Hiya! Just finished my post-run routine of drinking pints of squash and stretching. This will be shorter than my usual ramble because Iβm downing some carbs in the hope Iβll be OK for Saturday Parkrun π€£
It was a similar route to the 9.5k last week, with a repeat short leg at the end. You were all there running with me individually at certain points, and as a group too - I hope you all know how special youβve made this journey and how much Iβve learned from youβ€οΈ
The last km was a slog, I shallnβt lie - only because the outside of my leg started to pull. But up to that point it was running nirvana! Different lacing worked (no bruised toenails) different socks didnβt (a blister for the first time running!) - and no idea why my shoulder now hurts because I was deliberately trying to relax my upper body - still learning! Still, the splits showed we were 14s per km quicker on this run than the 9.5k - which I was gobsmacked about!
The icing on the cake was that weβd just finished and a guy walking his dog said βHave you ladies thought about joining the running club?β And he was SERIOUS! π€£π So I had to explain I had just finished my first 10K, and I was 50 next week, and and and... (π§ to π: shut up, woman! π€¦πΌββοΈ).
Happy running everyone - I shall sleep very well tonight if I donβt overload on pasta ππΎπ πβ
