The Medal Board Is Finished 🏅❤️

[AliHC]

Good afternoon everyone 😊 I haven't posted for a little while, but I have been running (LOTS) 😂

I've been keeping myself busy by finishing off DIY projects, including my medal board, restoring a few bits of antique furniture, squirrel watching 🐿️ and loads of running 🏃🏼‍♀️

I still have no idea of when I will be able to go back to work or even if we'll have a business to go back to, but my spirits are high 😊

Hope everyone is fit and well and enjoying their running! ❤️

Well done Ali you're definitely a running queen with a drill in one hand and a screwdriver in the other 👍👍

Thank you Hidden 🤣 Hope all is good with you x

We're all alive and well I'm taking that as a positive Ali 👍 we've just been informed the girls are starting back to school on the 29th of June, we wait for more information on the timetable etc..... But as much as I've loved having more us time it means, I'll be free to run more, as it seems there's always something that takes priority 🤔🤨.

Your mobile vintage clothes shop sounds like a fantastic idea, I hope it kicks off for you and you never know..... From small acorns as they say👍👍

[AliHC Marathon in reply to Hidden]

Thank you again Hidden ❤️

It seems like you've got a bit of a change about to happen. And wherever there's a Yin, there's always a Yang ☯️

Are the girls looking forward to going back? I've definitively got my son at home with us until he goes back to uni at the end of September, which I'm happy about 😊 but his year of studying in Japan and Australia is definitely off 😢

I'm just going with the flow and seeing what happens next. As long as there's running involved, I don't care what happens 🤣

[Hidden in reply to AliHC]

I guess they're kinda glad in their own little teenager way, they were worried Incase friends weren't returning but so far so good. They've stuck to studying at home albeit relaxed and hmmmm the odd late bedtime. But the routine will kick back in eventually.

They probably won't do full weeks, I'm guessing it'll be 2 or 3 days a week so to allow all the children the chance to get in.... It sucks that your son will miss his travel year that sounds amazing ✈️🌍🌎

What a great positive, uplifting post. And an absolutely super medal board. Go you!!! Whatever the future holds I feel sure you'll be making the most of it 👊😊

Thank you linda9389 ❤️

Forgot to mention I've bought a camper van and I've started selling all my vintage clothes that I've never worn and collected over the years! 🤣 Hope all is good with you? X

[AliHC Marathon in reply to SaskAlliecat]

Thank you so much SaskAlliecat ❤️

Hope all is well with you xx

I’m doing well. I just did my Banff virtual HM on Saturday. It was slower than my last one by a couple minutes but I really struggled with getting the runs in this go around. Time for a little break from any plans and time to just run for the shear fun of it. I’m looking forward to it.

[AliHC Marathon in reply to SaskAlliecat]

Ah well done with your HM! 🏅

I've managed to put most worries aside and I'm quite enjoying the change of pace of life at the moment 😊 I've never had so much 'ME TIME' 😂 and family time! And as for running time! I can't get enough of it 🤣

Hope you enjoy your break from your plans and really enjoy those runs just because you can! ❤️

Take care xxx

Aaah well done Allie, really pleased for you...never mind speed, HM distance is something to be very proud of.💪

Fab piece of running (and training)

🌻👌xxx

You're very clever. That's lovely!

[AliHC Marathon in reply to C3PO]

Thank you C3PO ☺️ I love a bit of DIY 🤣 Hope you're well xx

[Hidden]

I love your medal board, very creative and a great way to showcase your awesome running. Those PBs are fab, especially the fm compared to hm, brilliant.

[AliHC Marathon in reply to Hidden]

Thank you Hidden ❤️

The FM was a bit Forrest Gump! I just kept running 🤣 I've done a faster HM since that one too 😂

Hope all is going well with you? X

[Hidden in reply to AliHC]

You are a really strong runner there, amazing achievements. I'm ticking over at about the hm distance, every month I try and get 13 miles done. My PB was at the big half, 2hr 05 on strava or 2hr 10 event time. I'm not sure where to go now though. I was supposed to do RTTK day 2 30 miles but it was deferred to next year. Another fm seems possible, maybe bettering my 5hr 17. The new forest is still on for september and a friend is running it.......🤔 food for thought!

[AliHC Marathon in reply to Hidden]

Thank you again Hidden ☺️

I'm starting to believe I'm a runner now 😂

Your HM time is pretty impressive! I'm sure you'll smash your FM time by a long chalk!

I like the sound of the New Forest Half! Certainly is good for thought!

Good luck with your plans 🍀
