Hello everyone…excuse my absence over the last couple of weeks but I’ve been on the most beautiful cruise around the Caribbean…and the first thing I packed was…yes, you guessed it…my running stuff…because that’s what I always do but I was on my graduation run so there was no way I couldn’t do that one while I was away…
The sun rose at 6:15 and I was on my balcony stretching and taking in the view…just sea…but it was fascinating…I have stared at the sea for hours over the last couple of weeks!!!! I was secretly hoping to see a whales tail or at least some dolphins but it was just flying fish that I saw while we were sailing…anyway…back to the running…
After my stretches I got myself out into the corridor and descended the stairs to deck 9 where the running track is…there were a few other people around, mostly walkers…and me…I’d taken my headphones so I could listen to some driving instructor podcasts while I was away (I never switch off honestly 🙄 ) so it was just me and my coach Steve and the Caribbean Sea…it whizzed by…effortless…except for the heat…woo I was sooooo glad I hadn’t waited any longer because before I knew it the temperature was 33 degrees and anyone who knows me on here knows that me, running in the heat is an absolute no no….i can be seen from space at the best of times!!! When I got to the end of my run I was so pleased with myself…1 because I’d finished the programme again and 2 because I’d found it quite easy…I do need to have more faith in myself!!!
So after a quick shower it was shore day & we were heading for a beach in St Kitts where I had a very unexpected swim with a turtle, some stingrays and a massive fish that made eye contact with me to which I promptly made my way back to the sand!!!
Happy running everyone…there’s nothing better than a holiday run 😉 now I need to get back into my running routine and run off all the gorgeous food I’ve eaten!!!
Thought I’d share one of the beautiful sunsets with you all x

Thank you Annieapple …it’s good to be back..although this miserable weather is not helping!!!

Proper contrast from my last run!!! X

Hahaha..I def spent a lot of time in the sea it was so inviting!! Thank you Folkylass it was wonderful..and lovely to have special time with my family xx
Oh, dear, I am SO sorry you had to suffer this! I can't imagine the agonies of having to be on a cruise in the Caribbean and being forced to run and then relax with the views and the sea, and the sun and the trips and the luxuries. Poor you! Thoughts, condolences (& congratulations)!
👏Well done and what a gorgeous photo Mummycav ! I may be a cold- weather runner at heart but I cannot deny a feeling of envy at your lovely holiday! Hope you are having a fab time?🙂
My sister has also recently trained as a Driving Instructor, so I know what an undertaking that is - hope you are enjoying it? Good luck with the runs - we do keep on going, don’t we!🙂🏃♀️
A bit late, but congratulations on completing C25K again (I’m on my 4th attempt)! And what a fabulous way to do it! Beautiful sunsets, flying fish, turtles and inquisitive fish ! I know when I’ve been diving that they’re quite happy to come right up in your face to give you a good stare! Sorry about the rainy welcome back you’ve had but what memories! Hope the car gets better soon as well!

Week 4 Run 2 (i.e. halfway to Graduation!!)
Graduate fights the blues- week 2 again
Week 5 Run 2 (second time round). Same thought - 5 mins in middle is more than enough to recover!
Balmy weather for the middle of November 🍁☀️🍂
Graduation 👩🏼🎓🏆🏃🏼♀️🤪❤️🙌🏼
