I have a tibia stress fracture and having to not run or workout my leg is definitely hard but seeing your journey through injury and getting to run like you are now is definitely helping 😊 thank you!

I miss my grandma so dearly, I think of her at the most random times and the grief just slams into me. Cherish the people important to you! ❤

That one had all the emotions! Good to see you smash the end of the run with a bit of Rocky! 🥊

I've always thought that running is a form of meditation. When I first started running, I would get terrible side cramps. The solution has been to breathe in for 3 steps, breathe out for 2 steps. I have run that way for years. It's also a form of meditation and really helps me focus and relax.

My first 5 mile race, a man had put his stereo system out in his front yard and was blasting Eye of the Tiger. I was so pumped for the last 1.5 miles! 🐅 😂

Hehe, Storm...do you hear Lucy reading comments about you? Do you know you have achieved doggy celebrity? Well you have, you handsome boy! Love the hat. I love wearing a hat. Loss of a child...is so heartbreaking. I am so sorry for that family. A childhood family friend of mine just lost their young, adult son unexpectedly. The funeral was beautiful, but I had to use some of my own alone time to let the emotions out later. They reminded us to make things right with your family or with God, whatever you need to freely as soon as possible because any day could be your last. (Of course I would add a respectful caveat that with others, even family sometimes, if a person isn't safe not to feel responsible to that with them.) I hope my run counted but I ran out of time before anyone else was available, and before it was dark and raining, so I ran in place while keeping a promise to watch Charlotte's Web with my kids. I just put on a 40-min timer and let it go until it ran out. But my legs are sore and I got a little sweaty so I think it counted! 😂 I'll say a prayer for that family. I can relate to watching my own self make better choices when times like these hit, these days. Yes. Process emotions instead of stuffing emotions (or our faces). It is SO much healthier! Cheers!

You are amazing Lucy and you inspire me 😍🥰

Loving runmas! And working through grief is so important. And it's also healthy and important for you to allow yourself to grief. Losing my mom was so hard 2 years ago, and therapy was really helpful ❤

Aaawww Lucy 🤗❤ and love

Runmass with you is fun with you!!❤

Hi Lucy, just reminding you there are a ton of internet friends out here who are inspired by you sharing your journey! You've got this 🎀

Lucy, the Runs episodes have been awesome! I love the little draw from the hat, the Christmas music, and Storm :D You're doing great, and I hope the runs are helping you to let out the suppressed emotions. Keep up the wonderful videos! =D

I was really looking forward to your video. I was thinking about it as I went out for my run. Running allows you to be with yourself. Your mind can just process what it needs to. I think of it like defragging your files on the computer. You needed to process. And anytime anyone loses a child, it can bring out a lot in anyone. And today, I was thinking about why I run. That can always help motivate. Great run!

So happy to see your Vlogmas!!!! I have been sick for 6 weeks and catching up! I can say that not being able to run plus being in a very stressful time of my life resulted in eating...a lot. Somehow running is also a coping tool and if it is not available for a long time it's not good. But this week I started walking again. 2k feel like 25. But hey. Moving forward, thats all we can do, not looking back 🙂, because life is not linear in its ups and downs (and thats a good thing!).

So beautiful. Love these videos. Merry Runmas!

Thank you for the advice. I learned how to swim recently. I was scared of the deep end. Long story short, I took some classes and am getting better as time goes on. Don't worry about people ,if you think about it, they are worried about their own issues in their own thoughts. ❤

You are a darling! I love your chats about life. I am certain that many of those watching this will be helped, motivated and inspired by you!! I am loving runmas. Having to adapt a bit to accommodate the healing of my injury. But I’m doing it! You have helped me get motivated! I resonate so much with what you said and I’m old! 😂

These runmas videos are great Lucy, am thinking about how running gives that space in our head, it’s actually great. I am a bit of a slower runner aiming to get faster. Your vlogs are very inspiring. 😀

Lucy my mom recently passed away from cancer and I haven't been consistent at all. Sometimes I have already gotten ready and dressed (also with a high ponytail hat like yours. Really cute by the way) and instead of running I just sit and cry. Maybe today I will go for a quick run anyhow... Thank you for sharing. I really needed to hear this

Lucy, I am enjoying runmas. There is no wrong or right time for grief. It’s been 3 years since my grandmother passed and my mom has trouble even looking at pictures. And I like the hat. 🧢🏃🏻‍♀️🌈

lol his snoot in frame is soooo funny 😂

You are amazing ❤

🎄🎄🎄

Well run the mile you are in, and dont worry about what other People think.. (ussely its "why cant i do that") And if you look wierd in a hat... i have a reflectiv hat.. so how stupide do i look, but i dont care, becaurse im safe in the dark..😁

Running helps me process and grieve. I also know my brother and aunt would want me to keep moving my body and keep being a wife and mother. It gets hard crying while running. Sometimes I gasp for the next breath

I haven't been feeling well lately (fibromyalgia flare), but ive been watching your videos to help motivate me. I know I can't go for a run yet, but I will be walking later today!

🎄

You're doing so well with your injury comeback! 😄

You are tired because you are running every day. This was a very brave challenge to do 😊

Anytime I hear "bear with" I think of Tilly from the show, Miranda. (I miss that show-I think I always related a little too much with her awkwardness and clumsiness.) 😄 It is really hard with hills, for me, to start off or have to end with them! That's a fun thought! You could be the talk of the base a little bit...as in, "The last running wife we had here was in 2016" or something like that. Who knows! 🤩 Calories, yes. There are a lot of running articles about "carbo-loading" or "calorie-loading" day before a race. Same here, too! I hate going to the ER (A&E, here)...it can take SO long. And a family visit on top of that? Bless you. Hopefully Chloe kept the in-laws occupied. ;) I hope Matt is healing and I'm glad you recovered from the exhaust. I live somewhere in the world where obesity and morbid obesity is very common and the collective mindset is that by my age, you just let yourself be fine with it. If you can't, you are some type of "better than you" type. So, for me, I've had to just close off from not caring about that judgement or not getting sucked into giving in, while living in health and hoping it inspires others, bc like you, I'm just a regular person doing the best she can and seeing progress, not bc I think "I'm better than" but because this is important to me. Love how you said what you did, too. ❤ Alright, so...I had to get my run going today by a certain time and for where I am I don't see these pop up until its afternoon. I felt like today was the best day possible, and went for the 120 minutes. I did it! (Barely, lol.) And got my first 15k in there, too! I'll swap out your 120 min day with this 5-miler, but it will all get done! 😁 I stopped 5 times for a total of 17 minutes but the rest of the 2:17:13 total was running. Speaking of head chat, I argued with myself in my head, hearing myself trying to make excuses and then talking myself back into finishing the WHOLE time. (Partly bc I had stomach cramps-which never happens when I run.) Plus, I made myself go out an hour before heading back and it was getting colder with rain in the forecast I had to beat so that helped motivate me! 😂 Time to do my own massive stretch-out before some zzzs!

i love your vids so much bc of the survival show element to them ❤😂 like will we encounter hills today who knowss🌲

I hate admit this but a Quarterpounder meal the day before a long run ensures that my run goes really well. 😅

Your notes about negative self talk is so true!

Lucy you are amazing 😍!! 💘

I used to say such awful things to myself. One day I decided on a new rule - I had to be at least as kind to myself as I would be to a complete stranger. Then I worked my way up to the point of speaking to myself with the kindness I would have for a friend. My “brain weather” - my whole life - is so much better now that I’ve completely fallen out of the habit of being nasty to myself, and I default to “honest but kind”. We really do shape our own realities.

I haven’t started my fitness journey yet-I’ve joined the gym specifically to go swimming, but have been too anxious to go. I went for a nature walk last week however, which was really nice! I’m new to your channel, and hope to get into running soon. Thank you for inspiring me!

‘She said she could, and she did’ ‘You say “why me?”, I say “try me “ ‘ You’re such a motivational person. All I need to do now is ignore the storm and go running outside anyway.

That was pure gold Lucy! TedX level. 🤩

I love your videos and they inspire me to keep going in my own journey. I feel like we both have a ton in common. I’m currently down with a stress fracture in my right foot. It’s been over 8 weeks since I last got to run and I miss it so much. I worry too because I feel like I will be starting back up from square one lol. I just love Storm too! I own a little version of him. Mine is an Alaskan Klee Kia and I ran with her in a 5K race once and we won! Woah lol. Anyway, I have a new TH-cam channel, super small lol. I share my run journey and weight loss journey through running and keto. If you would like to join and also be my virtual running buddy, it’s Keto Phoenix. Thanks for all your uplifting videos to us newer runners!

Way to go! You’ve always inspired me

What's crazy is that you are so clever, funny, and athletic.

Well done Lucy! It's tough going with this awful weather at the moment 🌧🌪

Thanks 😊

I’m running in Finland and the temperatures dropped below 0 some weeks ago. A wonderful idea I had was making myself a cup of hot chocolate after cold runs! It’s warm AND has good macros for recovery! Though to be honest, I don’t find 0 to -5 degrees that cold once I get used to it, it’s quite nice and comfortable with the right layers. Heat is much more difficult for me!

OMgoodness! At least it’s getting them out the way. I better go and do an hour now! I did the 70mins🎉😅 tough but I did it. ❤

[Puts ‘Auntie’ hat on] I may be the only one with this cautious view, but Lucy please, please, please put your running health and injury recovery *ahead* of whatever the hat gives you as a run time/distance. A recovery programme for running can be totally scuppered by non-adherence to the plan, and it would be really, really awful to see you injured again because the hat dictated it. [Takes Auntie hat off.] Great video, as ever, and like everyone else, I’m loving Storm’s rather prominent cameo appearances! 😊

I want to say that no, I never film military stuff on my runs. I'm so afraid of the wrong people looking at it. On our base there are sometimes people who take pictures of planes that go in and out and that's highly suspicious. So I would never share that online.

Keep doing what you are doing! And your dog is adorable ❤

I just found your channel. What a breath of fresh air you are! You are so relatable and your kind heart is so apparent. I’m enjoying your Runmas and look forward to watching you crush the Manchester Marathon!

I love your co-host Storm getting all involved.😂 You are doing great!!
