Wakefield Running Mamas

Not my picture, but we chose all off-road (plus mud 😩) over busy roads tonight.

30 mins out, 30 mins back.

Six miles.

Daylight 👊🏻

...or surround yourself with people who 'get' you.

I've been saying this for a long time.

Quality of people rather than quantity of people 👊🏻

Spending an hour running on a muggy, windy, nearly-dark night when you're getting over massive lurg, MAKES US HAPPY!

Look at this as runs you've done this year versus run opportunities you have for the rest of the year.

Get the shoes on, get the run done, even if it's just a couple of miles here and there. Make run plans.

You never regret a run, not even the ones that feel rubbish.

Now if you'd like to discuss pre and post run nutrition, we're exactly what you need! 🤣

We were worried we'd be too cold tonight 🥶

Solution for that is to run quite fast up a long, steep, draggy hill.

4.4 miles in sub zero temps. Roll on those long summer runs where it's almost too hot to go out!

We've still been running, we've just been running under the radar 🫡

Anyway, we're back and doing the 15, 10, 5 minute sets we love to hate.

All very dark, all very cold, all very nice and nippy, got it done 👊

Six miles, sixty minutes.

Back on it for a Monday Christmas Lights run. Yes I'm keen, what are you going to do about it?! 😂

Disappointing lack of festive fave the glittery skull, massive reindeer and they'd forgotten to switch the Town Hall tree on, but all in all a pleasant run with a few giant twinklies to ease the November blues.

Monday Mamas! One of my fav off-road routes for tonight (I have many!). Helen's layby, 6pm or earlier.

All time slots considered!

One of my favourite summertime routes, and one that's super muddy and icy in the winter.

4.2 miles in just under an hour - that's how challenging the terrain is!

Thanks for the chat and company Mel 👊

Mondays are back! Have you missed me??

Sandal rugby club car park, 6pm (or the usual earlier wishes if desired) and it'll be all off road, and probably wet grass too!

Let me know if you're coming along 👊

The three-legged 10 minute out and back session is rarely a popular choice, but it does guarantee an exactly 60 minute run (ideal for those of us with curfews) and you kind of get to pick your own leg.

Legs tonight included the $h!ttest way, the really long 10 minute one, and the surprise no-car way.

And exactly 6 miles so once again the OCD was satisfied 👌

And it was still 🥵

Monday nighters 📢

If the weather isn't too foul later (mainly thunder and lightning threatened) then it'll be from Sandal rugby club car park, 6pm or earlier. Let me know!

One of my favourite routes, exactly 5 miles which made for excellent feng shui, inner peace, windswept hair and Monday evening satisfaction 👌
