Miles for Mind is virtual running campaign for the charity โ€œMINDโ€ and all proceeds go to this good cause. You choose your distance then run from 1st - 31st May and if you succeed and reach your total you will receive your winning medal ๐Ÿฅ‡

Iโ€™m in!! No top... but a willing heart... and have recruited three friends to do it too!! How shall we stay in touch with one anotherโ€™s progress? X

Yaaay!! Iโ€™ve worked until late tonight... so first run tomoz. Then on holiday to Spain on Saturday... googled run routes in San Sebastiรกn (where weโ€™re going) and itโ€™s known as The City of Running!!! (Iโ€™d booked it for the cava and tapas!!). The tourism website even has a whole running/run routes section!! Guess what Iโ€™ll be doing when Iโ€™m there... ๐Ÿ˜Š

Sounds lovely ! May have to run at the crack of dawn before the temperatures soar...you can then enjoy the vino and tapas !

Hope the run goes well tomorrow and enjoy your hols (pic of the scenery is compulsory please) ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ“ทโ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿท ๐Ÿ–

Yes, re the heat... (except forecast predicts rain too!!) But had thought maybe early evening running, pre vino etc ๐Ÿ˜‰! No one seems to go out there until 10pm anyway - eek! Promise to share pix x

Well done you! Mental health charities mean a lot to me and come close to home.

Have you got loads to sponsor you? How does it work? ๐Ÿ˜Š

Such a great charity who do amazing work...so you choose your distance for the month and pay a fee to enrol, you can also fundraise through Just Giving and then just run, once you complete your distance for the month, email across your proof (Garmin/Strava) and get your bling sent to you ๐Ÿฅ‡

Howโ€™s the running going? Iโ€™ve still not been out since IC. I need someone to give me some enthusiasm again. ๐Ÿ˜•

I have to force myself out there as Iโ€™m not a natural runner but once done I feel good.

Iโ€™m out early in the morning 0530am before work (yes slightly insane)

So......

Get your lycra ready for tomorrow and put those runners on again....you will feel so much better !!!

Your first run in ages but will be worth it doesnโ€™t have to be a long one.

Iโ€™m expecting to see a post soon๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ

โ€ข in reply toRunRunRun13

Hmmm. Thank you for the support ๐Ÿ˜Š.

Ok. I think Iโ€™m going to do it! Hopefully I wonโ€™t split my leggings open ๐Ÿ˜ฎ. That would not be a good first run back. Mind you at that time there wonโ€™t really be anybody about!

In all seriousness I will try get out. Itโ€™s difficult doing it on your own sometimes.

Ha ha ! Split leggings would be a memorable one....no one is awake anyway at that time !!! โฐ

I always run on my own as donโ€™t really want to have a chat whilst running - can just about breathe properly let alone talk and rather sing along to the songs I listen to (in my head - no one deserves that !) ๐ŸŽง

Just think we will be both a couple of lunatics running far too early in the morning ๐Ÿ˜‚ so you wouldnโ€™t be alone !

โ€ข in reply toRunRunRun13

Haha yeah it would!

Are you off out tomorrow? 5:30 again? What if itโ€™s raining? ๐Ÿ˜ฌ am I making excuses?!? Maybe I should go in my swimming trunks If itโ€™s raining ๐Ÿ˜‚ then there would definitely be no excuse.

I ran last night and out tomorrow morning.....yes your making excuses Dave ๐Ÿ˜‚ get your swimming trunks, lycra, knee high socks and yellow high vis ready now thatโ€™s an outfit ! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜ณ

โ€ข in reply toRunRunRun13

๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜ณ now that would be a scary sight first thing in the morning.
