Thursday After Work Run

[AllyS]

Decided to leave work at 4pm to get home and squeeze in a run whilst there was still some daylight and before collecting my 10 year old from after school chess club. Still not whizzing round but I’m finding that I’m enjoying my runs more and more as time goes on ❤️. Anyone else find this? You can’t beat the feeling of accomplishment afterwards. ☺️. Looking forward to trying for my second 10K this weekend. Happy running lovelies 🏃🏼‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️

Glad you enjoyed your run today AllyS, you should try and have a game of chess with your 10 year old after any of the runs you do. 😊 Yes, many of us here have that feeling of accomplishment after running a 5K or for that matter any run. Good wishes for your second 10K this weekend. 😊 🏃

Thanks Al ☺️ I’m ashamed to say that neither hubby nor I play chess and our boy is putting us to shame 😳 ♟

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to AllyS]

👍Indeed.

AllyS thats so great you are enjoying your runs. For me that’s what counts most... and good luck for 10k. Slow and steady of course 😁

[AllyS Graduate10 in reply to Wimborne]

Thank you Wimborne 😘 Slow and steady is the way to go 🏃🏼‍♀️

[Wimborne]

P. S. Can’t understand chess either 😂. Draughts yes. Chess is just boggling.

[AllyS Graduate10 in reply to Wimborne]

Lol 😂 I concur 👍🏻

Ooh Ally that buzz when you've done it Yay!! Well done for your 5k and enjoy your 10k ~ that's impressive just throwing one in at the weekend!👊🏃‍♀️🦋

Thank you Flara 😘 Good intentions for the 10K at the weekend 🤞🏻May have to envisage Ant Middleton waiting for me at the end of the run to spur me on lol 😜😍🤗😚

I absolutely know what you mean Ally. 👍 Well done on your lovely 5.5k! Isn’t it great that we simply love running? 🏃‍♀️ Go out and smash your 10k this weekend. 🙌

One thing is for certain, I have no clue about chess though! Kudos to your son 👏 ♟ 😀

[AllyS Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Thank you Cheeky 😘. Can’t beat the feeling 😃. Our 10 year old says he’s willing to teach hubby and I to play chess! 😳

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to AllyS]

Humbling isn’t it? 😅 Our son is a grade 8 level electric guitar player. I can’t even stretch my fingers enough to make a chord - and I’d have no clue what chord it was even if I could! 🤦‍♀️

[AllyS Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

It’s very humbling Cheeky 😬 Good on your son for his guitar playing - that’s a fantastic level! My hubby is an avid player and has tried to pass the guitar bug onto our boy but he’d rather do chess 😲. Sacrilege in hubby’s eyes 😂😂

Have fun on your second 10k Ally. Yes some runs just flow and have me smiling all the way round. I am still surprised by the fact that I can run.

[AllyS Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]
