Just had my first go as a timekeeper at parkrun! Would highly recommend it, it’s not as scary as it looks. Hope everyone is having a great morning 😊

Received a notification saying I missed a gym class and I have one strike against me! Except I *was* there… I have the DOMS and eye bags from the 5:45am alarm to prove it 😂

All this time I’ve been saying Les Mills like you would pronounce ‘Les Misérables’, and I’ve just discovered it’s named after the founder called Leslie 😑

All signed up with my running bestie; this will be our first go at an Ultra!! Very excited! 😁

Must say yesterday was really humbling. Just goes to show no two marathons are the same and whether you’ve done a couple of them before or none, there’s always a learning opportunity. Well done to all my fellow runners, we’re a resilient bunch 💪🏻

15 miles, loved it. Got v lost in the woods, accidentally joined a trail race for a bit. Asked a man for directions and if I could walk on a specific path and he said “you can do whatever you like!” which is a good mantra tbh. One of those really satisfying long runs 😎

Taper time after a very steady 32 miler yesterday. Had to stop off for extra water top ups as it was surprisingly warm! Only a little bit of aching today, I think that’s a good sign 🙌🏻

Today I’m running 50 miles!! To say I’m nervous is an understatement, but I know I’ve put the training in and I’ll get to the end 💪🏻

We did it!!! Felt like everything was against us: grouchy ankles, knees and hips, insane blisters, mud and puddle hopping/slipping, and enduring every weather you can think of. But we did it and I’m so proud of myself and my running bestie!! 50 mile ultra ✅ ✅ ✅

Medal Monday! In awe of myself and my running bestie for finishing Manchester Marathon - 2 weeks after our 50 mile ultra. The spectator support was amazing and it was so good to see some friends from our run clubs along the way!
