Hello...

Erm, kinda did my first 10k ,didn’t set out too, but it just kinda happened?!?..πŸ€”πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

I’ve been doing 6ks a couple a week and then on Monday I ran 7 so this morning I decided I would try for 8 but if I couldn’t do it I’d settle for 7 and save 8 for next week.

Well, I didn’t plan it that well because I was doing a loop and a half ( local park run and then the first 3k again) so I got to 6k , felt good, got to seven and decided to try 8..8 was harder but I suddenly realised if I stopped id have to walk back for 2k ( finish the second loop) and I just thought ( this bit sounds stupid) I can’t be arsed to walk back , I’ll run a bit slower to 9k instead , then I got there and thought oh, I’m only 1k away from 10k...and I figured if i stopped at 9 I would bollock myself all day, just get on without man!.So I just kinda kept going. πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ...

Yeah . So , 10k ran to avoid a slow 2k walk. I never said my thinking is in straight lines πŸ™„πŸ€ͺ

I’ve done lots of stretches and I’m planning a little stroll after the school run , but never the less, feeling somewhere between buzzing and strangely surprised I was able to do it?!?

I’m sure there’s more sensible approaches and I would advocate their advice.

Not gonna run now till Saturday park run.

Erm , that’s all. Crazy day πŸ€”

Well done you!

... and what a way to do it, so casual!

Now rest those legs for a couple of days, they've earned it!

Happy running!
