Did it! So now I know my first one wasn’t a fluke. 😅 I even shaved over 5 minutes off the first time and ran today’s in about 1hr 21 minutes! The photo shows me resembling a 🍅 as usual, but a very proud one so I don’t care. 😅😅
I used my beautiful new Garmin, but our WiFi is down at home and my phone wouldn’t let me install Garmin Connect without it. Still, I felt like a real runner wearing it (which I guess I am - I ran 10k today!) 🎉🎉
Thanks to ju-ju- for the fab Magic 10. It helps me so much having structure. I’ll be hopping on board again next time! And thanks to all you wonderful folk on here. You make running even more fun! 🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃🏃
Next landmark for me is my double parkrun on New Years Day! 👍🏃♀️🐕
Enjoy the rest of the Festive period, continue eating, drinking and being merry, and here’s to many more happy runs in 2019! 🎉🎉🎉

Congratulations on anther 10k - I was more excited about my second 10k than my first because, like you say, you can stop believing the first was just a fluke.
Haha yes I never thought about the Christmas lunch factor Beanjo! Out for more food and drink this afternoon. I think I’ve earned it though, you’re right! 😅👍
Well done cheeky, you look so happy in the photo after completing your second 10k, that red glow is full of joy, no fluke, good luck for your runs in 2019, have a happy running injury free new year.
I agree with you that running is awesome, however, this morning I went on a 12 Kilometre 17000+ step WALK for Boxing Day, just felt after the excess food I had yesterday that it was better walking 🚶than running. 😊 🏃
Thanks Ang. I’m anticipating more rubbish this afternoon than yesterday, hence me picking today as run day. Plus it’ll give me an extra rest day before parkrun on Saturday. 👍🏃♀️🐕
Well done CC, brilliant effort. I am so pleased to have reached my first 10k on the day you did your second one!! Thanks for all the good advice....now disappear and celebrate! 😊🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇
Awww brilliant BC! Huge congratulations to you too. 👏👏👏 I intend to celebrate all afternoon, starting in approximately 15 minutes. Make sure you do as well! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Well done on your 2nd 10k. And to shave 5 minutes off is a massive achievement. That’s fantastic you really should be so proud of yourself 💪💪🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇
Thanks Linda, running 10k really is huge and apart from a bit of leg fatigue towards the end, I could have gone on. I can’t say enough good things about C25K and B210K. I’d never have been a runner without them. ❤️
I don’t know about you Flara, but I don’t sweat much apart from when I’m on the treadmill, or it’s really hot outside. I do go very red though, and I continue cooking for a good hour afterwards, getting redder and redder! 🍅🍅🍅😅😅😅
Woohoo well done to you too Katnap! Today’s been a good day! 👏👏👏👏
Well done cheek-ster! Great work on your second 10K via Ju-Ju’s program, it’s been great to watch you progress through it, and so nice to that you’ve been surprising yourself at the strength and power that you now possess. Oh... and you’ve been a real runner for ages...😁⚡️
Will keep an eye out for the New Years double park run post, sounds awesome 😎 👏👏👏
Thanks TS! I’ve loved the Magic 10 plan, and even though it wasn’t a million miles off my 10k ‘flying solo’ journey the first time round, doing it with a bunch of VRBs made it more fun. I’ll do it again right away!
Can’t wait for the double parkrun, and I’ll definitely be posting about it. 🏃♀️🐕💪👍🎉
Thank you for your kind words Maya, I hope you had a wonderful Christmas too! 🎄🏃♀️😀
Yes, our 2 local parkruns are ‘holding the double’ on New Years Day, one at 9am, the other at 10.30 - and I was talked into doing them both! The first one is a 2.5k up, 2.5k down course. I tried it out last weekend and loved it - strangely! My regular parkrun is next and that has some mean hills too. So both parkruns back to back! Crazy!!!! 😅
Yes my dog loves parkrun and she’s well known there, so we’ll run as normal on Saturday and prepare ourselves for the double a few days later! She can pull me up the hills! 🐕🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️
