Decided to give Bluesky a go - hope to see you over there 😍

I had the very best night out with friends on Saturday (VERY rare) but found the last couple of days a bit hard with the marathon. A few work colleagues ran & very pleased for them but felt so out of things: "that should be me" 🤣🤦‍♀️ Charity place in 2025 for @LondonMarathon #5??

Took a bit of a detour on my way home from work! May not be running on Sunday but wanted to pop into the Expo. Inadvertently timed it just right to see Paula Radcliffe. Definite feeling of "I don't fit in here anymore" but that will pass, given a few months 🤞😊 #LondonMarathon

Huge congratulations to @emjs81 for finishing Boston, completing the World Marathon Majors and getting her Six-Star Medal. It's been one hell of a journey Emma, couldn't be happier for you. Such an inspiration ❤️🏅🍾 #bemorewilliam

The children are back at school today & term time's the big test for fitting in my running. I've never found a routine that works 😕 Planned to get up v early to run but failed at the first hurdle after the girls were both up in the night 😴🤦‍♀️ It'll be another late one tonight🌛

Went for a walk woth Franc's brother this afternoon and found some bluebells ❤️

Took Chewie for a really lovely trail run. Perfect weather and beautiful countryside ❤️❤️ Then I slipped on a very muddy narrow track and fell sideways into a blackberry bush. Broke my fall with the thorns 🤦‍♀️🤣

It's anniversary day! 18 years since my husband and I met and our 11th wedding anniversary ❤️ Also, 16 years to the day since my first marathon when I only marginally beat a man who was flipping pancakes and using a crutch 🤣 Where do the years go?!? 😀

Just got back from another run 🥳 A bit further, a bit quicker, and took advantage of a little downhill to remind my legs what going faster feels like. Unfortunately totally overdressed though & am now absolutely boiling. Will take me the rest of the night to cool down 🤣🤦‍♀️

Didn't want to get carried away so no run today but was busy at work and went for a walk this evening, taking me to over 21k steps! I'm feeling so encouraged - have received such tremendous support since posting yesterday. Just amazing ❤️❤️❤️

I definitely know I ran last night, a few aches and pains 🤦‍♀️ Was a time when I'd run a marathon and not notice it the next day but there we go. I'm fat, unfit and over 40 now 🤣 What did I expect?! Into London for work today so lots of walking, which may (or may not) help 🤞😊

I had a goal to really focus tonight & to run the whole of my first mile, no stops/walking. I've not managed this in months but... I did it 😀 then kept going. 5km with no walking, done in 40 mins. It was a tough slog (i'm not only unfit but VERY heavy 😭) but it's a start 👍❤️

I read something earlier today about Jasmin Paris leaving the house at midnight to run 22 miles...she just had to find a way to fit in the miles around her life (full time job, mum etc). I really have no excuses! I'm off out...

Twitter used to be so important to me. Support, friendship (in the real world too) and motivation, part of a great community ❤️ But I stopped running much, twitter became x, things changed. Is anyone still here? Want to find my tribe... i'm trying to be a runner again #ukrunchat

A few weeks ago, I finished the LDWA's Blackwater Marathon event. #110 but my first in a year! I LOVED it - had the best day out - but had to walk it all: a first for me. I promised myself I'd get fit again so I can RUN the distance. Tomorrow, it starts! 💪 #weightloss #training

I took the stairs to the 5th floor at work today while chatting with a colleague. I got there without being out of breath and so, in surprise, she said I seemed fit (without adding, for a fat person) & asked if I went to the gym. I "used" to be a marathon runner, I said 😭😭😭
