Done 10k

[BaddieThePirate]

It rained all night. It rained all morning.

I went to work in the pink so to speak! so it didn't take long to get changed after work (early finish on a Friday). The sun came out 🌤and we decided to run the Sett Valley Trail as it is surfaced rather than a muddy, slippery towpath.

We chatted all the way there and back, and it was a lovely run. We were about the same pace so neither of us were trying to run at a pace that seemed awkward.

I gave my work mate a lift home and got treated to a cup of tea and an early mince pie. Yum!

Then I tried to go home but there was a huge traffic jam. Called in for petrol then by the time I got home I was a bit cold. Hot shower, protein filled omelette and off for a night out celebrating.

Now I'm shattered which is good because I was quite wired after my 10km! run. Think I'm gonna sleep really well tonight. I'm hoping when I wake up the badge fairy will have been and put a shiny graduate badge by my name.

I'm beginning to feel like a runner 😀

(I was SO grateful for the change in the weather from grotty to lovely, and for my lovely wicking pink top).

Baddie that’s awesome! Very well done! 👏👏👏👏👏👏 How you could chat to your running friend is something I’ll never know! I don’t even get out of breath really, but I know I’d be monosyllabic! 😅

You certainly are a runner, and a brilliant one. Fabulous! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Thank you. It was a skull I always coverted. Erm skill, I meant skill. Oops slip of the tongue! So I practiced it with the local running group! You could practice too and become chattycheekychipmunks 😀

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to BaddieThePirate]

Hahaha, yes I could! For now I’ll just talk to myself - then when I don’t answer I won’t be offended! 😅

[LoungeLizaard Graduate10]

Brilliant - well done Baddie! You will need to claim your badge tho, it’s not often the faeries are about.

There should be a pinned post for October where you can claim it

Thank you I'll go and have a look...

[GoGo_JoJo Graduate10]

Superb! Well done 💪👍🏅 great feeling isn't it? 😁

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10 in reply to GoGo_JoJo]

Amazing. From practically crippled with pain to runner! I never dreamed I'd be a Lycra clad jogging person. I get it now!

[Sandraj39 Graduate10]

The dizzy height of the podium. And this one is twice as high as the last one! I think I deserve more chocolate!

[Tartancat Graduate10]

Huge congratulations, sounds like the weather gods were smiling on you too!

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10 in reply to Tartancat]

I did a little weather dance when I got up in the morning. So lucky, it was SNOWING here this morning!

That's just fantastic Baddie. How nice to run comfortably with someone. Hope you slept well. Glad your pink top worked a treat.

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Yes, it was lovely to have company on the 'big' run. This guy saw how disabled I'd become, and saw me come back from that so I got a big well done, a cup of tea and a mince pie from him 😀It's nice to have someone notice how you're doing. Although he did say he was joking when he first said he'd come running with me. His words were 'I thought you'd run a mile!' In the end I ran 6, and so did he. Serves him right for teasing!

A BIG thank you to you lot. My virtual running buddies who kept me going! 👏👏👏

[Hidden]

Brilliant run, so good to read about that, quite an occasion don’t you think? And flippin’ heck, that’s a decent time too.

Also it looks like your run was about 5 miles from where I live. Small world etc etc

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

P.s. of course you’re a runner, dafty

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

A pink runner!

Forgot to say not too far from you. I do want to run on the Middlewood way one day fairly soon.

Did you get the snow this morning?

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Brilliant occasion! I'm made up. I wrote thank you notes to my GP and Rheumatologist a few week ago. This run was called 'The miracle of medicine (keep taking the pills!)

[FormulaRun Graduate10]

Fantastic-well done - and chatting too - I’m impressed!!! Look forward to seeing you shining new badge on your next post!!

Well done and a cracking time. You see, new running gear definitely speeds you up - i should know with the amount I've bought!

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10]

I was more comfortable. Goodbye to the sweat patches down my back! I'm hooked on pink now too!

[Jelon]

Wow well done and in the pink too!! 😀

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10]

That's my kind of humour! Pink shoes, top, jacket AND face! All matching 😊
