So my planned first 10k run this weekend didn't happen π© The friend I was going with had to pull out the day before due to illness and despite trying to motivate myself I just couldn't quite get motivated enough to go on my own - it was over an hours drive and I would have had to get up at 5.45am on a Sunday in my defence ππ. I did do another 10k route locally instead and managed a pb of 1hour 11 - but have still felt like a bit of a failure all day. On the bright side without the race looming I don't think I would have kept up the training over Xmas so every cloud I guess.....I need to find another one soon to keep me motivated and also get more people involved so I have back ups next time ππ thanks for everyone's suppprt though - onward and upwards ππ
Epic fail π©: So my planned first 10k run this... - Bridge to 10K
Epic fail π©

But you still ran - and you ran in a great time! No fail there. π There will be plenty more races for you. π
Hope your girlfriend is feeling better now. π€
Ruthymc you ran a 10k and did a PB. Thatβs amazing given the change of plans. Great run and nope canβt see the fail ? π

Wow! Well done you! You had a big set back with your friend being ill and not being able to join you and yet you still went out and not only run a 10k but in your best time to date! I call that a massive success! Congratulations! Well done you! πΎπ₯π ππ»πππβοΈ π₯β‘οΈ πββοΈπ€ΈββοΈπββοΈπ€ΈββοΈπββοΈπ€ΈββοΈ If the whole country could do what you did, what a different place this would be! I know you didn't take part in the race and that must have been a big disappointment, but wow! I'm seriously impressed! And well done for keeping up your running over Christmas, that's brilliant too.
I do hope that your friend is recovering now.

Well Done for getting out and doing 10k today even though you didnβt do the race. To be honest, 5.45 on a January Sunday morning on your own? Iβd have done exactly the same.
This is no different to us doing a My Poppy Run, when we couldnβt take part in the race on a certain date. So give yourself a pat on the back and a round of applause for your PB, and if you have the medal, wear it with pride. Whoopie πββοΈπππ

Aww thanks everyone for your positive comments they have really cheered me up! You are all right - I need to focus on what I did achieve, not what I didn't. Well earned rest day for me today - have a good week everyone ππ

This is some previously unknown definition of 'failure' - what I would call an absolutely brilliant success.
