I am so glad you shared this with us. My mom passed in 2017 and I miss her so much. She was my best and only friend. I love this time of year, but I also hate it because the pain of her not being here is amplified. She loved Christmas and there's just a gaping hole in my life. I am so grateful to you and your videos because you inspire me to keep going. Running is my therapy and you, dear Lucy are also therapy. Thank you for being here and sharing your journey! XOXOXO
Thank you Lucy. I’m managing to keep up with runmas. 40 mins was perfect. I was so relieved to be honest. Loving it actually. Off to do Tongeriro Crossing tomorrow, so hoping you might pick out 2hrs. Otherwise I will swap it out with it when it does get picked. I still miss my dad and my nans. Running definitely helps me unpack an awful lot of stuff going on in my head. ❤ I think having a break from running due to injury is harder than you think!
Rocky is dear to me. My favorite scene is Rocky getting up at 4 AM to run, having raw eggs for breakfast and running down the shadowy street to end up at the museum steps all wheezy. He gets better with time! The original Rocky soundtrack is the best. The track Philadelphia Morning brings a tear to my eye.
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.
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 ❤
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 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!
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!
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. 😀
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!).
I’m happy you are enjoying it 😀 That’s the best attitude to have, never look back just keep going 🙌 I hope everything is feeling less stressful for you ❤️
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!
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. ❤
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
Oh my goodness I’m so sorry to hear that ❤️ I wish I could reach out and give you a hug! Running hasn’t been able to take the heartbreak away but it has helped me handle it a bit better. I really hope it can help the same way for you too ❤️
@@lucyshawvlogs Thank you so much Lucy. Warm hugs right back to you and the family in your community... Im so sorry anyone has to go through this terrible pain. Running has been ok some days and others I just find myself walking it. I'm trying to tell myself its ok and that I at least got some fresh air and my heart beating which is what I know my mom would have wanted. In any case I feel motivated and inspired watching your videos so thanks again! ❤
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! 🐅 😂
I’m so sorry for your loss of your grandma i wish i had as good of a relationship with mine as you had with yours. ❤ it’s okay to have days where you need to cry it’s all part of the process.
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
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. 🧢🏃🏻♀️🌈
I’m so happy you are enjoying it 😀 That’s a great reminder, there really is no wrong or right to this stuff ❤️❤️ Ah thank you, it helped keep my head warm 😅
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!
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..😁

That is such a great moment in the movie! 🙌
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! ❤

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
It does get hard to run while crying 😅 My breathing starts to get awful, thankfully it comes in waves and doesn’t last super long for me ❤️🏃♀️
