New Month - New Motivation⠀ ⠀ So, this is the

New Month - New Motivation⠀
⠀
So, this is the month where things change, I am looking to up my fitness game, as I am really enjoying making progress. Plus, I'm changing up things in the kitchen too...⠀
⠀
I've decided that I really want to thrive & I know making changes to my diet will change up my energy, help me get stronger & hopefully faster. Also, I sincerely hope to stop my emotional eating, but that's a different story all together...⠀
⠀
I've started working with a Nutritionist & I will be sharing my workouts/some of my progress as the weeks go on. I'm not looking to suddenly become super human or elite, but if I could get closer to my previous pace & get stronger? That would be pretty good with me! ⠀
⠀
But, most of all let's not forget what a privilege it is to move freely. To eat delicious food & be able to run, no matter how tough it gets, it's good to be thankful! ⠀

When running feels like therapy...⠀
⠀
I never normally run in the rain, but today it absolutely poured down & it was the most freeing therapeutic experience. ⠀
⠀
I found myself smiling & laughing inside, the harder the rain fell, the less it felt like I cared. I was completely soaked, I was happy, I was running, what more did I need? Not a lot really.⠀

Stepping back, to go forwards...⠀
⠀
I sometimes, get ahead of myself, I'm...I don't know, enthusiastic & burn out easily. ⠀
⠀
But, I am learning to step back, if I have to take a week off running? Sure! I ran less last week, I started this week with the most beautiful 5km & it felt dang good.⠀
⠀
The same applies If I need a mini social media break? Bring.it.on. More carbs or coffee? Ugh, I thought you'd never ask...⠀
⠀
But, it's frightening isn't it? However, Sometimes you need to go slower before you can go faster & that's okay with me. ⠀

Dealing with life as a hypersensitive person...⠀

Dealing with life as a hypersensitive person...⠀
⠀
Is tough at times, really tough & I only realised such a term existed last week. When I started reading more, I realised that "Oh my...this is me" & it made me realise why I am often just so exhausted...⠀
⠀
As a highly sensitive person...⠀
⠀
You absolutely abhor violence and cruelty of any kind. ...⠀
⠀
You're frequently emotionally exhausted from absorbing other people's feelings. ...⠀
⠀
Time pressure really rattles you. ...⠀
⠀
You withdraw often. ...⠀
⠀
You're jumpy. ...⠀
⠀
You think deeply. ...⠀
⠀
You're a seeker. ...⠀
⠀
It's highly likely that you suffer from anxiety ...⠀
⠀
You're easily overwhelmed...⠀
⠀
& so much more....⠀
⠀
It's pretty easy to hide, but important to talk about these things. On a brighter note, I'm recharged & dreaming of adventure ♥️⠀

Today I had just a lovely 2.5 miles run/walk to shake out from a busy ole day...⠀
⠀
But, I want to talk about something more important, I've had several conversations with people in the last few days who were feeling burnt out with online business/social media. I know it won't work for everyone, but I cannot recommend a break enough. Plus, the importance of exercise, even just a gentle walk, because it will (hopefully) allow you to switch off and that's when I feel most creative.⠀
⠀
I have my best ideas when I'm just walking, or pottering around the house completing jobs. Strangely, by taking our foot off the gas, we can often ignite our imagination. ⠀
⠀
So, if it feels like too much, running, life, whatever. Sometimes you might just have to back off, to elevate yourself forwards...♥️

Swim 🏊‍♀️ & Run 🏃‍♀️ ⠀
⠀
I am absolutely bursting with gratitude after today's training. I missed open water swimming, getting out in the water today was incredible for my mindset. It makes me feel so free & happy! ⠀
⠀
Yesterday, I pushed harder on my run (something I only do once a week) & ran 3.5 miles in 31mins which is an improvement. Today was 7.2 miles through the most beautiful stately home estate & scenic "Chocolate Box" villages. I stopped to admire the view,I smiled lots & felt so happy to be out. ⠀
⠀
I have been really focused on my fitness & it feels so rewarding to be seeing improvements. I know Instagram is visual, so urm don't be fooled by the uhmazing lighting on this picture, I'm still very Juicy. If you want to listen to my heartfelt & in some places painful, stories about my body, the link to my Podcast is in my bio ♥️

When you think there's a big sign in the distance

When you think there's a big sign in the distance saying "Pizza, hot, fresh & especially for sweaty runner's" 🍕⠀
⠀
But then you just realise, it's the way home & there's no pizza. ⠀
⠀
Today was just a really, really steady 4.5miles, it was a rare double workout day. I was just focused on moving & not a care in the world about pace...♥️

*Medal Monday* 🏅⠀
⠀
How exciting is this? The lovely folk at @brooksrunninguk sent us all a glorious medal, which has brought a huge smile to my face. Just like taking part in #Runhappyathome did! ⠀
There were so many incredible creative workouts & challenges, amazing runs & big cheery dollops of positivity in this strange ole time. I am so proud of everyone who took part, you're all awesome 👊 ⠀
I know that I won't be taking part in a mass participation event anytime soon. But it's so lovely to have a touch of bling in my life! Plus it couldn't have come at a better time after this weekends running 🙌 Happy Monday All 💙
