It’s getting a bit late so I think the title says most of it! We’ve now done 3/4 of the 10mile Run in 1hr:32 and I could have gone further but my running buddy was on empty from the start and had to stop with cramp in her side. That’s our last long run done! I’m pleased with my pre-run hydration and nutrition (largely consisting of bananananas), my kit, my lacing setup, and socks are sorted, and yet I also had chafing for the first time running - highlighting areas requiring Vaseline on the day 🤣
I went for a meal out afterwards with my parents, as I’m lucky they are still about, and refuelled on tea and fruit salad - even though there was hot brownie on offer??? 🤪 When did I ever look at the fruit option on a menu and genuinely want it 🤔🤔🤔 Never. What’s happened to me? 🤣🤣👏👏👏🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️

10mile guided!? 😱 think I’ll be stepping it back after the big event for a while!

Yeah... they’ve started to do distance based guided... one and 10 miles out today, I’m assuming more next week or that’s a big jump 😂
Enjoy your event.

You may also like... nice comfortable pace, even with my daughter running too! 🤣
Had an idea to try 12k today, felt...
today.
When I’ve run tomorrow that will be 50 runs in 124 days, averaging one run every 2.48 days...
very proud of me today, I completed my 50th run today. All done at the same venue, my local park....
come with me and run off the lead. 😀
I left the house debating how far to actually run. I decided...
Glorious drizzle , brilliant run..
Smashed my 10K by a whole TWO Minutes 🎉🏃♀️💪
That's all I have
