and that you have great runs with your daughters How great that you have inspired them to do 25k - Ambassador Poppy

Thank you - I got out this morning and did well over 5k, and feel so much better. didn't want to, but was reassured to know that other people get out of sorts!!!! Feel i'm back on track.

Well done poppy, I would never have thought to look for my mojo at the top of a hill in the early days I used to hate them but there does come a point when you just have to say "right then bring em on, I can do ups as well as downs" Keep up the good running work and weight loss, incredible achievements.
