  • 👋🏼 HELLO THERE 👋🏼 How is everyone doing? Time seems to be ticking along fast with no real plans at all. However, I’ve tried to remain positive with our recent circumstances. Trying to keep myself busy with work & things that I’ve not got round to whilst I was actually working in person 😅 • Times can be tough & sometimes you might not be feeling so positive. It can be an over-whelming time for many of you & it’s ok to feel down about the situation that we’re in 😔 • Just remember, it is ok to feel sad/angry/disappointed/neglected & all of the above. It is testing times... and for all those who are feeling ok about this, reach out to those friends & family that you haven’t spoken to in a while. Be the person that could change their day & pass on that positivity. I know that I have enjoyed keeping in contact with my loved ones. It has definitely made it all a little easier! 💜 • • Today was yoga & meditation day which was highly NEEDED. I am loving my virtual sessions as it breaks up my day 🙏🏻 What are you loving about lockdown at the moment? 🙃
  • Sunday Funday, the perfect time for a run. For the 26th day of the Walk it Out Challenge I got a nice 30 minute fun run in with the help of the peloton app. • • What are you doing for your 20 minutes of movement on this fine day? • • Today would have marked the 40th London Marathon, and if you are a runner or spectator that is a bit bummer that it’s not happening it is ok and understandable. Running road races may be postponed/cancelled for now, but running and walking on your own isn’t. Stay active and optimistic as we will be back outdoors eventually when it’s appropriate. For now STAY HOME & STAY SAFE!
  • 🏃🏼‍♀️ LONDON MARATHON 🏃🏼‍♀️ Today was meant to be their 40th event, which would of been another hot day for us 🌞 Me and this race have unfinished business... getting the ballot place for this years race was such a blessing 🙏🏻 • We will meet again @londonmarathon & I can’t wait to give it everything that I have got 🇬🇧 • • • • • #londonmarathontraining #londonmarathon #londonmarathon2020 #londonmarathon2018 #londonmarathonballot #london #throwback #raceday #macmillancancersupport #charity #family #runners #runnergirl #runnersofinstagram #ukrunchat #instarunners #runfam #runningblogger #runningmotivation #runningcommunity #sunnyday #sundayrunday #training #runners_of_insta #fitnessblogger #lipstickandtrainers #runhappyteam2020
  • 🏃🏼‍♀️ CHALLENGE 🏃🏼‍♀️ There are plenty of challenges going ahead at the moment. Take part if you feel like you need something to give you that burning motivation, otherwise, just enjoy doing what you’re doing! 🏃🏼‍♂️ • However, tomorrow would have been my first marathon of the year in London, so I have been reminiscing on my running journey 🚘 • It would have been fantastic to run the marathon tomorrow, but instead, we can run the 2.6 challenge. @londonmarathon want us to run/walk/juggle (anything, you name it!) with those special numbers in mind. Run 2.6 miles or KM. Run for 26 minutes, or hopscotch 26.2 times! 😆 • Whatever you may want to do, go out there & enjoy the 2.6 challenge. If you can donate to charity, then do so but let’s just enjoy the basics. Who’s joining in? 🙌🏻
  • This Fitness Friday is dedicated to my sister, who has begun to love the gym but now has to workout at home. We were meant to be going to her hen do in a couple of weeks which she is gutted about as it has been postponed (like many other events). So here is a workout for all those who have missed their own hen do’s or are missing the gym. Or for anyone wanting a bodyweight HIIT session to add to the list!

  • 🇬🇧#LONDONMARATHON🇬🇧 Thought I’d jump on the bandwagon with my #ThrowbackThursday by getting out the @londonmarathon snaps📸 • This was around mile 16, the #paincave moment, as I like to call it. Mile 16-18 has always been my least favourite part of the marathon (as it is for most!)😖 • It is where the mind starts to wander & the dark cloud sneaks in. You are starting to feel it in the legs & you try to imagine what running another 8-10 miles will feel like😯 • However, the magic starts soon after. You hit that 20 mile mark & you break through those negative thoughts, so that you can continue. It’s not easy but it’s all ‘downhill’ from there. You’re closer to the finish line, than ever before & THIS is the bit I love about THE MARATHON🙌🏻 Yeah, I must be sick in the head, I know. I can’t believe I’m actually saying it!😆 • The marathon is being alone with yourself & your thoughts. It is learning about your body. It is meeting strangers who are feeling the same as you do. It’s sharing the last of your sweets with a random runner who may be needing it more than you. It’s hearing your name being called out from the sidelines & having to grimace a smile through the pain in your legs. It’s thinking “fuck, I should of put more sun cream on/brought more gels“ miles away from the end. It’s saying, “I KNOW what I need to do next time” before you’ve even finished. It’s saying “I won’t be doing that EVER again” once you’ve crossed the finish line; knowing that there’s another marathon you want to crack next. It’s the tears streaming down your face as you think of your loved ones, past & present. It’s for the amount of money that you have raised for charity, a charity so dear to your heart. It’s for the pint you sink with your friends that gets you drunk in about 2 seconds. It’s for the 3-day DOMS that make you feel PROUD of your achievements. It is for the person you thought you’d never be. The person that you ARE. For the incredible journey that you have embarked on🙂 • • The marathon isn’t easy, but it is a fantastic moment to have after months of training hard💪🏼 • Who will be running their first marathon when we’re able to race again?🏃🏼‍♂️ #runnersofinstagram
