8k done!

[SANDI_runs]

It's amazing what a bit of healthy competition can do, thanks to cheekychipmunk 😄

I did 8k a couple of weeks ago, but on a treadmill, so doesn't feel like it counts! Was great to get out there tonight and run it in the great outdoors!

10k I'm coming to get you!

That's awesome!! A great time, too. You must be buzzing. 10k watch out

Thanks Antonioa, yes I feel fab! Feels like a real achievement. Amazing when you think back only a few months and I struggled to run for a minute!

Well done Sandi, you are doing great. 2nd 8k knocked out . All runs count but I must admit I prefer to be outside now. I actually found 9k easier than 8k. I hope you do too. 🏃‍♀️👏

[SANDI_runs Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

Thanks Dexy. My next run is "only" a 5k park run. Will try for the 9k next week.

I ended tonight's run as I needed to get home and cook dinner for the family, felt i could easily have gone on.

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to SANDI_runs]

Yes I did my 5k runs at parkrun too. Just love them.

Once you've done 8km all of a sudden the 10km seems possible. Go for it! Medal awaiting 🏅

[SANDI_runs Graduate10 in reply to BaddieThePirate]

There's a 10k event near me in 2 weeks, think I might just enter. Would love a medal 🏅

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10 in reply to SANDI_runs]

Very brace. Go for it!

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10 in reply to BaddieThePirate]

Brave!

Great achievement well done👍

[SANDI_runs Graduate10 in reply to Mckennamark]

Thanks 😁

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10]

Yesss Sandi!! 👏👏👏👏 We’re on a roll! 10k better be quaking in its boots. 😅 Very well done you. Aren’t we all clever runners? 👍👏😀🏃‍♀️🏃

[SANDI_runs Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

As I completed c25k I thought 5k was my limit. I was happy running 5k and thought I don't need to run any further.

Now I'm going to apply for a 10k race and am eyeing up 1/2 marathons! Who would've thought it!!!

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to SANDI_runs]

Half marathons? 😳😳😳 Whoa, awesome, good for you! 👏👏 Possibly a step too far for this snail, simply not enough hours in the day! 😅 I’ll be happy pootling along doing 10k, but I’ll love watching all you guys going for the mega runs! Hope there’s a forum I can lurk on! 😀🏃‍♀️😀

[SANDI_runs Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

It won't be any time soon, just feel as 10k feels so achievable that I need something else to strive for - maybe next summer!

[Deals1 Graduate10]

Well done! 😀

Go Sandi go!! 🤩🤩🤩👌🏽! Well done you!! ❤️

Thanks Fabulous x

[EL82 Graduate10]

Brilliant 8k! If your moving then it counts! I have never run on a treadmill but I imagine it would be harder as there are less distractions. when I'm feeling tired I look around me at the lovely scenery and it makes me forget the pain! Good luck on your 10k journey your almost there!

[Jelon]

Fab well done you’re well on the way. Enjoy 😊

[Tartancat Graduate10]

Well done SANDI_runs - though of course running on a treadmill counts!

That cheekychipmunks is inspiring all of us. She deserves a medal👑
