This is #whywerun... To learn This lady is amazing. :) #Repost @nikkilovefitlife with @get_repost ・・・ After a week of throwing myself into a running adventure, it's good to look back. . Lessons learned from the #towpathchallenge . From @luketyburski - Reflections. Take the time and look back 😊. Think, learn and take action to build and improve. This is definitely my current goal. . @raoulmonks1 - find your WHY and you can and will do amazing things. It's always been my number 1 motivation tool to do the things I do. . @jamieisrunning - you don't have to be the first, the best, the fastest. Be adventurous and see where it takes you. This has definitely tickled my adventure bone. . @barefootaleks - always see the funny side of everything you do. Be serious about the goal but have fun and share that fun along the way. Laughter is always the best medicine for when it hurts (ultra-running sometimes hurts a bit 😝) . @elisecdowning - go wild, but if someone offers you a bed - Take it! And cows ARE in fact evil. So glad I'm not the only one who thinks this! . @twicethehealth Hannah & Emily - one day you are not (a multi-day ultra runner) and then bam 💥 do one event and you forever are! (Nobody can take that away from you). Believe that you can do more than what you've done before and then go for it. And doing it with your bestie always makes it better and funner (I missed @sharifowadally this past week ... I had to get my own coffee and everything 😳😂) . Ben @the401challenge Smith - it's more than okay to say 'I need to stop and take a break' . Running all the miles is not the only way to inspire and help people. Thank you soooo much for this reminder 😘 . All of these wonderful people are at the @nationalrunningshow at the Birmingham NEC this weekend. . If you love running and adventure, I suggest you come along and meet these guys!!! . Me ... I'm representing the over 50 crowd. You're never too old and it's never too late to chase your dreams. . 😘 . #chasingextraordinary #loverunning

Another day done on the #towpathchallenge today, running and chatting with @elisecdowning, a pub stop just before half way with @the401challenge, @mikeseaman2709 and @nikkilovefitlife before a gradual end to the day. So great to see people pushing themselves just past their limits, sharing laugh and dancing to Beyoncé. With some turn backs to make sure people are all good on the last 14miles I’ve got a two day total of 64.7miles. Three more days left before we hit Birmingham. Whoop Whoop. Now for a feast

A day of aching legs, not enough drink or food and the thought... How the hell am I gonna do 4 more days?? 😂😂😂 #towpathchallenge Day 1 done with 32 Towpath miles down and 103 to go. (Did someone write 27 miles a day on a website somewhere @mikeseaman2709) #divarunners #dirtbagrunners #dbrambassador @dirtbagrunners @lunasandals @alpkit @ospreypacks

#operaticlandscapes episode 75 I’m suitably unfit, running too fast and slowly on the @nationalrunningshow #TowpathChallenge. 1 day nearly done and 4 to go

Preparation for the @nationalrunningshow #TowPathChallenge has begun! . - kit bag ready for kit - rubber sheets laminated ready to make sandals - Food being organised. - kit being washed . #lovelists #makeyourownsandals #5marathons5days

Yesterday’s fell top delights will be replaced with step reps after work. . 6 days before the tart of the #towpathchallenge (5 marathons in 5 days) along with a host of running legends including @iamdankeeley, @the401challenge & @luketyburski! It’s gonna be epic!?! . Hopefully I’ll catch some of you at the @nationalrunningshow between the 19th and 21st of Jan :)
