First 10K!

So proud! Got to 6K today after setting off deliberately slower than usual and decided I’m doing the 10K today. Everything felt right. (Strange considering I may have drank more alcohol than I have in some time at a BBQ yesterday 😆). Need to start believing in myself now. Only started running mid February and graduated mid April from couch to 5K. Not bothered at the time just glad to have got to 10K. Would never have believed it. Thanks for all the posts and positivity- it really helps ☺️

Clare that is amazing. You have really smashed it. Make sure you give your legs a good rest and don’t forget to rehydrate! (Unless it’s another barbie, then rehydrate later 😉). X

Have not stopped drinking (water☺️). Going out for slow evening walk to try and prevent stiffness and then it’s feet up with a cup of tea!

Wow, well done, and an excellent time too x

Thanks. I put all thoughts of times and comparing with others to one side. Went out and did my own thing and went the distance. So very pleased.

Good for you. Glad you didn’t worry about anyone else and just ran for you. Well done 👍
