B10K Plan Last Run - Postponed due to bleurgh!

[TailChaser]

Well, today was going to be the biggie...a 10k the day before my birthday. But it is absolutely pi...throwing it down outside, much as I love 🦆🦆🦆 I’m not one and I still haven’t got enough running gear to cope with torrential rain for over an hour (has anyone?!).

I’ve had a pretty stressful week, lacking sleep, so maybe this isn’t a bad thing as I only went out on Monday so it can be an extra rest day. Luckily I’ve got tomorrow off and it’s supposed to be sunny but a bit chilly, ideal! Just annoyed as I really didn’t want to run tomorrow, I wanted to DO THIS if just for the stress relief. Ah well, the best laid plans...

This afternoon’s plans have changed to buying cake and croissants for tomorrow!

So tomorrow, all being well, go out and nail that 10k once the morning traffic has died down first thing, apply for a nice shiny Graduate10 badge for my personal birthday present, then spend the rest of the day eating cake and croissants with TOTAL JUSTIFICATION! 😂😂😂

Happy running everybody 🏃‍♀️🏃🏻‍♂️🦆🤞🤗

Thanks Flara, that’s what I thought too - why drown today when you can stuff yourself silly tomorrow 😁 x

[Katnap Graduate10]

Nevermind.

Go shopping instead and ace it tomorrow!

😸

Tomorrow will be the day TailChaser...

A birthday 10k...the conditions will be better and you will buzz all day!

Will look for your post...Good luck!😊xx

A double celebration afterwards too!

[TailChaser Graduate10 in reply to Bluebirdrunner]

Thanks Bluebird, I’m actually looking forward to it! And the Parkrun podcast might be out by then to listen to too 😁

[Tartancat Graduate10]

What a birthday it will be! All the best for your 10k and have a great day 🎂

[TailChaser Graduate10 in reply to Tartancat]

Thanks Tartancat, yum yum cake with added enjoyment 😁🍰

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

Our weather is bright sunshine and heavy showers alternatively. You’d get wet very quick.

Yes it’s definitely better to delay your first 10k for a nicer day so you can bask in the glory rather than feel like a drowned rat wanting it to be over.

I look forward to your birthday/graduation post. You can do this TC. 👍

[TailChaser Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

Thanks Dexy, yes, similar here. Currently carb loading on fruit scone with Katnap 😁 I’ll let you know how it goes 🤞🏃🏻‍♀️🦆

I don't think you were listening properly to that lecture on carb loading 🤨

[Deals1 Graduate10]

[TailChaser Graduate10 in reply to Deals1]

Thanks Deals 🤞😀

[Equi-geek Graduate10]

I think you're right - it'll be a birthday to remember! Enjoy shopping for all those goodies this afternoon, and after you run 10k you can thoroughly tuck in!

[TailChaser Graduate10 in reply to Equi-geek]

Thanks Equi-geek. Couldn’t decide on the cakes so bought two 😋

[CatMo13]

Oh I hope so CatMo, I’ve just laid my kit out at the end of the bed...thank you 😊🤞🤞🤞
