I made it!! 8km and feeling good!!

[RunBrianRun]

I won’t lie. That was bloody hard but I stuck with it and pushed through those horrible gremlins. Need to rest up now as that hurt but mentally I feel great!

[Hidden]

Well done! You give me hope

[RunBrianRun Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you Flick! Glad I gave you hope. It’s a good thing to have a target even if I was a tad ambitious this time.

[Millsie-J]

Well done Brian! You did what you had planned yeayyyyyyy!

Take a few rest days now and bathe in that glow!

[RunBrianRun Graduate10 in reply to Millsie-J]

Thanks Millsie I will be taking a few days rest for sure! Somethings bound to hurt tomorrow but hopefully I stretched off properly this time afterwards.

Woo hoo that’s fantastic... I love the idea of the t shirt with your enormous number on it. Well done.

[RunBrianRun Graduate10 in reply to ju-ju-]

LOL, thanks Ju ju. the t shirt was hilarious. But at least there were a good few of us wearing them so didn’t feel too stupid.

[pinkaardvark Graduate10]

Well done and glad no bits fell off on route hehe

[RunBrianRun Graduate10 in reply to pinkaardvark]

Ha ha!! I’ll let you know tomorrow if all the bits are still where they should be!!

[Pm3eak Graduate10]

Well done Brian. Great result.

[RunBrianRun Graduate10 in reply to Pm3eak]

Thank you!!

[HeleneCorsa Graduate10]

Good work Brian! Enjoy your rest.

[RunBrianRun Graduate10 in reply to HeleneCorsa]

Thank you Helene!! I will be resting up tomorrow but half of me wants to hit the gym for some ungodly reason!!

[HeleneCorsa Graduate10 in reply to RunBrianRun]

At least leave the other half in bed then...

[RunBrianRun Graduate10 in reply to HeleneCorsa]

😂😂😂

[Bluebirdrunner Graduate10]

Well done Brian!... you pulled it off😆😉

Great run😊x

[RunBrianRun Graduate10 in reply to Bluebirdrunner]

thank you jan jan!! I did it!! Still can’t quite believe it. 40 mins too! mind you I thought I was going to pass out at the end!!

[pinkaardvark Graduate10 in reply to RunBrianRun]

That's amazing. 5mins per km in the heat. 🏅🏆🎖🥇

[RunBrianRun Graduate10 in reply to pinkaardvark]

My bad. It was 48.20. My Fitbit lied. My buddy who was running with me had all the proper gear and gently corrected me this morning. 😂

[pinkaardvark Graduate10 in reply to RunBrianRun]

lol, still pretty quick though and considering you weren't sure you could manage it the other day it's pretty great you did.

[Sadie-runs Graduate10]

Good work, Brian, that’s impressive! Well done. 😀👏😀👏

[RunBrianRun Graduate10]

I won’t lie. Everything hurts today, and I’m coughing up some bad stuff too. Off to the docs in an hour.

[HeleneCorsa Graduate10 in reply to RunBrianRun]

Oh no! I hope you're ok. Keep us informed.

[pinkaardvark Graduate10 in reply to RunBrianRun]

Oh crikey, here's hoping you just got a lungful of sand or such like.. you're in Oman? is that right? Maybe you inhaled too much camel

Hope your well.

[RunBrianRun Graduate10]

Verdict is I have bronchitis. Lovely. That’ll stop me running for a few days. 😭 Doc was amazed that I even ran at all yesterday but I didn’t feel too bad then.

[HeleneCorsa Graduate10 in reply to RunBrianRun]

Sorry to hear this. Take it easy though, don't push yourself until you're better. Bronchitis can linger if you don't let your body fight it off properly.

[RunBrianRun Graduate10 in reply to HeleneCorsa]

Grazie Helene! I’m going to take a few days rest now and see if it improves enough. Maybe just do weights or core at the gym instead. Shame as I was just starting to make real progress with my run yesterday.
