My Wales

HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS!

I DNF'ed my first race and I am gutted! Waring - I DNF'ed my first race and I am gutted! Waring - Period Talk So yesterday, I had my second Chester Marathon, and unlike my first one, I was excited to run and get a PB. The weather was looking OK, I was ready and excited to complete my Chester triple. Unfortunately, my period had other ideas, as I get older, my period is getting shorter and shorter but more intense. This is both a blessing and a curse, so when I woke up yesterday, to my period arriving, I knew I was in for a rough day. Although my first and sometimes only period day of my cycle is very painful, with cramps, headaches and general hate of the world & being a woman I manage to get through, slightly slower and angrier than normal but I do get through. So, I packed extra gels and an extra layer to keep warm and lined up on the start line, ready to get a PB and my triple medal. With every step I took a pressure built up in my pelvis making me feel like I was going to wet myself or that my womb was about to fall out of me, within the first 10 miles I had stopped to wee 8 times thinking I was about to wet myself and every time I didn't actually need to go. At mile 6, I stopped and got some paracetamol from St Johns Amulance in the hope it would ease my cramps and stop the pressure feeling. It did not stop the feeling, and by mile 10, I was done. The thought of running another 2.5 hours in pain and thinking I was on the edge of wetting myself was too much. There were tears, I was and still am absolutely gutted, I am a slow runner, but I always finish. I am not sure anything right now will make me feel better, except the knowledge that I did not wet myself nor did my womb fall out. Now I am just waiting for 2026 to go live so I can try again. • • • #Running #RunnersLife #RunHappy #RunMotivation #RunningCommunity #Runner #RunnersOfInstagram #RunDaily #RunForFun #RunningGoals #RunAddict #RunningLife #InstaRunners #RunStrong #RunMore #CardioLife #RunToInspire #MarathonTraining #RunHard #RunFast #RunningIsLife #LoveToRun #RunStreak #RoadRunner #RunningJourney #RunFree #FitRunner #MorningRun #RunEveryday #KeepRunning
There are three things I've learnt today..... 1. There are three things I've learnt today..... 1. Don't go out for an Indian the night before a race. 2. Running after 2 weeks of being very sick is not for the weak. And I won't be doing it again! Today felt like first ever run. 3. I must be delusional every time I book another race. The Emma that books them is a totally different woman on race morning! • • • #Running #RunnersLife #RunHappy #RunMotivation #RunningCommunity #Runner #RunnersOfInstagram #RunDaily #RunForFun #RunningGoals #RunAddict #RunningLife #InstaRunners #RunStrong #RunMore #CardioLife #RunToInspire #MarathonTraining #RunHard #RunFast #RunningIsLife #LoveToRun #RunStreak #RoadRunner #RunningJourney #RunFree #FitRunner #MorningRun #RunEveryday #KeepRunning

Me and Alex went to one of @the.farm.club breathwo Me and Alex went to one of @the.farm.club breathwork & cold-water experiences. And I was not mentally prepared for how cold it would be!!  I'm so sorry for the ugly towel around me, but I am pretty sure it took a few extra mins for the blood to go back to my brain!  We were a group of 12, and everyone seemed so calm and relaxed as they plunged into the freezing cold water, using the breathwork we had just learnt. Myself, well, it took a couple of tries for me to even get in past my ankles, and when I did manage to sit down, I looked and sounded like I was having a full-blown panic attack!  Despite my utter failure, we had such a good time, and I can't wait to try it again!   • • • #icebath #coldplunge #coldtherapy #icebathrecovery #coldexposure #plungelife #recoverybath #mentalhealththerapy #breathwork #wellnessrituals #mindovermatter #mentalresilience #bodyrecovery #musclerecovery #fasterrecovery #healthylifestyle #wellnessjourney #biohacking #cryotherapy #coldwatertherapy #recoverytime #recoverytools #fitnessrecovery #healingritual #selfdiscipline #icetherapy #chilltherapy #resetyourmind #innerstrength #buildresilience

On Saturday night, I ran the Blackpool Run the Lig On Saturday night, I ran the Blackpool Run the Lights 10k And it was everything you imagine Blackpool to be on a Saturday night! They turned the lights on for it, and I had the best time. However, running in just one line will mess with your head. It was over simulating and gave me flashbacks to being a child and my dad making me walk from the North Pier to the Pleasure Beach  1km - I'm running so fast, this is amazing  I'm amazing! 2km - So many drunk people giving shots to runner. I feel sorry for the guy in front who had one and throw up immediately! 3km - Amazed. I'm keeping the pace! So many cars trying to pull out on the road! 4km - OMG, my legs are giving up. Who do I think I am trying to run faster than normal 5km - Time for a gel, back to feeling amazing!  6km - I should have signed up to the 5k 7km - Sudden flashback of being 7 years old and my dad telling me the tower is on wheels, I swear it is, it doesn't get any closer!  8km - Can you get stoned from secondhand smoke? every weed smoker in the UK most be having a knees up in Blackpool 9km - I deserve a bag of doughnuts after this!  10km - Don't stop, no matter what! Keep going, going to make the sub 1 hour by seconds • • • #Running #RunnersLife #RunHappy #RunMotivation #RunningCommunity #Runner #RunnersOfInstagram #RunDaily #RunForFun #RunningGoals #RunAddict #RunningLife #InstaRunners #RunStrong #RunMore #CardioLife #RunToInspire #MarathonTraining #RunHard #RunFast #RunningIsLife #LoveToRun #RunStreak #RoadRunner #RunningJourney #RunFree #FitRunner #MorningRun #RunEveryday #KeepRunning
