Manchester, you have my heart. I GOT MY SUB 4 - 3:55, a 12 minute PB. I’m one big emotional wreck right now…I’ve chased this for so long! 🥹

Running in broad daylight & a random man forcefully shoves me over. Please tell me again how I should modify my behaviour as a woman to ‘stay safe’. I’m fine - but I wonder who this man goes home to & if they are. Do better.

Didn’t go to plan today - collapsed at mile 13 & was looked after by people who gave up their race for me (so humbling) & lovely medics. Cried lots, decided to carry on after 15 min & the UNBELIEVABLE crowd got me round. You’re world class. Thank you London. 4.28 & 4.16 for Dave.

Tonight on a dimly lit section of my run a young lad around 15-16 stopped, stepped into a driveway, pulled his hood down and replied with "sorry, didn't want to scare you" when I said thanks. Wish I knew his mum/dad - that's how you raise good kids. Made my day.

I have a 2 hour zoom meeting this afternoon. The kids are playing "count the correct number of bricks on the garage & win £5"
I haven't a clue what the answer is, but I do know it's going to take them MANY, MANY attempts...😉

I crossed over the road 9 times on my run this morning (often onto a side with oncoming traffic), which is no problem; I'm out for some exercise after all! But not one nod, smile, thanks - I don't need it, but manners cost nothing. It's not a battle! 😚

As I was running (alone) I came to a group of 8 adults with lots of kids - not socially distanced in any way - outside costa, taking up the WHOLE path. I moved into the road. One woman tutted 'these runners'. There's only one of us breaking covid rules here love & it's not me! 👀

each year baffled why anyone would choose to run that far. In 2017, I ran my first half in 2.19. I was ECSTATIC. Today I finished in 1.46 & I’m running London in 4 weeks. Look what you did Pete ❤️

I've already missed the funeral of one Grandparent because of the Covid-19 situation & don't wish to miss any more. I'm a runner, I love running, but if my only option was this I'd be benching myself until I had better options. Think of yourself & others!

Thank you! The sad thing is that all the times I have ran at times of the day deemed more “dangerous” (very early mornings, dark nights), I’ve never had a problem. It goes to show sometimes it’s just a case of wrong place, wrong time.

We’ve had some really sad news in our family recently, so today was about enjoyment rather than time. I high fived so many kids, stroked every labrador I saw, facetimed my girls & still came away with my 3rd fastest half (1.46, 1.52 & 1.52 again today). Running never fails ❤️

On my run today, a lovely chap on his bike rang his bell a few times, gave a super cheery “good morning, on your right!” & it just put me in such a good mood for the whole run. Considerate & friendly…whilst sometimes we focus on those who ruin our runs, this gent made mine!

I tuck my ponytail into a bobble hat when it's dark. Run wide past alleyways. Look people in the eye so they know I've seen what they look like. Tell myself I've got a black belt, so I've done all I can to stay safe. My husband just goes running. So angry about

Daughter arrives home from school - feeds the dog. Husband comes home (daughter in the shower), feeds the dog. I come home, husband gone to football, daughter facetiming mates....I feed the dog. The dog regrets NOTHING. He's waited 18 months for this opportunity. Well played.

I like how Jacinda Ardern puts it:
"If we focus only on being seen to be the strongest, most powerful person in the room, then I think we lose what we’re meant to be here for. So I’m proudly focused on empathy, because you can be both empathetic and strong."

The injustice of the marathon is that you should be gifted the best nights sleep of your life…but the pain and heaviness your legs means it’s one of the worst. I don’t think I’ve ever ached so much - who am I kidding - I HAVE NEVER ACHED SO MUCH! But WE DID IT! 💪

It’s sad we live in a society where strangers find it acceptable to make flippant comments to children about food intake and weight. ‘Do you know how many calories are in that?! Wish I could have that (you could….)’ has triggered me way more than it should, but it’s not on.

In the past 3 years I've ran 3500 miles inc 6 marathons & 18 halfs - all inspired by my amazing dad. Before he died I did absolutely nothing. It doesn't come naturally - I used to walk 1500m at school - but it's amazing what you can do for an important cause!
