I squeezed in a quick workout on Thursday evening, no time for a run, but I had 7 minutes to knockout this quick workout. 💪🏻 . . . . . . #bodyweightworkout #fitness #homeworkout #fitbitcoach #happyface #happyplace #healthybodyhealthymind #getactive #fitmum #findtime #strengthandconditioning #strongrunner #motherrunner

I knew I wouldn’t have time to do any workout or run when I got home, so I hopped off my bike, at this beautiful spot and did 3 sets of: * 10 tricep dips * 10 incline pushups * 10 step ups * 10 reverse crunches * 20 mountain climbers 🚴🏼‍♀️💪🏻☀️🤗 . . . . . . . . #activecommute #cyclecommute #cyclist #richmondpark #bodyweightworkout #mountainclimbers #fitness #quickworkout #fitmum #healthybodyhealthymind #findtime #mumlife #outsideworkout #londoncommute #findtime #whynot
I signed up for this race, 2 years after I originally set my half marathon pb there, in the hopes of smashing it this year. Instead I smashed a plate on my toe 🤦🏼‍♀️, and totally derailed my training. Expectations totally revised I just wanted to go sub 2, and I just managed it. Running proudly in my @redjanuaryuk top ❤️ A great race, and check out those toilet attendants, gave me a real pre-race chuckle 😂 . . . . . . . . . @richmondrunfest #richmondrunfest #richmondrunfest2019 #halfmarathon #13point1 #thisgirlcan #thisgirlcanrun #redjanuary #mindcharity #injuredrunner #brokentoe #richmond #runhappy #sub2 #healthybodyhealthymind #motherrunner #thismumruns #runlikeamum #runningmum #runningmummy #runningmotivation #loverunning #runnersofinstagram #ukrunning #womensrunningcommunity #womensrunninguk #runnersworld #whatsnext
It’s been a long day. We started off as the ace cheering squad for @julia.lowbridge and my friend Claire, then right when we were getting into our cheering rythym @kathy_running_late whizzed past us!!! So we managed to cheer all three amazing ladies at 2 &4km and the finish! The @richmondrunfest 10km is a beaut for runners and supporters! * Cheering duties over we went to enjoy Kew Gardens, playing (not in the fancy new playground as I didn’t pre-book 🤦🏼‍♀️), then the temperate house, which was so awesome., we loved the 🦎Then on our way out we got sucked into the Hive 🐝 which is a super cool installation. * Then lunch at McDonald’s 🍟🍔, and quite a bit of time to kill in the heat before Ellis 1 mile race, which was always going to be tough after a long day on his feet in the heat, but he did amazingly, and loves the Nike T-shirt and medal 🏅!!! * Then a quick dash home to meet up with the lovely @christiewalsh3 ❤️ (which I’m so glad I didn’t totally mess up, having got my days wrong), and have a good ole catch up. I can’t believe I didn’t take any photos! . Now just to get ready for my #halfmarathon tomorrow before bed. Or maybe I’ll just conk out and dash around at the crack of dawn like a mad woman tomorrow. Most likely the latter 😂 . . . . #richmondrunfest #10km #kids1milerace #cheersquadspecators #kewgardens #motherrunner #thisgirlcanrun #runninginspiration #womensrunning #runnersofinstagram #kidsrunning #halfmarathon #myturnnext
I stopped riding on my cycle commute twice and made use of benches to add, some tricep dips, pushups, step ups, and burpees to my commute. I was planning on stopping 3 times, but I couldn’t find a 3rd bench without detouring 🤪. I was a little worried that people were watching, but quickly got over it as I struggled through the burpees! Burpees just kill me, anyone else? . . . . . #activecommute #cycle #cyclecommute #bodyweightworkout #bodyweightexercises #burpees #fitness #richmondpark #fitmum #activelifestyle #getfit #friyay #findtime #shortworkouts #healthybodyhealthymind #healthybody #healthymind #getyoursweaton #outsideworkout #fitnesswithaview
My boy ❤️ I couldn’t do the #arethusamile with Ellis, b/c @brian0macmillan was out, but Eben and I were the ace cheering team, and our boy came in 7:26 for the mile. He just gets stuck right in, with all the big kids and grown ups, and ran his little heart out. Now we have a time to beat for saturdays @richmondrunfest 1 mile kids race! . . . . . . . #teddington #1milerun #1milerace #8yearsold #runnerboy #thisboycaneun #runhappy #loverunning #proudmum #runnerofinstagram #runningfamily #runningkids #kidsthatrun #miler #milerace #ukrunning #youthrunning
Easy 5km with @teddingtonsweatshop running group and a lovely natter with a friend. It didn’t quite make my headache from the trials-of-Monday 🤯 go away, but I’m happy I went and did something for me. Spot my mismatched socks 🙈🤷🏼‍♀️? . . . . . . . #running #nevermissamonday #grouprun #womensrunningcommunity #womensrunninguk #thismumruns #thisgirlcan #thisgirlcanrun #sweatshoprunningcommunity #src #runningfriends #mismatchedsocks #runnersofinstagram #motherrunner #runningmum #runningmummy #runlikeamom #loverunning #runhappy #outsiderun #teddington #5krun #fitgotreal #halfmarathon #halfmarathontraining #runr #ukrunning #ukrunner
Back to that Sunday long run routine, well I thought I better given @richmondrunfest half is next weekend. Not even sure I’ll go sub-2 given the pace of today’s run, but at least I know I’ll get around. Super pretty this afternoon, and a lovely late afternoon treat to listen to my audio book. Less nice... underarm chaff, which has never ever happened before, but hurt like hell 😬. Conkers found on run, and brought home for boys, and they were supremely happy. Win-win! . . . . . . #running #runner #lsr #longslowrun #longrun #sundaylondrun #richmondpark #runnersofinstagram #halfmarathon #halfmarathontraining #lastlongrun #motherrunner #thismumruns #allsznrunner #runhappy #loverunning #10miler #10milerun #thisgirlcanrun #runningmotivation #runningmum
