I did iiiiiiiiiiiiit!!!!!!! (10K that is)

So my attempt at doing the full 10k was delayed by a week due to some sort of stomach bug. I was well enough to work last week but wasn’t up for running. I did 5k on Saturday to get back in the swing of things, and as a delayed finish to week 7,and was planning to do the interval run and 5k run of week 8 before attempting the long run but I thought, “All I can think about is finally doing the 10k run, why don’t I do that first!?”

So I set off this morning, and to celebrate how long I can run now, I decided not to do half and then turn around for home, but to just run 10k away from home and then get the bus back.

This meant I got to explore the undercliff walk to Saltdean and the completely new path (to me) helped distract from my fatigue.

Also, when I stopped two different friendly dogs came up to say hello. Which was nice.

Anyway, I did it! Whoop!

Congrats! Exploring new pathways is a great distraction and 2 pups to congratulate you on a job well done is the perfect end to a great run!

Its a big milestone you've reached. I definitely felt more like a 'proper' runner for making the 10k distance.

A very big well done!

What are your new running targets?

Thanks! My aim for the next month is to consolidate the 10k by doing it each week until April 14th when I am doing Brighton 10k.

I’m not sure of goal after that. In terms of fitness, although I am running more, I am actually gaining weight so I need to sort diet out!

A bit of extra fruit and fibre maybe

jimmersGraduate10 in reply toKatnap

Yeah. Less sugary things and booze I think!

Congrats jimmers. It’s a great feeling 👍
