On my way to 10K 😊

[TedG]

I did 7k on Sunday with no phone or watch, just preset route. ‘Twas hard at times but got there and felt good after, no aching limbs, very happy chappy 😀....going for 5 miles on Thurs, will record it this time 😊

Happy running all 🏃🏃🏃🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

There was a humourous point during the run. I saw another runner running towards me in the distance and decided I’d up the pace, as you do, and blow me didn’t he do the same 😂

Said our good mornings as we passed then back to normal pace lol

That’s so funny - I can picture it now 😂🤣

Oh how the ego ‘swells’ the minute we catch site of another runner 🤦🏻‍♀️😆

Wow, brilliant- very impressed. I am still just consolidating 30 min runs & aiming for a park run.

I love the speeding up for another runner! I had a speed up moment yesterday so I didn't get run over in the dark - I felt like I had another runner's legs for a few seconds. 😃

Tbh, I’m surprising myself Elfe5. If you’re feeling good, why not go for it. I’ve registered for a 10K Park Run on Jan 21st so it’s something to aim for... it’s the way I motivate myself 😊

Go for the Parkrun, you’ll be surprised how quick the time goes and, for me, I found it easier having people around me 😊

Good luck and happy running 😊

Nicely done Ted! Enjoy the journey to 10k, I loved it even more than the journey to 5k. I love the speed up as passing another runner 😆, I think we've all done that!

Slow and steady does it... because..it works!!!

Well done Ted, that's absolutely great. I reckon you can get to 10k by the end of January 😁

[TedG Graduate10 in reply to ChrisAllen1]

Thanks Chris, 5mile tomorrow....providing my over indulgence during the festivities doesn’t hinder my performance 😊

[Bluebirdrunner Graduate10]

Thats great Ted...Well done😊...

I was advised that the thought of doing these longer distances is harder than actually running it...and they were right ...😉 Believe in yourself, nice and steady.

Keep up the good work😊xx

Spot on Jan, after doing the 7k, I can taste the 10K....bring it on 😜
