promise to love 💓 and support you 🥰
To Auntie Keely,
I’ve seen you work so hard this year & been super impressed by your commitment. I often have to check to see if you are ok as it looks so tough.
Hope you enjoy your last championship race of this year & come away smiling 😊
Love Arabella ❤️

From the sweat & tears, to the headlines and records … it’s always about the plan & preparation. Proud of our little team 🤩

So OVER 😭 still being in hospital & just want to go home 🏡 and meet my family so thought I would sleep in my mummy’s dressing gown today. Wonder what else of her’s I can claim as mine? 🤔

For those who didn’t achieve their dream of Tokyo selection over the weekend - the sun ☀️ still rose this morning & will set again this evening. Life is precious so don’t be hard on yourselves or disappointed too long. To even be in contention is special. Assess, plan & move on!
Sad to read articles where
@ciaramageean
is having to defend herself to those accusing her of cheating after a breakthrough season. Anyone in the sport can see this young woman has had this potential but it takes time to get things in place. Don’t let them ruin the moment Ciara!
At training last night: Guy on bike 🚲 delivering Uber stopped & said “I’ve ran 28mins for 10k”. Trev: Really? That’s pretty fast!” Obviously not believing him. He pulled out a video to show him running for it for Eritrea 🇪🇷 & then rode off into the sunset 😂🙈 … Only in Wigan!
Wonderful touch
@WorldAthletics
to award coaches medals too in recognition of their contribution to their athlete’s performances.

It's 14th in the World for Sarah Healy, who bows out of the 1500m at the semi-final stage with a 3:59.68 NU23R to become only the third Irish women to break 4 minutes alongside Ciara Mageean and Sonia O'Sullivan‼️ 👏

4th in the world 🌍 is no easy feat. Amazing to see Georgia step up to this level as we constantly readjust our goals as a team. Indoors has been so much fun 🤩 for her - thanks to her for reminding everyone that’s what it’s about 👌🏼

11 years today we said goodbye to my wonderful Dad. Only when he passed away I noticed the writing in the background 🙏🏻 He’d just won his first battle with cancer & I didn’t even know (Mum & Dad didn’t tell anyone - talk about resilience) so was thrilled to walk me down the aisle
6 weeks post c-section & after not running for 27 weeks - I RAN TODAY 🏃🏼♀️! It wasn’t good & it wasn’t pretty but I’m smiling so wide 😁

wore me down & eventually persuaded me to be his g’friend 🤣, then 9 yrs later to be his wife & today we celebrate 13 yrs of marriage. We’ve enjoyed many victories & suffered many defeats but we’ve done it together. On to the next 👫🥰
With Covid closures we decided to capture our own memory of Arabella’s hand 🖐 & foot 🦶 prints. Cue one strong willed little girl who would not open her palm so a fist would have to do 😂. Pic 1 - what it should look like, Pic 2 - how ours turned out, Pic 3 - the aftermath!! 🙈
3 YEARS ago today I ran my last ever race 🏃🏼♀️The choice to retire was an easy one - I’d done all I could personally (regardless of what others were doing) & spent 28 years doing what I loved 💕. 3 years into retirement & I have awesome memories & no regrets. Cease the moment guys
Just finished work & my twitter feed going crazy. Took a look & seems there was one hell of a race in Glasgow where

@LeighHarriers
A young girl has just told me she wants to be like me when she is older. “Not a runner like you, just like you in general as I think you’re a really nice person!” Oh my heart 💕
Been carrying worry, tension & anxiety around last 5 weeks as my Mum had some concerning symptoms. Thanks 🙏🏻 to wonderful NHS for effort & efficiency: endoscopy, CT scan, colonoscopy, gastro app. No sign of big C or anything sinister - we can now breathe again

Oh my goodness. I’ve just had to cut my husband’s hair ✂️. It was an emotional 😭 experience for us both. His ending comments were “it’s like you’ve done it with a knife and fork”. Somehow he is laughing about it whilst I want to cry. This WILL NEVER happen again!!
@Faster_feet
Important day for Team Hodgkinson but always good to be reminded of what’s going on at home. Arabella enjoyed tea & toast at Church ⛪️ today & now back home playing with her toys - if ONLY she knew what was happening on the other side of the pond 😂 - Big day pending! 🏟🇬🇧
Flight ✈️ 11 and 12 for this little jet setter - Dubai then Johannesburg - 3 continents explored before she has even had her first birthday. Wish us luck on these flights everyone 😂🙈
Heading home after a successful training camp. All athletes in a much better place than when we headed out. We’ll raise a glass 🥃 to that! 🙌🏼

would be in a prime position to give me a simple gesture of pre-event reassurance or post-event affirmation but somehow I missed this until now 🤣🙌🏼
I won 8 of these babies in my career - 7 over 800m & 1 over 400m. Prob didn’t appreciate it & give myself enough credit for my performances at the time! Good luck 🤞🏼 to all athletes & their support teams this weekend! I’ll be there supporting as much as I can
