I don't suppose you know why my right hand bar has disappeared? Only just realised when you mentioned claiming my badge.

What device are you using?

I have only just seen this. I see you have your lovely badge, so perhaps your right hand bar has reappeared. I have 'lost' the facility to see all my notifications, so if several people reply to me, I can only see the top 5. I used to be able to click on, 'view all notifications'. Any ideas how to re-instate my notifications would be happily received.

That's fantastic TSword! 😸

Are you planning on consolidating at 10k for a while?

TSwordGraduate10 in reply to Katnap

Yes I'm going to stick here for a while and work on timing and technique

Ooh! Technique? Sounds flash. Is the posture? If you're avoiding time on the IC then you must be something right! 😸

I need to work on my pace. I always seem to start off too fast.

Well done! 10K is a great stepping stone, a comfort training sofa towards half marathon. Go and play with that distance, at least once/twice per month until it becomes, well, a comfort training sofa towards your next step. Enjoy!
