We back in business 💥 🏃🏻‍♀️ 🏆
Macclesfield half marathon 🥈 lady

After the last couple of weeks feeling niggly and very off in my body, running had to take a back seat whilst I focused on recovery ❤️‍🩹
I’ve done everything from physio, chiropractor, stretching ,strengthening, supplements, sleep, hydration, ice baths, saunas 😂 but usually it’s all of these with good old fashioned patience that does the trick - but us runners aren’t very patient 🙈

Today was a confidence boosting run for mind and body ⭐
It’s amazing what can happen when you take all pressure off, relax and enjoy it ☀️ a chilly start but there was glorious sunshine with an undulating countryside course and I loved it🐄

Very happy with a podium place alongside Wilmslow Running Club teammate Di Bygrave
💛💙

32km in total ➡️ 7km warm up ➡️ 21km tempo ➡️ 4km easy cool down
Something longer may be brewing 👀 🏃🏻‍♀️

Riding the high after last weeks win at the Ellesmere 10k🏆
Nothing beats the feeling of crossing the tape as First Lady 🙌🏻
It was a tough little course and I had to push on as I struggled to find a rhythm, but in the end grit paid off 💪
Although it was by no means a PB, it was a proud moment having my Dad, Auntie and Alison Godfrey watch me storm in and be on the podium 🏃🏻‍♀️
Thanks Adrenaline Sporting Events for a great event 💗

🔠 Finally after 467 Parkruns I’ve completed the silly little alphabet challenge 😅

🍃 Herby wholegrain mustard quinoa with balsamic glazed hake 🐟
A quick and tasty dinner packed full of fibre, flavour and protein 💪🏼
You can use a different fish, chicken or tofu and mix up the veg depending on what you have in!
Ingredients
👉🏼 100g dried quinoa (or use precooked pack)
👉🏼 Finely chopped onion, pepper, mushrooms and a large handful of spinach
👉🏼 1 stock cube
👉🏼 1tbsp wholegrain mustard
👉🏼 1tbsp garlic (purée,dried or fresh)
👉🏼 1tsp each of dried rosemary and thyme
👉🏼1 tbsp tomato puree
👉🏼 juice of half a lemon
👉🏼 squeeze of honey
👉🏼 2 fillets of hake (or alternative)
👉🏼 salt and pepper
👉🏼 balsamic glaze to finish

Add the dried quinoa to a pan of boiling water (around 500mls) and dissolve the cube in it. Allow to cook for around 20 minutes until almost all of the water is absorbed.
Meanwhile, pan fry the veggies with the garlic and herbs for 5-10 minutes.
Place the hake on a foiled sheet season with salt and pepper. Cook in air fryer or oven for 10-12 minutes at 180 degrees.
Add in the wholegrain mustard, lemon, honey and tomato paste to the vegetable mixture with a splash of water to combine.
Then stir in the cooked quinoa and allow everything to simmer for a few minutes.
Once your fish is cooked, serve this on top of the quinoa with an expertly drizzle of balsamic glaze 👌🏼

Recent running success 🏃🏻‍♀️🥇💫 🏁
🏆 1st female at the Dunham Massey 5k 18:35 and 14th overall.
A lovely local event on the “uphill” course, 15 seconds quicker than when I did the “downhill” version in 2024 and was 🥈 lady
A great turnout for WRC and lots of age category wins 💙💛

🥈 Lady at the Happy Valley trail half marathon ☀️
A brutal but beautiful course around the hills of Bollington, Kerridge and Pott Shrigley 🏔️
2 days after my pb at Christleton 5k 🫠 and even more impressive from my teammate who placed 🥇 and set a new course record 👏

🌍 A continued streak of first female finishes across various parkrun venues 💜

Relationships with running can go up and down, but at the moment I’m liking this positive groove I’m in 💃🏻🕺🏻
