10k 😂🎉👍🏻😂🎉👍🏻

[Bridget007]

I did it!!!!!! It was slow, it was windy, it was wet but I did it!!!!! Thank you Ju-Ju for your brilliant magic plan 😃 and thank you everyone for all your inspirational posts and for all your words of encouragement ☺️☺️ I’m going to be on a high all day now 😃😃😃 and maybe tomorrow too 🤣🤣

Hope you all have a lovely day too 😃

[me2019]

Congratulations!! You exceeded 10km!! Inspirational!

[Bridget007 in reply to me2019]

Thank you 😊 I had to do a bit more otherwise when it transfers it to Strava it takes a bit off ... twice it’s changed my 5k to 4.9k and I wasn’t risking it 🤣🤣

[Jell6 Graduate10]

You'll be on a high all week! And thoroughly deserve to be.

Excellent Bridget, well done 🍾🎈🏅💐🍷😊

[Bridget007 in reply to Jell6]

Thank you 😊 I am so chuffed and so surprised that I can plod for so long 😂😂

[Flaraflarkin Graduate10]

Ahh well done Bridget!! Huge achievement 👊🏃‍♀️ 🦋

[Bridget007 in reply to Flaraflarkin]

Thank you 😊 I do feel like I have achieved 😊

[over61andstilltrying Graduate10]

Whoopee to you Bridget! You did it!!! Many congratulations! Enjoy your time on the podium, don't forget to request your well deserved badge and all the very best for your onward running journey. Whoopee! Whoopee! Fantastic! Such perseverance! Well done to you! 🎓🍾🥂🏅👏🏻😊🎉👍☀️ 💥⚡️ 🏃🏻‍♀️🤸‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🤸‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🤸‍♀️

I have just arrived back from a dentist appointment which was not fun so your post was just what I needed to change my focus. Thank you and very well done! Enjoy your high! I'm smiling with you! 😊Have you planned any celebration?

[Bridget007 in reply to over61andstilltrying]

Thank you 😊 I was only supposed to be doing the 9k but I couldn’t leave that 1k just dangling there so I just kept plodding 🤣🤣 hope your dentist appointment went well? And your hamstring is feeling better.

[over61andstilltrying Graduate10 in reply to Bridget007]

I forgot to mention the extra well done for completing your 10 km in wind, rain and hail! Amazing!

Dentist was OK and hamstring is still not right, but improving slowly, I think. I have a feeling that I shall be building up my running from about 15 minute runs, boo! I like the longer runs because of the sight seeing you can do. 15 minutes doesn't take me far enough. Ah well as long as we are improving our health and fitness, the long runs can wait for the time being.

Did you explore a new route today or keep to familiar territory?

That Graduate 10 badge looks brilliant by your name! Whoop! Whoop! 🎉🎉

[Bridget007 in reply to over61andstilltrying]

Thank you for the extra well done 😊 I ran to where the park run is held plodded round there for a bit then plodded home but had only done 8.5k so had to do the beginning of the run again 😂😂 sorry your hamstring is still playing up but it will get better soon and you’ll soon be back to where you were 👍🏻

[Sadie-runs Graduate10]

Woo hoo! Well done, Bridget! Running 10k is no mean feat at the best of times, but kudos for you on doing your 10k in the wind and rain! That makes you extra tough.

Congratulations!

Sadie-runs x

[Bridget007 in reply to Sadie-runs]

Thank you 😊 even had hail in the last k but there was no way I was stopping not even if I was struck by lightning 😂😂

[Sadie-runs Graduate10 in reply to Bridget007]

😂😂😂 You superstar!

[Deals1 Graduate10]

Congratulations!!😀🎉🏃

Well done!

Enjoy your celebrating

[Bridget007 in reply to Deals1]

Thank you 😊 I still can’t believe what can be achieved in a year!

[Snuffy_T Graduate10]

😀 congratulations

[Bridget007 in reply to Snuffy_T]

Thank you 😊

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

Whoop whoop Bridget, I knew you’d do it and well done for going out in the wind and rain too. Celebrations here we come! 🏃‍♀️👏🏻👏🏻🍾🥂🎓🎉🥳

[Bridget007 in reply to Dexy5]

Thank you 😊 I was only supposed to do 9k but I just couldn’t leave it with “only” 1k between me and my target! I certainly felt the last k though! 😂😂🤣

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to Bridget007]

He he, I did an accidental 10k too! You say to yourself “I’ve done 9k already, can I do 10k?” Magic!

[Bridget007 in reply to Dexy5]

What today? I must have missed that post I’m going to look for it 👀

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to Bridget007]

Oh no, when I first graduated the bridge in October I think. I’m hoping I still remember how to run after 2 weeks on skis. ⛷❄️😂

[Bridget007 in reply to Dexy5]

So you did the same! 😃😃 Couldn’t leave that last 1k ... seemed rude not to do it 🤣🤣 I bet your legs will feel really strong after all that skiing I’ve heard it’s really hard work ⛷

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to Bridget007]

Put it like this, I won’t need to do any squats. The great thing is that the running helped my skiing with improved stamina. Win win.

[Knittingrunner Graduate10]

Woop woop. Well done. That’s such an achievement. 🥳🏃🏻‍♀️🥂👏👏

[Bridget007 in reply to Knittingrunner]

Thank you 😊 I am chuffed! 10k! Me! 😃😂

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10]

Congratulations to you Bridget007 on running your first 10K. To get the word GRADUATE10 next to your username leave a message on the March healthunlocked 10K homepage on the pinned posts on the right side and tell the administrators that you have ran a 10K

[Bridget007 in reply to AlMorr]

Thank you 😊 and thank you for letting me know how to get Graduate 10 next to my name I will do that now 😃😃

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Bridget007]

It's there now, I usually advise graduates of C25K how to get their graduation badge, not 10K graduates, but 'graduate10' seems to work the same way, once again well done. 😊 🏃

[Bridget007 in reply to AlMorr]

Thank you 😊 I always need advice when it comes to technology 🤣🤣

[Bridget007 in reply to AlMorr]

Yes thank you 😃 I see it! Had to log in as I normally do everything from the app on my phone!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Bridget007]

😊🏃

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to Bridget007]

It suits you Bridget.

[Bridget007 in reply to Dexy5]

☺️

[Cazza26 Graduate10]

Nice one Bridget! Massive congratulations - savour the moment! 😀

[Bridget007 in reply to Cazza26]

[Hidden]

[Bridget007 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you 😊 I did enjoy it 😃 I have just noticed your picture of your dog looks exactly like my dog 😃

[Wizziewood Graduate10]

Brilliant! .... well done!

Stay on that ‘high’ as long as you want!

[Bridget007 in reply to Wizziewood]

[Wimborne]

Yay. You did it!!!!! 😀😀😀👏👏👏🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️👍👍👍. Brilliant run Bridget. So pleased. Runners glow for you today. Such a fab distance.

[Bridget007 in reply to Wimborne]

Thank you 😊 it did feel like quite a long way 🏃🏼‍♀️ but I’ve definitely got the runners glow ☺️

[Wimborne in reply to Bridget007]

😀 that’s because it is a really long way and you run it. You really do run it. Amazing feeling. Who’d have ever thought we’d be chatting about 10k when we started. All a bit mad but a good mad 👍👍👍👍

[Bridget007 in reply to Wimborne]

I know! Looking back to how hard that first week was! 😅

[Wimborne in reply to Bridget007]

I remember when I nearly threw up in week 6 too 😂.

[Bridget007 in reply to Wimborne]

Yes week 6! What was that all about ... from the euphoria of week 5 run 3 to thinking oh no why is this so hard ... 🤢

[Wimborne in reply to Bridget007]

And when the walking bits finish and it’s just running !!

[Bridget007 in reply to Wimborne]

🤣🤣🤣

[JonathanP Graduate10]

Congratulations Bridget! Revel in your fantastic achievement - that first 10k really feels special 😀🎉

[Bridget007 in reply to JonathanP]

Thank you 😊 it is a lovely feeling 😁

[Sandraj39 Graduate10]

[Bridget007 in reply to Jogunlikely]

Thank you 😊 I’m still in shock 😂😂

[Leadfoot Graduate10]

Congrats! 🍾🍾🍾 I'll be amazed if i can run an extra 80 meters when i get there, you must have been on fire!

[Bridget007 in reply to Leadfoot]

Thank you 😊 I only did the bit extra bit because when my watch transfers my run to strava it takes a bit off! 5k’s suddenly turn into 4.9k’s and I wasn’t having that after all my hard work! 🤣🤣

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10]

Woooohoo! Well done, that’s ace! 👍🏅🏃‍♀️👏

[Bridget007 in reply to BaddieThePirate]

Thank you 😊 I’m still on a high 😁

[Hidden]

Bridget, I’m so pleased to read this and I’m SO proud of you. You deserve to be on a high for a month. Well done 👍 🎉🥳

[Bridget007 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you 😊 I can’t believe I’ve actually done it at last! I was determined I wasn’t going to stop ... when I got to 5.1k I said to myself well you’re over halfway now 🤣🤣

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10]

[ktsok]

Brilliant! I can’t remember if I have already congratulated you (you have had so many replies!) but it’s worth saying again: awesome effort! 👏👏👏

[Bridget007 in reply to Gran4z]

Thank you 😊 I am still feeling chuffed 😃 I think that strava and these watches are in cahoots to make us go further 🤣🤣

[Gran4z Graduate10 in reply to Bridget007]

Now there's a thought 😳😂
