Running Speechie

Caitlin, 21, England. 2nd Year Speech and Language Therapy student 😊 I go super red when I exercise no matter how fit I am and I find it so embarrassing! But I spend my life holding myself back for fear of embarrassment and I shouldn't, so I'm now embracing the red face and not letting it get in the way of my fitness goals 💪 Used to be a rower, currently a runner.🏃🏃🏃 1st Half Marathon October 2016 - 02:08:28 2nd Half Jan 2017 - 02:00:11 3rd Half May 2017 - 01:53:30 1st Marathon Sept 2017!!!

Royal Windsor River Trail Half Marathon 2017 01:53:30!!! 😱😱 I wanted 01:55:00 but with the lack of training I'd had the few weeks leading up to the half, I didn't believe I could even get that let alone beat it!! Such a gorgeous day but very hot for me 😓 A tricky course due to the first half being so narrow which made it nearly impossible to get passed slower runners. The second half widened considerably and was all in the sun 😭 I stuck close behind my friend's boyfriend's mum for the first 5 miles as she was a good pacer, but when we were nearing 6 miles I realised I needed to pick it up if I wanted to get my time. This was my first race where I ran the second half quicker than the first 😁🙌 I felt so strong and in such a good place mentally. From mile 8 through to the finish I was giving myself motivational pep talks the whole time and it felt so great! I was overtaking people right up until the finish and sprinted the last 200m. I heard people pointing me out to each other as I went for the finish line which was such a great feeling. My toenails got bruised to hell and are still sore two days later 🙈 but other than that, I felt remarkably healthy post-run! And the best bit - we went for a delicious pub lunch by the river afterwards in the sun 😁 such a great day and I am so pumped to start marathon training for September!

New shooooeees! They are Asics Gel something or other and they are soo comfy (at the moment 😂). They were the most expensive of the structured range but when I tried on the only other cheaper pair they had in my size, the difference in comfort was significant. They were a birthday present and I get 25% off as I work for the company, so I decided to go for these ones. I'm wearing them around the house at the moment but I can't wait to take them for a breaking-in run! My old shoes have carried me through the hardest part of my running journey - the early days of building fitness and mileage, but these ones are gonna carry me to marathon distance! 💪 Two weeks until the Windsor River Trail half 😊

Would you like a bag with that? 🐈

Sometimes I’ll randomly think loudly “I know you’re reading my mind” just in case a person is actually trying to read my mind.

you ever hear a song that awakens the inner 14 year old girl you thought you’d killed at least four years ago and you’re forced to hear a younger version of you say “this is my jam” in your head and possibly out loud

Holy shit, I was 14 7 years ago!?!? Where does time go 😭

Breaking news:

Girls actually love nice guys, it’s just that you’re not as nice a guy as you think you are.

[nobungholesambition]

I find this really hard to believe, as every time I’m interested in a girl she ends up with an asshole and I end up friendzoned or worse.

[lovemysub-deactivated20250527]

Imagine being the *exact* type of guy a post was aimed at, but somehow remaining blissfully unaware of that fact…

A beautiful day begins with a beautiful mindset. When you wake up, take a second to think about what a privilege it is to simply be alive and healthy. The moment you start acting like life is a blessing, I assure you it will start to feel like one.

Every day is a blessing and every minute I get to spend with my lovely man and my family is truly a blessing (even though my fam drive me mad most of the time) 😊

12 miles ✔ A beautiful evening for a run, if not a little too warm for my liking. Accidentally joined the Centurion Thames Path 100 miles ultra marathon for a bit 😂 ran against them on the way there and with them on the way back which was hilarious because the spectators didn't know whether to clap me or not 😂 This run absolutely knackered me but pace-wise it looks like I'm on track for that 01:55:00 half marathon! 3 weeks to go 😁
