Day 1 of training for a 10K!

[Maybe58]

Ran at 9am as it was cool, heat rising as we went along. New route today with lots of shade thank goodness. I don’t do well in anything over 25 degrees! On the plus side no rain means I can get out there to run.

You can run when it rains 👍😃

[Maybe58 Graduate10 in reply to misswobble]

Ha ha, I’ll probably run in the rain just for novelty value, can’t even remember when it last rained 🤔

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to Maybe58]

We had a spatter of rain and rumbles of thunder last evening but I still had to water the garden today. Well done on starting your bridge210k. Are you maybe 58 or maybe born in 1958?

[Maybe58 Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

Are you male or female?

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to Maybe58]

I’m female, what about you?

[Maybe58 Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

Sorry, stupid question, blame it on the heat! I’m female too! I used ‘Maybe58’ as I couldn’t make my mind up to start the plan to 5K, it was so daunting. I was 58 at the time. I’m still surprised that I’ve made it this far 🤔

Yay! "You're on it like a bonnet" as my offspring like to say.....

[Maybe58 Graduate10 in reply to Empem]

Never heard that one! 😊

[Empem Graduate10 in reply to Maybe58]

Do keep up!

[Maybe58 Graduate10 in reply to Empem]

Hang on, is it one of those regional ‘sayings’?

[Empem Graduate10 in reply to Maybe58]

No not this time, just pesky youngsters slang hoping to keep us lagging behind! But I love it. However neither of my teens , I reckon, could keep up with me when I'm running!

[Maybe58 Graduate10 in reply to Empem]

I’m going to use on my 14 year old granddaughter later today. She may be amazed I’m ‘down with the kidz’...

[Maybe58 Graduate10 in reply to Empem]

Well I tried it and it went down like a lead balloon. Apparently no one says it anymore!

[Empem Graduate10 in reply to Maybe58]

Makes me chuckle...but then people don't do that any more either...they emoji instead!

😆😆😆

[misswobble Graduate10 in reply to Maybe58]

On it, like a car bonnet !

I think it is. According to the young person here today 😁

Running in the rain is lovely. Especially when it’s hot (not. That it’s raining, but I got a nice lady hosing her garden to spray me too as I passed the other day)

[Maybe58 Graduate10]

Excellent, I’ll certainly look out for gardens being watered on next run😉

[Razouski]

Well done for your first run on “the bridge”.

I used to hate the thought of running in the rain, but when it’s warm it’s ok. When it’s cold and oblique in the wind it’s not so nice. 😉

[Maybe58 Graduate10 in reply to Razouski]

Ha ha, I suspect that I will meet ‘rain’ on several runs over winter.

[ju-ju- Graduate10]

Well done

[Ripcurlrana71 Graduate10]

Well done on taking the first step across the bridge to 10K! It’s a great plan - loving it! 😬🙌🏼💪🏼
