February 10k - in the nick of time!

[Sandie1961]

I set myself a target of running a 10k each month and also signed up to the Strava virtual race for February to make sure I did it. As today is the last day of the month (how did that sneak up so soon?!), it had to be done. British Gas are digging up my usual route, so I decided to head off in the opposite direction. The weather is cooler and quite overcast today, thank goodness, so it was a very pleasant run listening to the birds and spotting the early blossom and a time of 1:08:23 which is 52 seconds faster than my January 10k 😃😃 I do really wonder how some of the Strava runners record their runs though, as the top runners appear to be going faster than the world record 10000m track time 🤔 Still, as there are nearly 150,000 runners faster than me, I don’t think it makes much difference to my position 😂🤣😂🤣

Well done Sandie - sounds like a nice run and good time too!

Thanks Jonathan, it was. Funny, I am enjoying the long runs more than the shorter ones and my pace is almost the same for both!

Well done! That’s a fast time! There would probably be over 250,000 runners faster than me 🤣🤣😂

[Sandie1961 Graduate10 in reply to Bridget007]

Thanks Bridget. Looking at it the other way, there were 100,000 slower than me, which isn’t a bad feeling 😁

Wow go you! Well done! 😃
