That was just the most difficult, hateful run. 😣 Every ounce of my being said stop but something made me determined to somehow cover the distance. So much for good will to all men I’ve never encountered so many ride entitled folk refusing to share the space 😡 #C210K #RebelliousHope #BlueskyRunning

This just arrived - it’s feeling real now but I’m looking forward to it. Aiming to get out for a run tomorrow 🏃‍♀️ #C210K #BlueskyRunning

Flipping delighted with that 💪🏼 10 days until race day! The first 2 miles in almost daylight, mile 1 unsettled, mile 4 mind games 😬, mile 5 loving it and by the end I could easily have done 1 mile more! Lots more pushing up hills tonight.

My last 2025 Parkrun.Since I began #C210K on 23rd June I’ve run through summer heat,rain,hail,strong winds & 🥶 I’ve run 2 or 3 times a week inc Parkrun.In 6 months I’ve taken 5 mins off my Parkrun time!No-one tells you running is as much mind over matter as it is physical! #RebelliousHope
#Parkrun

Not gonna lie, feel a bit overwhelmed & had a little happy cry - I’m proud of that. I pushed for the hills under a beautiful starry sky. A great start to 6 days off. Bring on New Years Day 😊 #C210K #RebelliousHope #BlueskyRunning

Perfect running weather:cool,clear & starry,dry & slightly breezy.Concentrated on a newer route to include some inclines, have to really watch my step but it felt good. I smashed it, loved it, feeling delighted 💪🏼Thankfully a stark contrast to the last run & I won a trophy 🏆 😆 #C210K #RebelliousHope

So week 13 of 14 begins! Very mild & dry tonight.A restful weekend paid off. I spent lunchtime route planning to add some hills & mix it up a bit,tiring of running in the dark.Awful anxiety hit 5 mins in no idea why and it was a struggle not to just go straight home 🤷🏻‍♀️ #C210K #RebelliousHope #Anxiety

I set off just after sunset with barely a breeze, I finished my run on the prom with the sea at high tide gently lapping at the flints with the almost full moon shining & reflected on the sea. Week 12 completed ✅🥳 #C210K #RebelliousHope 🏃‍♀️ 💪🏼 I pushed a bit the second set & happy with that 🤩

Goodness me - today is dragging by! It’s a glorious fresh sunny day out there and I can’t wait to get out later for a run #C210K I’m primed ready … 🏃‍♀️

The golden orb ☀️ has finally made an appearance so I’ve treated my running shoes to a little fresh air. I can’t wait to get out again tomorrow and complete Week 12 of Couch to 10K #C210K #BlueSkyRunning

After some unexpected very sad news yesterday💔tonight was always just going to be about lacing up, getting out, putting in the time & distance, keeping the momentum up & head in the right place. I experimented mixing up the route,adding some inclines too,quite pleased really. #C210K #RebelliousHope

After an unusually disturbed sleep it would’ve been easy to give in to weariness. Mile 3 was tough-an exposed area with a strong SW head wind.It was a little slower than my pace of late but I don’t care,so glad I went.Great to get out in daylight & run some favourite trails 🥰 #RebelliousHope #C210K

This evenings run - Week 11/14 Day 3/3 another week of my #C210K programme completed ✅ 🤩 The weather was cool & breezy but dry except for the 5 min cooldown walk. I enjoyed that, it’s feeling more natural & comfortable. My pace is slowly / steadily improving 💪🏼 #RebelliousHope #BlueskyRunning

Exhilarating, never has a run felt so good, I feel alive 🤩🌡️ 5 degrees, a NNW 23mph wind gusting 28 mph sitting on the back of the incoming tide. There was rain, a long hailstorm & showers from the North Sea 🌊 I absolutely smashed that, it felt comfortable & I felt strong 💪🏼
#C210K #RebelliousHope

A non-runner sent me something that made me pause & think.So I looked back-in just under 5 months my average pace has improved by 1.75min/mile & Parkrun time by an average 5 mins #Perspective 😊
#C210K #Parkrun #Running
I run to prove to myself I can.
#RebelliousHope
I need to be easier on my self🫣

That wasn’t the plan,probably tried to cram too much in today but a run is better than no run.The stats make no sense to how horrible & difficult that felt.I hate quitting😡 #C210K On an aside I’m sitting in the garden in vest top & shorts mid November,this isn’t good,it’s too warm & midges are out.

9 hrs solid sleep last night, my favourite tunes 🎶 & my lovely new shoes-with vibram soles (just like walking boots) 🥾 I really noticed the extra grip 🥰 Absolutely smashed that & loved it 💪🏼 #C210K #RebelliousHope #WinningAtLife 🏃‍♀️

Week 10 of 14 completed ✅ it’s been a tough couple of days so not as rested as usual but there was no way I wasn’t going out, I’m pleasantly surprised to have maintained the pace & effort. #C210K #RebelliousHope
#FuckCancer Remembering Tracey💔a dignified fighter to the end 😢

That couldn’t come soon enough today. #C210K

Despite things it felt good, slower than it seemed.

Fuelled by #Guilt #Anger #Grief and #RebelliousHope

For Tracey 💔 🥺😢 #FuckCancer

Absolutely loved that tonight. Feeling good with energy left 💪🏼 First dark run, all about finding a route with lights … the prom is awesome for this time of year with the sea crashing in the background. 🥰 #C210K My body is clearly capable of so much more than I dare to believe. #ThisGirlCan

I had to drive right past, the car inextricably swerved so I went in for a look! There may have been a purchase … but given I didn’t like the colour I just need to wait for a delivery 📦 #Running #C210K 👟 🏃‍♀️

Another week completed ✅ #C210K Week 9/14 Day 3/3 … pleased with that tonight & finished strong. Who wouldn’t want to run along the prom at twilight 🌙 The wind is getting up again for a Saturday 😡 hoping it’s not another #Parkrun cancellation 😭

Another day another step closer - that was just horrible & it got worse as it went on! 😬 I’ve no idea how I’ve set a new 5K PB (by 4s) 🤷🏻‍♀️ The grockles are already descending 🙄 🤯 Time to batten down the hatches now & emerge for Parkrun after Storm Benjamin has passed. #C210K

Despite warm torrential rain for the last 40 mins of that I really enjoyed it.🤪 A definite step up in distance & time today but it felt pretty good. Onwards now to being ready for a 10K race by the end of the year 💪🏼 #C210K I still can’t believe I can do this 😊

Goal achieved 🥳 💪🏼 🏃‍♀️ at this point in the #C210K programme you’re supposed to be able to run a whole 5K … I’m absolutely delighted that not only can I now do that, but I set a lifetime record too - under 34 min 🤷🏻‍♀️
Really looking forward to Parkrun Saturday.

I really wanted that today, the weather’s cooler & the north wind on the prom just perfect but it was a real battle of mind over matter. 1st mile was slow,I couldn’t settle in a rhythm. Rounded off by some woman & her gnikcuf extendable dog lead✂️ who twice nearly had me over #C210K

Onwards & upwards I’m just past the halfway point now. It didn’t feel as slow as the stats suggest but it is warm out & I enjoyed it. #C210K
I’m looking forward to Saturday #Parkrun back where I did my first ever one years ago.

Sadly my mate couldn’t make 🫖&🧁The urge to run was stronger than the urge to swim. I’ve never opted to leave home for a run in the rain before, it drizzled gently the whole time. It’s very mild & sheltered on the prom. It didn’t feel great but 5s off my 2 mile PR 😁🤷🏻‍♀️ #C210K

I was looking forward to that tonight. Great to be back out on home ground, inc a short stretch on the beach while the tide’s still ebbing. Lifetime best for 2 miles, makes me sound like a runner😆 #C210K
