A little London Marathon anecdote... Before I ran it for the first time in 2014, a friend advised me to print my name on the top I was intending to wear. "People will see it and cheer for you," they said. So it proved. I can't tell you how many times I heard my name shouted

🚨 BACK-TO-BACK 🚨 Tigst Assefa has retained her title at the London Marathon and she's beaten her own women's only world record in the process! 👏

Well done 👏👏👏🥳👏

My take home from watching today’s marathon & cheering Ololade Mrs Money ✨ on is to do something bigger than yourself. Seeing people run for different causes was both beautiful & inspiring. The atmosphere? Electric. People cheering on their loved ones & strangers alike. Pure class.

I walked to London and ran the marathon without any sleep. We’ve raised £50822 I’m kind of lost for words I am ok too! Just gonna have a soak Thank you 🥹 Dementia UK justgiving.com/fundraising/mk…

I recall booking a room in Florence this time last year & paying an extra £25 for “a room with a view,” & how underwhelmed I was with the view 😭😂 Another hotel trying to sell courtyard view & balcony to me for additional £50 and £25 per night respectively & I said no. 🙂‍↔️

I’m not sleeping in a hotel I don’t like. I’d rather stay at home.

Forever a morning run person. I feel like when I don’t do it before my day starts on run days, it keeps hovering over my head like a “to-do,” & I am not truly settled until I go for a run. 😅

We've officially arrived in the Top 3 best months. 1. May – Bank Holidays, longer days, perfect balance of warmth without it being too hot. 2. June – Peak sunshine, summer energy & everything just feels alive. 3. July – Full on summer mode, festivals, holidays & long evenings.

Bananas are such convenient fruits like no chopping or washing needed, not sticky, no juice dripping around and they come with their own biodegradable packaging. A 10/10 in my books

It's quite exciting and a beautiful experience overall.

Of all the many ideas I had, this wasn’t one, but I couldn’t have asked for a better birthday. 😍🥰

Finished my degree so celebrated by running a half marathon solo ✅🎓🏃‍♀️ A nice way to end three years of living in Manchester where I started running again during first year

So glad I chose to do an outdoor run despite not knowing this city. The cutest thing was a stranger smiling at me in admiration & finishing it off with a clap, like “Go girl! Could never be me.” Sure smiled back & gave a thumbs up. 😂

City hopped today. Liverpool. Beautiful city.

NEXT STOP: BUDAPEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Running isn't just about the finish line, it's about the person you become during the miles no one sees. 🏃‍♂️

The biggest challenge arriving in Birmingham New Street is figuring out how to find the right exit.
