Another sunny run...

[Mummycav]

No Mr Smooth this morning..just me n my music...& this beautiful morning...

My new 10/15 minute warm up worked again...after 4.5k, when I was ready to run back towards the car...my legs were running in the other direction...they made me run into my thoughts...I wasn’t thinking about what I was doing, I was thinking of the things I’ve done in my life...huh...nothing exciting but I’m here, I’m alive...I’m thinking about my Mum, gosh I miss her so much....I’m thinking about my childhood, yikes...not good, until my Dad left.....I’m thinking about my first job...with a smile...I’m thinking about my first car..couldn’t wait...I’m thinking about my wedding..beautiful day...I’m thinking about having my children...nothing compares to that...

Running has taken me on a journey... the weeks it took me to complete C25k & every time I’m out there, I’m on a journey...with my legs making me run into my thoughts....

Amazing! Sounds sooo lovely!

One of my favourite things about running is getting lost in my thoughts. It is such a peaceful time for me. I've missed several turns while running and have had to replan my route on the fly which is ok too 🙂

It’s funny isn’t it?!! I wasn’t planning the run this morning...I just ran!

[SaskAlliecat Graduate in reply to Mummycav]

And it sounds perfect 😁. The impromptu runs can often be the best. I'm glad to hear you're getting your groove back

[poppypug Graduate]

Having some head space is just invaluable , just you and your thoughts

Lovely post and pic xxx

Lovely post Mummycav! You know you’re having fun when you’re just running and smiling! 😀

[lardofale Graduate]

Love that missus! A beautiful way to express what's important in life x

It was lovely wasn't it.. I thought of you whilst I was out there running too!

It sounds like a great run.. .. and what a great distance too and with such happy, happy thoughts...

I am doing the opposite in some ways now.... running with, ( gulp) discipline in my runs... ( Speed podcast) trying to get back up to 10K... it was hard this morning.. during the slow intervals I wanted to run faster.. ( yes me )... I had to be every sensible.

Go you.. very well done

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Woah fast & Oldfloss in the same sentence sends me all funny...

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate in reply to Mummycav]

Did you really think of me??? Now I know I’m a runner if I’m in Oldfloss ’s thoughts xxx

[Fishypieface Graduate]

It's great when running can be 'me' time, clear your head from the daily grind, reflect on things and gain perspective. I don't often get runs like that but they are lovely when they come along. So glad you are having a better time of it when you are out - long may it continue!

What a lovely post for a glorious morning 😊

[HeadInTheClouds Graduate]

You've made me all emotional. Nuff said. Xx

Sorry been out and about for a while . Glorious post when the running works the way it did for you, it is truly a great feeling. Well done you on keeping the magic going

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Wondered where you’d been Hidden ....xx

[SuzyKK Graduate]

Loved this - & the longer warm up was good for me too!

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate in reply to SuzyKK]

Brilliant!! Glad it worked for you!!!

[Sadie-runs Graduate]

Lovely. 😘 Mama's got her groove back on. So happy to read this. And so nice to just run and run and let your thoughts go in whichever direction they do desire...

Happy running Mummycav. 🏃‍♀️👏😘

[Polly2810 Graduate]

Ah lovely post!! Yeah I like to think over my time too ...my life has been pretty uneventful really, 2 weddings 3 lovely young adults to show for it...all of them doing well in their own things...only 1 left at Home , adjusting gradually still miss having him around...but onwards and upwards, daughter gets married in 5 months so that is so exciting, can’t wait then in a few years god willing...next chapter and I will be nana!! So glad your mojo had returned 😊😊

[Wannabefit19 Graduate]

Brilliant ... running is great for thinking and memories 💖

[johnm12 Graduate]

ah what a lovely post. I have to agree that I am begining to find running very relaxing simply because of the time to think. Great metaphor "Running into your thoughts"
