Grrrrr.... It happened again @ 500k

This run was supposed to be about 16k but I kept expecting strength and energy to appear as I warmed up but no joy. I cut out some of the loop and did jog walk jog on the route back

Reviewing my all time Strava it tells me I've now run over 500k since starting C25K!

I think I DEFINITELY need to stop bigging up milestones. I didn't feel good on this run but I did achieve a total distance that's pretty awesome!

Wish me luck for my Wednesday night 10k race!

I've just heard it's actually 6.4 miles so a bit more than 10k, so sub 60 minutes would be an improvement for sure!

Hey Katnap, your milestone is great, you're right to feel proud, but.... please don't forget why this all started to feel so good in the first place. It wasn't about speed, it wasn't about milestones, it was just about doing! Your family have achieved greatness over the last year, but don't lose sight of the best thing of all.... Having fun!....have fun on Wed & you win the race no matter where you're placed! πŸ‘Š

Hey wiggy! Not heard from you for a while. How are you getting on?

TailChaser and I did 10k together this morning and only spotted Saturday's achievement while looking at stats. Today's rum felt much better. 😁

Well done Katnap. That sounds a pretty awesome distance to me and 500k in the past year is some achievement I’d say. πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

Just chill now, look forward to Wednesday and run for the sheer enjoyment of it... because you can. Go you- no luck needed πŸ‘πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸ‘

Hey Katnap .....some runs are just like that aren’t they? But look what you’ve achieved...16km is amazing...and 500k since starting all of this? Just wow!! I’m sure your 10k will feel much better. Chin up, shoulders back....x

I seem to have hit a plateau too. Runs haven't had that section where you feel like you could run for ever. But I'm nowhere near your total mileage, that is a terrific total, well done. I was thinking of taking a week off at some stage. I'm also thinking of doing a run streak though. Not sure which way to go....

Celebrate 500 πŸ…and good luck for your 10km πŸ‘
