Day 1543 a 7.3km run before work!

Uncategorized 2 Minutes

I was out for the count again last night… an amazing sleep until someone woke me up to ask what time I was going running!!?! To be fair he was only 5 minutes before the alarm. 😆

I felt exhausted but I got up and was out the door by 5.45am.

I was both terrified and excited when we set off. I knew we were going for 7kms.

It was just Claire, Lynsey and I this morning.

It was a beautiful start to the day. The next few photos are Claire’s…..

I don’t carry my phone when I run…. It just adds to my weight 😆

I had a really good run. I struggled, I find it really hard but I love it at the same time. I had to walk a couple of times to try to regulate my breathing but my head was strong. Despite being behind the girls for a fair bit of the way, I’m telling myself I CAN when I feel like I can’t. I managed to run up a couple of hills that I thought I’d never do. To be fair the girls are a great support talking me through it.

They ran back to me at the end to let me finish “first!”….. by the time I finished my heart rate hit a high of 180 as I tried to push through to the end!

The stone was lovely and cool on my face 🤦🏻‍♀️😆

Here we all are….

I don’t even have a red face in that photo but trust me… I was BEETROOT!!!

The sweat was pouring out of me by the time I got in but I only had a half hour to get showered and out the door for work. I love the cold shower!!

I checked my stats when I got to work.

While I know this is the longest distance I’ve run…. It’s also the fastest pace.

I am sooooo proud of myself. ♥️

If you’d told me I’d be able to run this distance….and love it at the same time… I’d never have believed you!

I’m so pleased with the splits but you can see where the hills kick in!

It was a lovely morning but the rain moved in just after lunch and it was torrential on the drive home. Such a difference from last night where I sat outside in the sun until 8.30pm!

Tonight I’m wrapped up in my cozy comfies, in a blanket in front of the tv.

I made a lovely dinner again. Spicy tofu with oyster mushrooms on a wrap

It was really tasty.

So not much else to report….. oh apart from Craig took Calaidh to Portencross today, in between jobs and captured her and the PS Waverley in the distance…. It made my day! I’ll try to link to it here….

I can’t but I’ve linked it to this FB page and it’s the last post.

  1. Your meal looks lovely and a good achievement to be proud of as always with your running.
    It was nice to see Khaleesi running about on your lawn, when I popped over to the Facebook link.

    1. Thank you! Oh I’m so glad you got to see her. She’s doing well but not putting any weight on it really. I had no idea you wrote a blog Liz, don’t know how I missed that!!!

      1. She’s really done well bouncing back from her op literally. I wasn’t expecting her running about just yet. So yes, it was lovely to see. 😊

        On a blogging break this month with originally only 2 posts planned this month. But I created an extra one on the 5th. And just popping in a few times this month on WordPress for a short while. 😊

      2. Ah ok, sorry no idea how I missed that you wrote a blog! We are a bit worried that we maybe had her doing too much but she seemed ok. She should have been walking on it properly by now and she’s not. We can’t change it now only take more care moving forward. Enjoy your hiatus!!

      3. You have commented in the past if I remember right on one or two occasions. But it’s been a while, so I can’t remember which post/s it was.

      8. Liz is a super experienced blogger compared to us two who started around the same time in ? 2020.. me in February and you shortly after I think. Liz had already been blogging for years and was the first to ever read and like my blog and taught me how to reply to comments as I hadn’t got a clue 🤣🤣, so very grateful to her for this X

    1. Thank you. I am so proud of the running as I’ve always believed it is the ultimate weight loss and I think it’s good to have my heart rate up like that at least once a week. You know me… it’s my latest phase! I seem to have slipped on the inspired action already so I’m using the exercise as yesterday’s. I’ve been so tired this last week that my mind just needs silence 😆😘 xx

  6. The King is a meanie(!), the Queen always gave us residents a free pass. Some locals are saying we should still be able to access the grounds at least due to some historic legal covenant to access the land or something.. X
