Well here we are at week 3 of the new Quest 🕺🏽. How are you all doing?
I decided to call it this as we have experienced a lot of rain in the UK this Summer....!!! Some people love to run in the rain ( me!!!) and others don't... I think running in the rain can mean so many things: Having fun, enjoying nature, running through stormy times in our lives and also the chance to embrace something different to what we are used to. So I would encourage you to use this quest to go outside of your boundaries and try something different. Or if you are struggling, use it to re- energise your running journey and refresh your goals.
Welcome to Week 1... 🕶🌂
What the quest is:-
The quest takes six weeks.
You can join any time within that six weeks.
The main aim of the quest is to help you find a focus or goal that you would like to achieve by the end of the Quest period.
We ask that you are a graduate . The main reason we ask this is that while you are doing the program your plan is very structured, so we wouldn't want the quest to interfere with that.
Most popular goals are:-
To run three times a week
To slowly increase distance
To train for a specific race
To add In Stretch and strength exercises
As you can see they are personal to yourself and it's totally your own choice.
Every week I will pin a new post where all the members of the quest can talk about how things are going.
So if you wanted to join all you have to do is put:
I would like to join the quest, or count me in and then I would like to. ..............
Your name will be added for the duration of the Quest.
Good Luck everybody !

Katherine's Quest week 3 - Feel free to join.
Funny old week spent trying to swim through treacle recovering from a short but busy trip. I was pretty thrilled to get out for a run and absolutely the rain did not matter at all, if anything it kept me comfortable (although I was an eejit and took my windproof cycling jacket which of course was worse than useless after the warm up walk).
I didn't make it out twice because of not having the car for a while... could have done what most people do and run from the house but didn't feel my body was up to the hard surfaces. Felt a definite need for yoga stretches and managed 3 and a half times (don't ask about the half!) with candles and everything, nice. None of the other fitness activities, and I anticipate, at least until next weekend, that's the way it will stay as another short sharp trip booked mid-week.
Also got some exercise pulling up all my blighted tomatoes, so the wet weather's not all good.
Well done on the yoga and the run. Boo for the tomatoes. I have had 5 so far
Sounds busy and im really sorry about your tomatoes 🍅
Glad I am not a subsistence farmer, and that this is just a very middle class form of gambling. I had some nice varieties not in the shops. I have a steep garden so going up and down the steps is quite challenging (we have been known to drive to put things in the shed!!!)
Did have a fabulous fig the other day!
