Monday night chit chat run with a friend, if you can’t tell by my forehead 😂 it was a hot and sweaty run 💦☀️ . . . . . #nevermissamonday #stravarun #runchat #runningfriends #runningwithfriends #runningbuddy #runtogether #runnersofinstagram #motherrunner #runningmum #fitness #runningmotivation #runningcommunity #womensrunningcommunity #sweatisjustfatcrying
Sweatshop 5km handicap race, and Ellis and I did it together. Very kindly some of the @sweatshoprunning crew looked after my Eben while we ran. Ellis ran a super time (his last ParkRun was 29:45, so 28:04 today was amazing)! So how does a handicap race work? well based on your expected finish time, you have a delayed start. Ours was 7 minutes 15 seconds after the first ppl set off. The idea is that it evens the playing field, and anyone could win. So nice to catch up with friends, and I’m so thankful for the help with Eben while @brian0macmillan is away, so that I can still do a few of the things (like running) that keep me sane 🤗. . . . . #proudmummy #runnerboy #parkrun #5kmrun #3milerun #handicaprace #run #running #sundayrunday #runday #runningfriends #runningkeepsmesane #healthybodyhealthymind #seasonbest #runningwithkids #runningmotivation #runninginspiration #runningcommunity #motherrunner #likemotherlikeson #runnersofinstagram #runstagram #runhappy #loverunning #runoutside #sweatshoprunningcommunity #srcteddington #teddington
First time volunteers at @bushyparkrun and we were the marshals at the last position before the finish, an important job to give runners that final bit of encouragement to push through to the end 🙌🏻. It was a long stint, but the boys did great, Eben taking up chief high-fiver duties, while Ellis and I clapped and cheered. It was so lovely to see so many friends running amazingly including @julia.lowbridge and @me_and_my_running ‘s Seth running his 100th 🎉 So happy we finally volunteered, it was a great way to be involved 🤗 when I couldn’t run due to @brian0macmillan being away on a golf jolly 🙄. Now for the rest of the weekend to get through, wish me well behaved children 😇 and not terrors 🐒. . . . . . #highvisheroes #parkrun #parkrunuk #parkrunday #loveparkrun #parkrunvolunteer #parkrunmarshall #runmarshall #giveback #soloparenting #running #runners #runnersofinstagram #bushypark #bushyparkrun #teddington #loverunning #tunhsppy #runningcommunity
He’s just so ❤️❤️❤️. Start middle, and finishing stretch of Ellis’ 2km handicap race with @ranelaghharriers @stragglers_running_club and I thought we’d represent our lovely local @sweatshoprunning teddington #runningcommunity with our yellow t-shirts 💛 He did great tonight, with such a big handicap bc he’s so speedy, no idea time yet, but so proud for giving his all to it. 🏃‍♂️ . . . . . . #runnerboy #futurealthlete #youngrunner #youthathletes #loverunning #runhappy #clubrun #grouprun #kidsrunning #2kmrun #kidsrun #src #sweatshoprunningcommunity #teddington #richmond #ranelaghharriers #stragglersrunningclub #runnersofinstagram
Morning cycle commute 🚴🏼‍♀️ and evening run commute 🏃🏼‍♀️, I’m pretty tired now, but happy. Lots of deer, sunshine, clouds, and a lovely temperature, now to eat all the food!!! ☀️🤗🦌🙌🏻 . . . . . #cycle #run #cyclecommute #runcommute #activecommute #londoncommute #fitness #runner #running #thisgirlcan #thisgirlcanrunning #runnerofinstagram #cyclistsofinstagram #beactive #loverunning #runhappy #runningmum #thismumruns #motherrunner #workingmum #findtimeforyourself #fitnessmotivation #runningcommunity #womensrunning #womensrunningcommunity
Beautiful evening ☀️🦌🌳 for a run in @royalbushypark with @sweatshoprunning #teddington run club. Started off slow, while my brain and body woke up from a long day in the office, and finished fast once I loosened up and some music spurred me on🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️Happy Monday everyone. . . . . . #sweatshoprunningcommunity #src #nevermissamonday #run #runner #running #motherrunner #thismumruns #thisgirlcanrun #thisgirlcanrun #runhappy #mondayrun #grouprun #runwithfriends #runningmotivation #runningcommunity #womensrunningcommunity #ukrunning #runningmum #fitness #runnersofinstagram #runningfriends #runstagram #runr #rundone #healthybodyhealthymind
I was looking forward to this day, the first Sunday of the month, aka Bushy Junior ParkRun day. And it was a wet, drizzly affair. Still great for the kids to get out, stretch their legs, see and run with friends. Eben was very enthusiastic about the warm-up so I had high hopes, but he wasn’t feeling it, so we sprinted like mad for 2-5 seconds, and then froze and stopped dead. Sorry for anyone directly behind us 😳. Until I coaxed him into a walk again 😂, and we repeated the process. Ellis ran with a friend, and had a natter the whole way around. That’s my boy. Runnings not all about times, it’s about having fun too 🤗 . . . . . . #juniorparkrun #juniorparkrunuk #bushyjuniorparkrun #bushypark #parkrun #loveparkrun #runningwithkids #runnerboy #runchat #runningwithfriends #itsnotallabouthowfast #runforfun #fitkids #fitfam #fitfamily #beactive #movemore #runningfamily #loverunning #runhappy #futureathlete #runningforfitness #runnersofinstagram
There are two local races that I kept on hearing about, the Cabbage Patch 10 Miler and the Turks Head 10km. So when a friend said she had 10 places for the Turks Head and if we joined her Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA) charity team we could run, I jumped at the chance, not only to help a friend out and raise money for a worthwhile cause❤️, but also to do one of the must-do local races. Read my latest blog to find out what happened when my training plan flew out the window 😬, what happens when you go to a wedding the day before a race 😴, and why you should also consider running more smaller local races🙌🏻!
