Now it’s time to reap the rewards of all the hard work you put in during the colder part of the year.

Today, I did one of my favourite things: watch other people run. It was the Alresford 10k, and my OH was racing, along with some other clubmates, so I went along to support. It was one of my favourite days of late. We got there early for registration, so I went off for a 5k run while they were all sorting out their numbers. By the time I got back, they'd found themselves a nice little dugout near the finish and enjoying a bit of pre-race camaraderie. After they all set off, I got myself a sausage bap and coffee as my post-run snack! Then I found myself a nice quiet space to cheer them home. Some of them had a bad day, and some of them had a good day - that's the way running goes. And, as far as goodie bags go, this one was pretty unique, with a buff, some watercress, a banana, and a cookie from the local cafe - pretty spot on in my opinion in terms of local and traditional products. (Although I do always like to have a medal!). I definitely prefer supporting, rather than running the races myself, for various different reasons and whilst I didn't hear any positive reasons to do this one next year (too hot, too hilly, no earphones), it was a great day out from a spectating point of view. How has your weekend been? Do you like a medal, or do you support the more sustainable approach? #Runner #Run #running #runningcommunity #RunningGoals #racing

This past Saturday, I ran my second race of 2024. It was also my first race since turning 60. I moved up to the 60-64 age group. One of many benefits to aging, is every four years becoming the "youngest in my age group" classification. The race is part of the Knoxville Track Club's Winter Road Series. The 10 mile race has been a staple for East Tennesee for years. We added a five mile race to this year's event. I chose the five-mile race. And, with some reluctance. Last week was a long week, business wise. Travel and dealing with the challenges that we all deal with living the "entrepreneurial life". I really wanted to roll over and go back to sleep when my early morning alarm went off. Getting out of the house is often a challenge we all face at times with our goals to be active. The benefits are significant and for me, it was great to race but even better to catch up with friends. I am always glad I made the effort of taking that first step to get out of the house and get going. A majority of my training is done solo. My schedule is hectic, and I do a lot of late-night training. One of my goals for 2024 is to make time to run, ride or swim with friends. It does make a difference. If you are struggling with your plans to get more active in the new year, I encourage to find a partner to make the process more enjoyable. #running #runningmotivation #runner #runners #endurance #triathlete #triathlontraining #bylr #VarloSports #Varlo Inc #healthandwellness #agingwell #knoxville #ktc #nike #patagonia #T36Golf

3 Things that we can learn from racing horses: 🐎Discipline: Horses are trained to follow a strict routine and adhere to a set of rules. They learn to stay focused and perform to the best of their abilities, even under pressure. 🐴Perseverance: Horse racing is a demanding sport that requires a lot of hard work and dedication. Horses have to train rigorously and overcome obstacles to reach their full potential. 🏇Teamwork: Horse racing is not just about the horse, but also about the jockey, trainer, and other members of the team. Each person plays a crucial role in ensuring the horse’s success. Take inspiration from racing horses and cultivate discipline, perseverance, and teamwork in your own life. Set clear goals, work hard to achieve them, and collaborate with others to achieve success. Remember, the journey is just as important as the destination!🐎🏆 #racehorse #discipline #perseverance #motivational #teamwork #consistency #thrivetobeyourbest #keeprunning #keepmotivating #keepexploring

I love it when a plan comes together! Chepstow Half - 1:19:48 Sub 1:20 half marathon ✅ 6th place (my first top 10) ✅ Consistency is key. It’s taken the best part of 4 years of training to get here. Progress isn’t linear and sometimes it feels like you’re going backwards. Stick to the plan and keep showing up. #running #training
