I did it!! Up bright and early to beat the heat. Armed with my electrolyte drink and my running legs off to the beach I went.

Link to my vid: relive.cc/view/1685695996

There was no way I wasn’t going to do 10K today. The fabulous HoagyM was waiting at the B210K podium for me thought I’d better not keep him waiting!

Not much more to say apart from such a great plan ju-ju- . 👏🏼👏🏼 Thank you!

What next? Rest Run Repeat! 🏃🏻‍♀️ 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️

Happy running everyone! Will wait for my fellow B210kers at the podium. Don’t blame me if I’m a bit sloshed when you get there! 🥂 xx

Wowsers! Very well done. That was much quicker than I expected. How has it all been?

Thank you! Quicker than I expected too!! Faster progress than C25k. The extra 1k a week is very doable once 5k is comfortable for you to run. What’s great about this plan is it’s not about time just distance. 😊

Going to start in August. Just need to consolidate these 5ks.

Fantastic result, well done!!👍👍 I’m looking forward to completing B210K myself in a couple of months time with any luck 🤞🤞 Keep a place on the podium for me! 😀

Happy running!

Very well done... you have done well.

I remember the euphoria of the first 10K well...sigh!

Plenty of stretching and make sure you massage those calf muscles... beach running has its cons as well as its pros:) x

Enjoy the party and try to save some champers for the others:)

Ripcurlrana71 profile image
Ripcurlrana71Graduate10 in reply to Oldfloss

Thanks Oldfloss ! A fabulous achievement like graduating C25k all over again 😊. I’ll stretch whilst I party. 💃🏽 Definetly a few rest days before next run though. X

Well done!!! And look at your time, brilliant. I've done several 10k + runs now and still can't come anywhere near your time. Brilliant collage too - love the 10k in the sand :)

Thank you Flick! I am pleased with my run but definetly only possible on flat and in cool weather. xx

in reply to Ripcurlrana71

still a brilliant run xx

That is absolutely fantastic! Way to smash it out of the park 💥

You will be sozzled by the time I get there as I'm on the slow bus. Having to slow things down as my right leg is fighting the plan! Had hoped to graduate before I go into surgery as I don't know when I'll be fit afterwards, but don't see that happening now.

Bloody good show Rip, you'll have to keep the side up for all of us 😘

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 💫🏆💫🏃‍♀️💫💞🍾🥂

Thank you my lovely. xx What surgery??! 😯 xx

in reply to Ripcurlrana71

I'm having a parotidectomy on the 17th. Took me until Thursday at the pre-assessment to find out what it was called! I have a lump in my salivary gland so they're removing that along with part of the gland. Thought you were involved with the chat the other day, so apologies, didn't realise you didn't know.

Anyway, enough about me, this is your day! You are AMAZING!!!

Love ya 😘😘😘💕

Oh gosh what a terrible friend I am!!! 😭 I’m sorry to hear that. Also sorry if I did and forgot completely!!! 😔

What’s the recovery time like in something like this?? Xxx

in reply to Ripcurlrana71

Not sure and they just say "everyone's different"! I know they say no strenuous exercise for a week. Read a girl's diary post-op online and she was struggling to jog after 3 weeks 😭 But....everyone's different 😁

Well done you. Pretty good time too, although I expect you’ll soon get that down too. I can’t wait to get back to it...

One week done , 11 to go 😟. It’s worse than prison sentence, at least I’d be able to run there. 🤣🤣

Ripcurlrana71Graduate10 in reply to limberlou

Thanks Lou. I feel your pain must be so hard just waiting for the time to pass. You’re a natural though so won’t take you long to get back to fitness. You smashed 10K first! Xx

Morning Rip 😀

Bit of a lie in this morning (got in at 1:00 last night after concert at Hyde Park), so slow to congratulate you. Sounds like another really lovely early morning run along the sea front, and no surprise of course that you smashed the 10k barrier!

Massive well done, it’s great to get to that milestone isn’t it - and I especially like the “10k” written in the sand 🥇🏃🏻‍♀️👏🍾🥂

That is absolutely fantastic Ripcurlrana - this girl can. there is no catching up with you now. You really have been an inspiration to many and fully deserve to celebrate in style. Now don’t get too sloshed as you still have the footie to get through.
