I knew I was definately going out there this morning for my long run..I missed it last Sunday due to a combination of laziness, hangover and family activities...
Here is the Juicyju list:
1. The lad and I got dropped off on the downs in Clifton....we started running and the sun was shining and there were other runners everywhere...we chatted about 'stuff' and just enjoyed the mum and lad bond we are so lucky to have...we kept looking at each other and smiling ( its definately love!!!)
2. Next was the Suspension Bridge..there is something about running on a major structure and looking down and seeeing water so far away...it felt very empowering....
3. Then the parkrun route...so beautiful, all white lines in the sky, deer and downhill...
4. Then disaster...the lad said 'my blister is really bad, my toes really hurt' right...we need to stop, I'm calling daddy..he didn't protest, daddy came and rescued him, and I decided to carry on.. we had done 6k which wasn't half way in our plan...advice sought from Face Book...thankyou guys!!!! I carried on...
5. I felt so alive, so in love with my running, my power, and my 'small goals' which is the method I apply when its hard or a hill, and it sooooo works. Loads of cyclists past me, and I always smiled ( the ones that didn't got the finger...sorry!)
6. I got to my 10 mile point, totally shattered but felt great...popped into SPAR for treats...Freddo frogs, buttons and dairy milk ( I didn't win)...
7. It was so sunny I have tan lines!!!!!
8. Lastly... I have just made 194 quid selling all the clothes that don't fit me... I have gone down 2 dress sizes since starting ( myfitnesspal)...
so all in all it was amazing, and the lad is fine, he needs new shoes, so we will go after Parkrun next Sat.
I so hope you have all had a good weekend of running...
The pic is from me and my sister doing the same run 2 weeks ago...( I am banned from posting any pics of Leon!!!)
