YAY 10k!

[Fionn42]

Well I’ve finally done it! Taken me two and a half months to complete ju-ju’s 10 is the Magic Number plan but this morning I finally got there!

My lovely OH dropped me off at one end of the old railway line and met me at the other end, an hour and ten minutes later. The rain peed down the whole way and I nearly got blown over crossing the old viaduct as the crosswind was incredible but I didn’t care.

Slow and steady pace (see Floss, we do listen!) and I actually felt ok at the end - I could even speak, which is a major achievement!

So, am now a very happy 10k running bunny! 😁🤸🏼‍♀️🏃‍♀️😁.

Well done on your 10k!! It sounds like you worked really hard for that, but you did't let the rain beat you. Great job! 😀👏👏👏👏

I was mighty glad when I got to the end and the hot shower and mug of coffee when I got home we’re just bliss 😁😊

well deserved Fionn!

[Tasha99 Graduate10]

Well done. Did you start with C25k?

[Fionn42 in reply to Tasha99]

I did indeed! Best programme out there. I finished c25k quite a while ago and was sure I would never achieve 10k but very slow and steady build up and plenty of consolidation, and here I am. If I can do it, anyone can.

[Tasha99 Graduate10 in reply to Fionn42]

Wow that’s amazing! I’ll keep that in mind!
