Woohoo - 12K

Well pleased with myself...a well paced throughout 12k completed last night. It wasn't planned but i was feeling good so thought i would push myself a little. Followed by a lovely hot bath when i got home and a cheeky creme egg :-)

Its so nice that the dark is setting in much later, I got to take in the scenery a bit more, though the Park is lit beautifully in the dark so either way is wonderful. Really enjoy my Thursday evening runs, i'd be totally at a loss without them

Hi Flara - Thursday night runs are my child free long ones :-) the motivation is needed for the getting up in a morning to run on other days and weekends! I made progress this weekend so fingers X

Great article thanks Flara...I'm going to write out a plan and stick it on my fridge - and cross off the days achieved.

Top running! Now that you have reached 10K and gone beyond, are you now planning to go further, maybe a half marathon?

Like you I have reached 10K and run this distance a couple of times now, so a bit more consolidation and a 10K race, then I think it should be on to a Half.

Cheers

I am considering a half....but not quite yet! Just slowly building up with no pressure or goal until i feel ready to take the plunge

Brilliant! Well done you! πŸƒπŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ˜Š

Amazing! Wish I could run that much. You deserved that bloody creme egg!!

Never done an evening run. I do the early mornings which I guess are similar but backwards πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ.

It nice in the early morning. Almost peaceful say for the running. πŸ˜‚

So what’s your aim next??

i used to do all my runs in the morning - i loved it. Winter made me change and Thursdays are my child free night...what better way to spend it :-)

Plan to get back to early morning runs now it's light again.

I'm just consolidating 10k and pushing a little every so often. maybe a half marathon in the distant future but not just yet. I am just enjoying my personal mini challenges :-)

Yeah early morning runs are great! Haha a cheeky run while you’re child free. Sounds perfect! That’s one reason I have to go out at 5:30am.

Wowsers Alison, well done! 12k is getting seriously serious! πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺπŸ‘ŠπŸ‘ŠπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

You certainly deserved that Creme Egg. Would it be wrong to say that I eat them in twos? I could manage three, but that would be rather obscene! πŸ˜…πŸ˜³

Thanks cheeky. I could also easily take on 3 :-) but i have a sense of shame that prevents me from doing it haha! It would be obscene you are right πŸ˜…
