On my way to 10K

[TedG]

What a brilliant day for me to do my run, crisp and sunny....right up my street.

Not a lot to say really, except it went really well....comfort stop at 4mls upset my rhythm for a bit, cold weather has a adverse affect on the old water works these days😳

Completed the 5mls feeling good and very pleased with myself! 😊

Happy running guys 🏃🏃‍♀️🏃🏃‍♀️🏃🏃‍♀️

and a Happy New Year to you all 🍻🥂

‘‘Tis good fun for sure....on target for 10K Parkrun on 21st 😊

Oh you are so there already! Looking good for a 10k very soon, well done!

Good running TedG. Keep up the good work 👍🏃‍♂️👍

[TedG Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Thanks Helen. I’ll do a recovery run on Sunday then maybe go for the 10K the following weekend 😊

[Limawhite Graduate10]

Well done, you.

When I used to run my 10k route, several decades ago, there were public loos at my half way turn around point. That proved extremely useful on a number of occasions! They're not there now, unfortunately, and have been replaced by one of those Tardis-type superloos, which requires money in order to enter .....

Thank you. Benefits of being a man...a tree will do 😳

Well done Ted, you are absolutely nailing it now, meanwhile I'm on the IC with a bad back ☹

[TedG Graduate10 in reply to ChrisAllen1]

Thanks Chris. Excuse my ignorance but what’s the IC?

I’ve had a back complaint for years...Arachnoiditis...and no, it’s nothing to do with spiders 😂

Hope you recover soon mate 😊

Injury couch!!!, I think it is a trapped nerve or Sciatica, might go to a walk in centre tomorrow.

[TedG Graduate10 in reply to ChrisAllen1]

Not a lot you can do about that but rest....hope it clears up soon 😊

[ChrisAllen1 Graduate10]

Thanks Ted, very frustrating but won't let it damp my enthusiasm

[Uphill-downhill Graduate10 in reply to ChrisAllen1]

Chiropractor can be very helpful for assisting re sciatica, expensive but has done the job for me over the years, pregnancy, child birth and a major accident on pushbike. I will use again if it occurs due to running. GP too of course. Good luck with it.

[Fishypieface Graduate10]

Well done, great run! I have 8km to do as well tomorrow, if my leg stops laying up. Slightly nervous about it, but if I can do half as good as you, I'll be chuffed!

[TedG Graduate10 in reply to Fishypieface]

I was feeling apprehensive yesterday morning. The way to combat the nerves is to forget the distance and enjoy the run....I took a different route which was a great help.

Good luck tomorrow, look forward to seeing your post 😊🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[Fishypieface Graduate10 in reply to TedG]

Thank you . That's true, I do have a new route planned - it's very long!!! But it does make a difference when you aren't pounding the same old streets. Fingers crossed!

[TedG Graduate10 in reply to Fishypieface]

Go girl 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[Bluebirdrunner Graduate10]

Oh Brilliant Ted😊...

8k done and dusted. What a great acheivement, and you know you can go further now too!

Stick with your plan you are getting there😊xx
