Hello and well done to everyone that has been running this week! Keep going!! πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ It is September and for me that means new running season and new beginnings!

I was in Spain for the summer where I discovered an impromptu aquagym class! Amazing to see hundreds of people getting together every morning to excersise πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯° The session always finishes with a hug to self, a huge clap and popular singing. Community spirit at its best!

During summer, and because of extreme heat, I also swapped the 5k runs for 1k swims and this was also an exciting new challenge for me! I really loved it and I am thinking of combining the two going forward. πŸŠβ€β™€οΈπŸŠβ€β™€οΈπŸŠβ€β™€οΈ

Back in the UK now, I did my first 5k of the season yesterday! Not without effort and at snail pace 🐌🐌🐌 but I managed to finish it! I had forgotten how hard it was!

In the photo, the community aquagym, me swimming 1km and one aquatic "ring a ring a roses" with family.
