As I can’t run, let me introduce myself to quite a few new followers I’ve got these past few weeks 👋🏼🥰.
I’m Mandy, someone who said they’d never run.
I usually try to do weight training but the past couple of years I’ve not been very consistent 🙈 then I got tendinitis in my elbow and shoulder which stopped me completely.

So I decided to walk to lose some weight and help with what is probably perimenopausal symptoms 😅. Then one day I decided to run on the treadmill … and my couch to 5k began!

So I’m now about 4 months into my running journey, where I’m still learning but love following everyone else’s journeys too 😁

Also I do not look like this! I’m usually a red and sweaty mess! 🥵🤣🤣

Much love a complete stranger ❤️

(Also absolutely terrified to post this, so I’m gonna post it 🫣)

Proud of my recent runs! 🙌🫶🏼

It’s not easy when there’s a worry I’ll cause myself more issues with my knee, but I seem to be out the other side of injury!

2 more weeks and then half marathon training begins!!! 💪🏼😏😮‍💨

And even more dancing! 💃 😂😂😂

Happy Sunday my peeps! 🫶🏼

My FIRST ever time in a gym doing legs at the ripe old age of 42 😅🫣😮‍💨. (I think I’ve been twice for arms 😂)

Huge thank you to @stewartclaire.cs for showing me ALL the machines and not so much for the Ab workout at the end 😬😂

Will I go back on my own…. Probably not 🤣.

And yes I’m like a bloody rainbow 🌈 ✌🏼oh and I left my mark 🍑

Today’s run 🏃🏻‍♀️ proper update for the grid! 😄

Week 2 and run 2 of my return to running plan!

Knee is holding steady with the slight niggle but the running actually seems to make it feel better after 🤷🏻‍♀️.

And 2nd fastest 1km!! Not bad for a walk/run 😅😂

DOUBLE BUBBLE! Little run and arms sesh! My body really didn’t want to but it did! 💪🏼

Left shoulder told me to stop, we don’t want any more injuries 🙄. Tried some assisted pull ups too but today was not the day 🫣😅

Week 2 of my Runna back from injury plan so it felt odd only running a short distance, but then I remember I couldn’t do this back in May! 🙌

Also had to dance around the kitchen for you because I think I’m a star ⭐ 🤣🤣🤣

Happy whatever day it is! I’ve had too many days off now to know 🤣
