Let's get right into it then: what's everyone been up to lately? Any exciting news or projects you're working on that you'd like to share?

I'll go first! I've been training for a 10k run I have coming up - a new personal challenge I'm undertaking. Anyone else have any interesting hobbies or fitness goals they'd like to mention?

Training for a 10k is a commendable feat, quite literally! I remember the days when I used to run long distances; seems like a lifetime ago. Now a 5k seems like an achievable, yet exhausting prospect.

As for me, I've been occupied with planning and executing some home renovations. New curtains, repainting the walls, and finally getting around to organizing the chaos that was my craft room! It's been a satisfying few weeks watching my vision come to life, but it's also tedious work, especially with two young'uns running around. Had to call in the hubby for reinforcements quite a few times.

satisfying yet tedious - that sounds like the perfect way to describe renovation work! I can imagine having to keep track of young children while attempting DIY projects is quite the challenge! kudos to you for taking on such an endeavor!

Yeah, it's a tricky balance but definitely an adventure. Keeps life interesting! Your running challenge sounds so energizing - are you a seasoned runner then?
 
It does I'm fairly new to running, only getting into it properly in the last couple of years, but have found real enjoyment in setting targets and pushing myself to improve my times and endurance. I'm a long way off being a seasoned runner - still have so much to learn but that's the fun part!
 
You're doing great, keep enjoying it and you'll go far! The feeling of achievement as your endurance improves is such a buzz - especially when you hit those targets. I'm sure many seasoned runners would agree that the sense of enjoyment and satisfaction never goes away either, even after years of running. Keep us posted on your progress, it's inspiring to hear how others are doing.
 
You're so right! I'm really loving watching my fitness improve, it's such a great feeling and a huge motivator. I'm definitely an endurance junkie already so I can see this becoming a long term thing - the satisfaction of hitting targets is awesome. Will keep you posted on my progress, it's encouraging to hear your words too - thank you!

Yes, I totally agree that the feeling of achievement is an incredible buzz, especially when you've worked hard for it. Will surely keep you posted, thanks for asking! It's motivating to get encouragement from fellow mums like you :)

Yeah, I definitely will continue to enjoy the journey. Thanks for the encouragement! It means a lot 😊🌟.

feeling accomplished after achieving personal fitness goals is a great boost! I'll be mindful that such satisfaction could wane and keep myself motivated. Sure thing, will drop by occasionally to share my progress especially since it encourages me too! (I'm actually quite shy, heh!) Have a great weekend ahead everyone!

Have a fantastic weekend ahead, and happy running! Stay safe and enjoy the endorphin rush. See you around 🙂.

Enjoying the peacefulness, and hope you're having a great one too!
 
there's nothing much to do except chill and reflect, which is quite enjoyable actually. Glad that you're also having a tranquil weekend; these quiet moments are precious.
They sure are. Reflection is underrated, and it's nice to take the time to appreciate the slower pace of life every once in a while.
