August 2024

Hello September!! Went out running this morning to nail those final miles and simply say ‘au revoir’ to August!! A nine mile run in the sun and 80 miles completed! Tomorrow I start a fresh and try to complete ninety more…. ๐Ÿƒ๐ŸŽฝ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿ™Œ #RunningForBoo #CoeliacDisease #SummerChallenge #KeepingItGoing

A tough 8 mile run today which I finished off with Betsy-Boo! ๐Ÿ˜๐ŸŽฝ๐Ÿƒ I’m absolutely knackered and haven’t found it easy running the majority of August mileage this week! Since Sunday, I’ve run 50 miles! I need to run 9 more miles to reach my total of 80 miles for August – I may be a day late in finishing the 80, but tomorrow #IWillDoThis!!๐Ÿคž

My running #Motivation! ๐Ÿ˜๐ŸŽฝ๐Ÿƒ Betsy-Boo got me out again this evening for a coffee date in Starbucks! #NeedTheCaffeine and really need this kind of motivation plus always enjoy my #BestGirls company… ๐Ÿค— Another 4 miles in the bag and I now have 24 miles left to run for August! So that’s a total of 56 miles run this month. I’m feeling proud of that as I’ve not been feeling my best and to be honest I just haven’t enjoyed running this month. Looking forward to welcoming in September with lots of school runs, company and motivational chats! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿคž

A lunch time 6 mile run today around Badshot Lea and Runfold! Loved to get out and get some fresh air but also feel like I’m starting to achieve this month. I don’t care if I don’t finish the mileage for August until early September as long as I get #TheJobDone and stay healthy, fit and motivated which has been a real struggle this month. So that’s 28 miles left to run in August and a total of a 122 miles run since the beginning of July. #HappyWithThat! ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿƒ๐ŸŽฝ

8 miles run today! ๐ŸŽฝ๐ŸƒNot sure how I managed it as I am so tired. However, I’m determined to not let myself down this month. Having an injury plus not feeling myself haven’t helped my cause over the last few weeks and to be honest it has all felt a bit too much. I knew that this was going to be a hard challenge but I underestimated how much I dislike the heat and how much I am putting my aging body through. Going to look into getting a sports massage and treat myself to some new shoes! I also need to pace myself better – a goal for next month! So that’s 34 miles left to run for August! #NotGivingUp!๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ™ƒ๐Ÿƒ

Managed to get back out for my second run of the day! My motivation which was well needed was my NEW, Bright orange, Coeliac UK running vest! ๐Ÿ˜๐ŸŽฝ๐Ÿƒ So that’s another 6 miles run (9 miles today!) and 42 left to run for August!! I will be pushing to make it before Sunday but I’m going to try my hardest to do this and get the #JobDone!! ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ™ƒ๐Ÿƒ

Need to #getrunning! Well being with injury, illness and a holiday! So I got back out there to fight and nailed 8 miles running home from a lovely day at mother-in-laws. So that’s got the mileage up a bit! ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿƒ๐ŸŽฝ

Really struggling with the heat and injury this month but got to push on! With the help of Betsy-Boo I managed 5 and a half miles today taking my total mileage to 21 this month so far! I’m way behind where I wanted to be but need to take it easy and start to build on 5 mile runs! A couple of rest days and then I’m going to start picking up the mileage and #KeepRunning through August! #FingersCrossed! ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿ™ƒ๐ŸŽฝ

Early morning run to get in some mileage after a fall and sprained ankle this week! ๐Ÿ™ƒ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿƒ I felt like the Queen of the castle having #farnhampark play area all to myself and that spider looked even scarier without little monsters climbing all over it!! 6 miles in the bag, so that’s just 259miles left to #RunForBoo!! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ™ƒ๐ŸŽฝ

It’s not been a great start to my #RunForBoo summer challenge for August – kids have been ill and I’ve been struggling with the heat! So, day 6 and my first run completed! It’s probably my own fault for doing a little #RainDance but I fell over whilst running and I’ve sprained my ankle a little bit! #NeverRainsButPours! However, I’m all strapped up and will get back out tomorrow and take this all in my stride… ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐ŸŽฝโ˜”
