The wind had whipped up and the sky opened just as I headed out the door for a run this evening. I ran back inside and grabbed a jacket. I didn't need to bother, the rain did not last long. The tide kept me off the beach but I am enjoying running the tracks so it all worked out well in the end. The little hill was a bit of a struggle today, think I did too many stairs at work today.

Saturday was going great UNTIL it bucketed and netty got canned. I swear we used to play in worse conditions… like it was torrential but I’m a netty gal ya know?

So me and half my team went for lunch which was cute and then I got a giant coffee to warm myself off.

It’s funny how life works. Last weekend I had two uni assessments to work on and a job application and ZERO time.

This weekend I now have time and nothing to do. Maybe I should relax?!

Also my mum got a PB she’s the best 😍😍😍

And also again a random girl told me I was so quick and I was like me???? And it put some pep in my step because yeah this time last year I was DYING to crack 30. I think a year ago my time was 32 flat. Perspective right?

Improved my 5km record today by 30 seconds by taking an alternative route... it feels a bit like cheating but I'm proud of going outside in the rain. I'm proud of putting in the effort.

When I hung the washing out early the sun was shining brightly. I was looking forward to running at lunchtime. It was really nice out there with a cool breeze taking the edge off the sunshines heat. As I ran onto the beach I saw a sea lion sunning itself on the shore. So cool, I took a look and left the sea lion to enjoy the waves and ran off home to do more work. I love Fridays.

Saturday 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

No words.

Actually I have a few. 🤪

It feels like something has been unlocked and I feel so free. All these narratives I used to tell myself are gone.

I’m too slow ❌

I’m not good enough ❌

I’m too heavy ❌

I’m not the same person I used to be ❌

I’m injured and can’t recover ❌

The course is hard to run ❌

I can’t push myself ❌

I’m too sad ❌

Lockdown ruined my running ❌

Showing up is enough ❌

Instead, I’m thinking -

You are strong ✅

You can do this ✅

One step at a time ✅

Believe in yourself ✅

You can push harder ✅

I never thought I would run a PB again. I had resigned myself to the times I was getting and accepted myself, which is a huge part of the journey. Because that healing then made me realise I WAS capable of more and I could fall back in love with running - and myself. But it wasn’t going to come from a place of frustration or disdain for myself. I had a great friend run slower with me around June last year and pace me through to all these small goals I set for myself. All I wanted was sub-30 and suddenly in the last 8 or so months I have achieved more than I ever thought I could. The hunger has come back and that spark ✨ I really missed myself.

nanami doesn’t argue.

that would imply there’s a debate to be had. there isn’t. you’re wrong, and he’s right, end of story.

except right now you’re standing over him, arms crossed over your chest, smirking, and somehow — he’s the one apologizing. on his knees, too.

his fingers skim the inside of your wrist to the faint lines of your palm, thumb gliding over the crease of your fingers. tracing a slow, thoughtless pattern like he’s waiting for you to say something.

he exhales, sharp. “love, what exactly am I doing?”

“apologizing,” you bend closer. barely an inch, but enough that the air between you feels warmer, “..because you feel bad?”

his fingers tighten — just a little — before they smooth over again, sliding down to the ends of yours, holding on like he’s considering it. “I don’t.”

you raise a brow, irritated now. “no?”

he sighs, long-suffering, but doesn’t let go. if anything, his grip shifts, trailing down until he’s holding onto the end of your sleeve instead, brushing over your knuckles, still here, despite how tired he looks.

you press, voice softening, teasing though expectant. “do you feel bad at all?”

there’s barely a second joining the words and the way he moves — your back meets the kitchen counter with his hand around your waist, breath against your lips when he murmurs, “I do.”

his fingers slipping under your shirt at your hip as he exhales, words slipping out on your mouth:

“I’m,” kiss. “so-” kiss. “so.” kiss. “sorry,” kiss. “baby.”

you laugh into it, fingers curling into his sweater, breathless in a way you’re sure he notices. he pulls back to see the look on your face — the one that means you know you’ve won.

and for once, nanami doesn’t argue.
