Hey Runners
Super excited about my 6k achievements today. I was up, kit on and very pleased to have dug out my short capris with the side pockets for keys and phone! No bumbag required today I think!! Nice 👍🏽!! It’s my longest run and I achieved my fastest mile too 😃.
And extra bonus......I met up with the lovely Equi-geek again at our local Parkrun 🤩! We have a quick hug and a quick chat with lots of smiles and then we are off! Excited...you bet!! I know I have to plan to run on as it’s my first 6k in my Nike+ Programme. The app thinks I’m ready! Thanks for the confidence. I’m feeling ok about it, but while getting my running stats every 500m, I’m not entirely sure I can do it. But, I think about how far I have come and I know I have it in me. Equi had said early that I should run on, as she was taking it gently today! 🤗 And we set off! Well, I have to say that Equi ran superbly! She not only was right with me most of the way she was ahead of me towards the end of the 5k! I had to tell her to run on as I had to keep in mind the added 1k! She was a running vision!! So proud to see her running ahead looking superbly strong in her running style. Lovely pink top too!! Couldn’t miss her!! That’s it, stand out and run proud girl!! Nice!! It made me smile to think of how far we have come!! 😁😍!
Now...I can’t miss telling you about my wardrobe malfunctions. Well....you know those capri’s? 🙄 what a pain in the bum they were. Looking like John Wayne in a Wild West film 🎥, with my phone bulging one side pocket and my car keys in the other! I run and the fit around the knee bend starts to pull my capri’s down as I run! Mmmm... too small perhaps? It seemed ok when I bought them, but I can feel the pull every step I run. What’s going on here? 🤣🤣 Despite the crowd, there’s only one thing for it. Those behind overt your eyes, I’ve got some hoiking up to do here. So I manage no more than about 2k at a time, before I think, time for a hoik! Grab the waste and puulll!! 💪🏽 I probably looked totally ridiculous, but not as ridiculous as if I didn’t do that. 😊 I did have to chuckle at myself!! Capri’s indeed! 🤨 I’m not sure when I’ll be putting those particular ones back on. I’ll stick to the longer running gear. But, my running is still full of adventure! And plenty of laughs!
I had my sprint finish moment at the end of my 6k too! That always feels amazing!! There’s something about seeing a finish line, that just tells these legs it’s time to go go go!! Love it!! 😍 I did the 6.08k (I’m having the .08! 😂) in 46:25. Proud of myself.
Now I’m feeling bouncy and ready for a great weekend! There’s a lot of great energy at Parkruns and it feels so good to have experienced it again. Thank you running! You’ve changed my life!! 🤩
Happy running Runners! ❤️
