7K today

[kwell39]

I am a bit ahead on Ju-Ju’s plan. I look forward each week to my long run and can’t wait to break that 10K barrier.

My quest for 7K on my run yesterday had me going a little further. I didn’t want to stop! I felt great, had energy at the end to sprint for the finish and my legs were still going strong. I had to force myself to stop as to avoid too much too soon. But alas, it felt superb.

My rest days become longing for the next day I can lace up my trainers and hit the pavement. I’ve become a nut!

🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽! Fantastic Kwell! You sound as though you’re in the zone and smashing it! Brilliant!! ❤️

Thanks Fabulous! I’m really enjoying this running thing. 😊

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to kwell39]

You can tell!! It’s infectious to read! Well done! 😍❤️

Isn't it great! I always feel like going for a run fairly soon after I've done one, like an hour later, but next run day I often feel lazy (certainly in this weather) and have to give myself a shove out the door!

[Katnap Graduate10]

Nice work kwell39. Its good to see you are resisting the temptation to run on your rest days

Always leave yourself wanting more! 😸

[kwell39 Graduate10 in reply to Katnap]

That isn’t an issue for me yet! 😂 I hope I will always want to do a little more than I should.

[Katnap Graduate10 in reply to kwell39]

Agreed. You don't want to feel like you've had enough or get injured from overdoing it.

[UnfitNoMore Graduate10]

Great job... I’m hopeless on rest days too 😂

Not far to 10k now

[kwell39 Graduate10 in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Thanks UnFit. 10K... then half marathon. It doesn’t seem so insurmountable as it did when I first started C25K.

[UnfitNoMore Graduate10 in reply to kwell39]

I think once we manage to get off that damn couch we can do anything. The 10% addition guidelines do ramp up the mileage quite quickly too!

[kwell39 Graduate10 in reply to UnfitNoMore]

I completely agree. Getting off the couch was the most difficult part. I do still sit on it on occasion. I just try not to stay there. 🤭

Another nut - that’s what I’m talking about! 👏👏👏

Fantastic run kwell. You’re going to smash 10k out the park. Isn’t it wonderful to have running to look forward to? I’m the same as you, and think about my next run on every rest day! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[kwell39 Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Thanks Cheeky! Isn’t it fun to have this new found hobby that is good for us? Thanks for all your posts that have inspired me on my journey! 😊

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to kwell39]

It certainly is kwell! And you’re welcome. I love to send positive vibes to people as I received so many myself, and still do! Lovely community. ❤️🏃‍♀️🏃

Woah! 😁😁😁 Just slightly over your target then kwell39!!! 😂😂😂 You really didn't want to stop then did you? I guess you had to trip yourself up, or jump into a bush or something to be able to stop... you're such a run junkie! love it. 🤜🤛 Excellent work, well done you ⚡⚡

[kwell39 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Thanks Thunder and yes, just a tad over... 😂. Once those legs get going, they have a mind of their own! 🤣🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️

[ju-ju- Graduate10]

Superb, this is so good to read, well done you 😎

[kwell39 Graduate10 in reply to ju-ju-]

Thanks Ju-Ju! ♥️

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

Well done Kwell. 7k done and dusted ( I assume it is anyway, I haven’t done the conversion from miles)

[kwell39 Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

Thanks Dexy! I can’t wait for 8K on my next long run.
