So cold this morning, if it wasn’t for ParkRun I don’t know if I would have gone, well I would have bc #run1000miles in 2018 is running out of days to complete 😬, but at least at ParkRun I got to do my run with a bunch of other running lunatics😜. As usual, I tacked on some extra miles before and after, to bring up up to 6.5 miles for the day. Now time for sofa snuggles with the wild boys and bucket loads of hot coffee to get the chill out of my bones! 🥶 . . . . . #parkrun #parkrunuk #parkrunday #bushypark #bushuparkrun #5km #womensrunningcommunity #1000miles #runnersofinstagram #winterrun #coldrun #sofasnuggles #motherrunner #boymom #thismumruns #thisgirlcan #thismumcan #runningmummy #runhappy #happyrunner #lovetorun #runningmama #ukrunners #ukrunchat #fitmum #fitness #befit #enjoyeverymile
Another day of little runs - 2km after school drop and another 2km before pick up, plus an extra 2km in the evening - to bring me up to 6km for the day. When I left tonight I was a bit worried my outfit wasn’t hi-vis enough, but I forgot I had on my Karimor winter warm tights with sneaky hi-vis pattern below the knee. ❤️💁🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️ . . . . #schoolrun #schoolrunrun #schoolrunmum #workimgmum #runningmum #motherrunner #hivis #nightrunning #beseen #bright #loverunning #runhappy #fridaynightrun #friyay #winterrun #womensrunningcommunity #1000miles #thisgirlcan #runnersofinstagram #findtime #maketime #womemsrunning #run #run1000miles #everymilewillbeworthmywhile #runningmilestones #runeverywhere #thismumruns #runningmama
I wasn’t sure I’d get a run in, but I managed to eek an extra 10 minutes for me today, enabling me to run 5km on my way to pick up Ellis from school. Normally the walk to school takes 15 minutes, so I stole an extra 10 minutes of me time to be able to do this. 5km at 26 and a bit minutes 💁🏼‍♀️. Figured it was deserved after being left alone with a stir crazy (not really sick anymore) almost 4 year old, slightly crazy boy all day. 😜I also had a headache at the start of my run, and now am feeling refreshed. Bring on drinks with friends tonight, and the office tomorrow, I’m all about the balance. 😃 (photo credit: my very excellent -and patient- almost 8 year old Ellis) . . . . #schoolrun #schoolrunrun #schoolrunmum #runnersofinstagram #womensrunningcommunity #1000miles #thisgirlcan #instarunners #run1000miles #runningchallenge #workingmum #balance #metime #findtime #poundingpavements #runner #running #runhappy #loverunning #ukrunning #ukrunners #motherrunners #thismumruns #runningmum #runningmumsuk
Two little runs yesterday, after school drop, and before school pick up, 3km each (or 1.8 miles) still trying to get my head around working in miles 🤯😂. Just trying to squeeze miles in when I can, currently at 938 miles for the year, 62 to go. I don’t know if I’ll get out for a run today, as Brian is working onsite, little one is poorly, and I’ve still got a mountain to get through of work things. 😜🙈😬🤷🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️🎄 . . . . #schoolrun #schoolrunrun #run1000miles #womensrunningcommunity #runningcommunity #busytimeofyear #fittingitin #findingtime #timepoor #running #runner #motherrunner #runnersofinstagram #instarunners #1000miles #runningchallenge #fitmum #thismumruns #runningmum #thismumcan #thisgirlcan
Lovely snuggly kiddos, until they realised mummy was stinky after her run 😂. I made the effort to get to the @sweatshoprunning Teddington Monday night run. And I wasn’t disappointed, so lovely to see so many friendly faces, and ran with a buddy for 8km (another 5 miles in the bank towards run 1000 miles in 2018, and now just 65 miles to go 🎯😃🏃🏼‍♀️). I’ve been struggling to get into the groove of dark runs, but doing it in a group defo helped, as did my pretty hi-vis leggings. Check out my stories! . . . . . #run1000miles #1000miles #runningchallenge #womensrunningcommunity #runningcommunity #nightrun#darkrun #winterrunning #hivis #grouprun #stinkymummy #motherrunner #runhapppy #loverunning #5miles #runningmummy #thismumcan #fitmum #thismumruns #runnergirl #thisgirlcan #sweatshoprunningcommunity #runchat #runrunrun #nevermissamonday #instarunners #runnersofinstagram #runstagram #runningmilestones
Gentle 5km to bring me up to 930 miles for the year, 70miles to reach 1000🎯. So, sometimes on chilled out runs, I’ll stop, prop up my phone and take a short video running past. Then, afterwards at home I screen grab a picture I like and share it here on the gram. Yes, sometimes it’s a bit embarrassing 🙈, you know, running past your phone, but it’s usually over in less than a minute and I’m on my way, plus it’s also kind of a neat way to check out my running form (constant heel striker 😬). So today I stopped, set up, ran past, turned around and ran back and saw Sir Mo Farah (I’m like 99% sure), smiled, he smiled back, and that was it. Then I checked the vid and wouldn’t ya know we ran into the frame at the same time. 😃 And a million times better than the last time I saw him and was blocking the path with the buggy while he was speeding past. . . . . . #running #sirmofarah #photobomb #runstagram #instarunners #runnersofinstagram #motherrunner #sundaurunday #runday #5km #jog #jogging #gentlerun #run1000miles #runningchallenge #bushypark #runningcommunity #womensrunningcommunity #ukrunners #runhappy #lovetorun #loverunning #runrunrun #runningmilestones

Running is hard, I mean just a few weeks ago I ran 10km at 47:40 and today I struggled to run 5km at 25:07. 🤷🏼‍♀️ And I’m like why?! Mind against me? Heart not in it? Not tough enough? Legs not strong enough? I was feeling pumped at the start, and I let it slip away. Anyways, gorgeous morning, friendly ParkRun and more miles in the bank for the #run1000miles challenge. . . . . #running #parkrun#parkrunuk #bushypark #bushyparkrun #thisgirlcanrun #runnersofinstagram #womensrunningcommunity #runningcommunity #ukrunning #ukrunners #motherrunner #thismumruns #thisgirlcan #thisgirlcanrun #instarunners #lovetorun #loverunning #runwithasmile #runhappy #happyrunner #potential #parkrunday #5km #runningmummy #runningmom #runstagram #runninglife
Hi vis is everything on these dark evening runs 🌟. I actually wish this jacket was both hi vis and luminous yellow 💛. As in this lovely silver and grey combo I feel very blendy (totally a word right?) into the grey English sky 🌫 during daytime activities. But it seems women’s luminous yellow jackets are hard to come by, you know both waterproof and with a hood. 💁🏼‍♀️ and please not pink, I like pink, but feel slightly irked often my only option is pink. Anyways, 920 miles for the year, 80 to go to reach my #run1000miles target. 🎯 . . . . #runner #londonrunner #motherrunner #thisgirlcan #thismumcan #runningmummy #thismumruns #badassmotherrunner #nightrun #hisvis #runningjacket #runnersofinstagram #womensrunningcommunity #runningmom #runningchallenge #rundone #fitmum #fitness #runforfitness #runforhealthy #runhappy #lovetorun #runningmilestones #earnyourwinerun #fridaynightrun
