This popped in my head a week ago. Sure others have said similar more eloquently, but it really does sum up how important running has become to me ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™Œ.

Have an awesome day! ๐Ÿ’ซ

Absolutely awesome run today! Got the idea to break 60 minutes for 10km and after a strong start I thought I might manage the PB ๐Ÿ’ช.

Smashed it! Loved it! Feeling great! ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Hope all feeling equally awesome today! ๐Ÿ’ซ

Not been the best few weeks for marathon training ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿคง. But desperately trying to keep the running habit going.

I know getting back in the habit is harder than keeping the habit, even if the run was a bit pants! ๐Ÿ˜„

Have an awesome Monday! ๐Ÿ’ซ

Rocking a killer head cold ๐Ÿค’! Came on in what seemed a few hours yesterday! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

Attempted to sweat ๐Ÿฅต it out with a run ๐Ÿ˜„. Running could be the solution to most of lifeโ€™s challenges! ๐Ÿคฃ

Have a super fab day! ๐Ÿ’ซ

Been out of it for a couple of weeks, but back on the training! Slow and steady this week, then longer and faster next! ๐Ÿ’ช

Plan came through from TCS London & very reassured Iโ€™m on the right path ๐Ÿ‘.

Have an awesome day! ๐Ÿ’ซ

I would have been a fool to push hard, but to keep going I need to stick to my plan, which means Monday is Runday ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ‘

Garmin said โ€œno!โ€ but I wonโ€™t be told what to do by a device however clever it may be!

Apparently the device had assessed my recovery correctly, & I had little to give ๐Ÿ˜ด
So a slow dawdle it was!

Have a lovely dawdle through your Monday! ๐Ÿ’ซ

Great run! The best run! ๐ŸŠ

Not ๐Ÿ’ฏ true as I missed out 1hr for 10km by 20 seconds. Annoying but pushed hard as a I could on the 2nd half.

Heart rate & pace up. Felt amazing & buzzing. Love a run I push myself! ๐ŸŒŸ

Have an amazing afternoon! ๐Ÿ’ซ

If you havenโ€™t tried running in the morning, then just for a week or 2 commit and give it a go!

I promise you wonโ€™t regret and will feel fantastic for the whole day! ๐Ÿ’ซ๐Ÿ˜„

Have an awesome Friday, whoever you are! ๐ŸŒŸ

Weโ€™ve got several of these sauna huts here now! Must actually try one at some point ๐Ÿค”.

Apparently heat exposure increases blood volume and improves endurance ๐Ÿ’ช, according David Roche on the @richroll.bsky.social podcast ๐Ÿ‘.

So itโ€™s hump day & feels a big hill. Not feeling great & yes I still went for a run & yes I will still go to work & yes I will be moaning all day about not feeling well ๐Ÿคง ๐Ÿคฃ.

Have a great hump day & keep being the awesome people you are!๐Ÿ’ซ

No video today. Legs were tired from yesterdayโ€™s effort, so a sluggish slog.

Quite warm though & the wind is much calmer. A few people out but felt empty out there.

Lots of thinking time on a Monday morning ๐Ÿค”.

Have a good day of things! ๐Ÿ’ซ

Not quite the two year PB 5km I hoped for, but best since 09/23 and 2nd best since 2021, so Iโ€™ll still take that!

Felt great and surprised myself ๐Ÿ’ช.

Have a wonderful Sunday and hope the sun is shining like it is here! ๐Ÿ’ซ

I canโ€™t even imagine! Hopefully all safe and well ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป. Very lucky along the middle of the south coast. It can get a bit funky, but always a little bit protected.

Super run with company yesterday, chatting most of the way.

Working name for my new informal, as yet unrealised, running club for positivity during the week, at 5am Wednesdayโ€™s, will be โ€˜Hump Day Harriersโ€™โ€ฆ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿคฃ

Other suggestions considered! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜„

Getting out is habit, the positivity comes out on the run ๐Ÿ˜„. So seems fair to share it around! Have an awesome run and smash those miles! ๐Ÿ’ซ๐Ÿ’ช

Honestly, I thought the same. And I still love my solo runs, but it adds a different energy going out with others, which is surprisingly refreshing.

I was always a solo runner, and still love that time with my thoughts, but Iโ€™ve also found I enjoy running with others as well! ๐Ÿ‘

Didnโ€™t get angle right but some awesome decorations out down the road yesterday! ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ™Œ
Iโ€™ll say it again, it was an awesome run! ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ ๐Ÿ’ช
Felt comfortable & pace was the best itโ€™s been for ages. Bring on London! ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ˜„
