The weather was truly grim and I think I may have hypothermia, but I am feeling hugely proud of myself :)

So next weekend: 8 1/2

Ha Ha. Didn't feel brilliant at 11k when sleet was blowing in on the horizontal, hitting me in the ear. But I turn out to be a much more determined person than I ever knew!

Well done helenwheels, I see you are sticking with the imperial !

Which ever measures you use, that's a bloomin' long way 🤩

in reply toJell6

Thank you, Jell. I am reporting in imperial but measuring in metric. Today's aim was 12k, which I conceptualised as months of the year, It was all going well until November when the weather deteriorated. Still managed to keep going and even ran past my house to get up to 12.9 or 8 miles- that was hard!
