I shouldn&#8217;t make excuses but really\u2026I&#8217;ve been on trips away and we moved house! So in all, I missed about three weeks of running and getting my mojo back has been my latest challenge!<\/h4>\n<p>So with all the goings on, there was no grand re-entry into my running \u2013 it was just this one Thursday when I decided to go for it, and not just a couple of miles either\u2026 I went for a big one\u2026a 6 mile run (I&#8217;ve always been one for going in at the deep end) and while it was not the fastest, I really enjoyed it.<\/p>\n<p>So fast forward to the Saturday and to my local parkrun where I ran my second best ever time with my fab friends in toe, all of whom ran their PB&#8217;s too! So I\u2019m thinking, there must be something in having a break, right?!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-3701\" src=\"https:\/\/irun.wales\/app\/uploads\/Getting-my-mojo-back-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/irun.wales\/app\/uploads\/Getting-my-mojo-back-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/irun.wales\/app\/uploads\/Getting-my-mojo-back-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/irun.wales\/app\/uploads\/Getting-my-mojo-back-48x36.jpg 48w, https:\/\/irun.wales\/app\/uploads\/Getting-my-mojo-back.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Anyway, I was on a roll and I\u2019d got back to it big style. I did a very hilly run went to the inaugural Caldicot parkrun (I would highly recommend, it&#8217;s a brill PB course) &#8211; again it wasn&#8217;t my fastest run ever, but I totally enjoyed every minute of it, as did my friend Jo, who ran with me! And I went on a hike with my dad up Torpantu, a mountain with breath-taking views.<\/p>\n<p>But getting back too it isn\u2019t just about running. Over the weekend I also did some marshalling at the murder mile race (it&#8217;s as bad as it sounds \u2013 honestly!), with my mates from Islwyn Running Club which is equally as satisfying as it gives others the chance to run.<\/p>\n<p>For me, I&#8217;ve found running has opened so many door and opportunities!<\/p>\n<p>So to summaries my blabbering\u2019s, it may seem easy to stop and hard to get back, but trust me it&#8217;s worth it! It makes you feel good whilst still having fun with you friends, and even though you may not be the fastest at any race (case in point&#8230; me) or smashing all your own PBs all the time \u2013 for me that&#8217;s not what it&#8217;s about! It\u2019s about having fun, being happy, and taking part &#8211; be it running or volunteering. There is something for everyone to get involved!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes it&#8217;s easy to stop and then it&#8217;s hard to get back again.
