First 10k

[Halfpintgill]

I am 'running' my first 10k event this morning at Preston. I have only ever run 9k as my furthest distance so far. Very nervous but I am after that medal! 😄 If I have to walk a bit I don't mind🏃‍♀️

Morning Halfpint!

This is so exciting. Dont worry about that extra 1k, the race adrenaline will get you there. If you have run 9k you can definitely cover the 10k. Just remember not to set off too quick and then head for the bling. We will want photos of course 😀 Enjoy!

Good luck. Dying to hear all about it later

Wow, you must be so excited. I am sure that you will be able to cover 10km. Just make sure you don’t set off too quickly, as it’s easy to get caught up along in the rush of all the speedy experienced runners. I’m sure you’ll be great. Good luck.

Good luck 🍀I’m sure you’ll do it no problem 👍🏃‍♀️

U will of have completed this now ..... And hopefully basking in the glory

[Halfpintgill Graduate10]

All done and got the bling 😊 unfortunately I had a fight with a tree branch at 5km, the branch won. So I did a sort of hobbily walk/run for the second 5km. Now sporting a rather swollen knee and a fetching ice pack. But it was worth it! Chip time was 1:15:30 so not too bad considering!

Well Done Halfpintgill, a good time considering your 2nd half was not at normal pace. I hope your knee feels better soon. Nice to get some bling. Does this count as graduation or are going to do 10K again without the branch?

🏃‍♀️👏🏅

[Halfpintgill Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

I think it's a graduation- still got the bling despite the branch, didn't give up!!

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to Halfpintgill]

Congratulations. Yippee! 🏃‍♀️👏🏅🍾🥂🏆

Well my Saturday mornings are normally spent ferrying the children around to their activities so I haven’t made one yet 😔
