Still can't quite believe this is happening in April!! 🙈😍 9 years of entering the ballot and I finally made it!

Putting it here as a reminder for all the times I don't feel like heading out for a run, which is almost every time, for when I'm too exhausted to keep up with training, and hoping it motivates me to not give up.

Very very excited to run alongside thousands of incredible runners who have also put in the hundreds of hours of training. Already know I'll be crying the whole way round 🥹 We've got this! ❤️

Had 30 mins and wanted to make it count, inspired by the New York marathon yesterday ✨️ Thought I might throw up around 3.5k 🫠 according to Strava though it's only my 2nd fastest 5k so well done pre-kids me for apparently running even faster than this at some point! We continue to push for the ultimate prize that is a Strava PB 🙏

Night running... Where to start 😂 relieved its done, proud of that 10k but will absolutely be avoiding dark runs by myself as much as possible! 👻

This is the main thought that gets me out the door when life feels too busy and exhausting to train 🙏 grateful and lucky to get to do this!

Changing up the training for half term with a beautiful hike up Pen y Fan, carrying 14kg of toddler weight for some of it 🫠⛰️

Lovely views until the weather got a bit too spicy for the kids and we had to get back down the mountain asap 🙃

I really wasn't feeling it this morning and almost didn't go but thanks to my support team (husband kicking me out the door and kids shouting DO 10K MUMMY) that's 7.6km done ✅️

Did I enjoy it? Not hugely. Am I glad I went out? OBVIOUSLY yes. Note to future self don't overthink it just stop being a little wimp and go 🫡

Windy and wet and almost a PB! 🙏

Apart from a bug in the eye at 8km that was a great run 🤝 not a fan of the cold but running in these autumn colours is pretty nice!

10.24km | 6:29/km | 1h6m

There's just something special about running in the rain ✨️

4 weeks until the Bristol trail half so 3 weeks to keep it consistent and then a nice little taper week 👌
