80% there.....

[MikeJones68]

I headed off at my usual late time last night, dodging ice patches on the footpaths and admiring the sky full of stars, with the intention to do at least 7k and see how I felt after that. My last 2 runs I have felt very heavy at about 3k, but that lifts by the 4th and last night I reached the 7k and felt good to go on. 8k came up quicker than I thought and caught me by surprise. I felt I could go further, but decided it best not to push too hard and run the risk of injury or slipping over on ice.

10k, I'm coming for you!

Well done Mike, great run 🏃🏃

Wise to stop at 8k, there’s no rush and anyway, I don’t want another getting in front of me 😜

Did my 8k yesterday so see you on the podium 😀

Wow...that is FABULOUS 😊 well done...there is absolutely no stopping you now...10k will be easy peasy lemon squeezy 🍋🍋

[Millsie-J]

Excellent stuff.. and very speedy again ;)... Just Jealous

Seems like there will be a few of us up on the podium in a week or 2 with a bit of luck and a following wind

I just don't seem to be able to go any slower, even though I was being very careful to avoid ice!

See you on the podium

Interesting about the 3k mark - I think it’s my ‘wall’ at the moment. Must take a ladder!!!!!

[MikeJones68 Graduate10 in reply to Gillma]

It's odd isn't it. Once I've passed that mark I am fine, all the aches disappear and the breathing comes naturally. Maybe I should start at 3k......

[Gillma]

ooh me, too - maybe I should plumb that in to my brain!
