8 miles

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

Brilliant! Helen!! 8 1/2 watch out! There’s a lady on a mission! Well done you!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽❤️

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!

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Now I realise that it’s miles (sorry), you’re even more spectacular and brilliant!! 🤩❤️

[Jell6 Graduate10]

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

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

[Hidden in reply to Jell6]

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!

Well done! An extremely admirable distance!

[Hidden in reply to Jundal]

Thank you, I’m not sure I will be doing it for very long

Just want to say ‘oh yes, I have run ten miles you know’ 🤪
