EXCITING!!! ๐Ÿ˜

โ€ข57 Replies

I always weigh myself on a Monday after my long run... 10k again today ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿค—... I don't drink anything until I've weighed myself.. So dehydrated me is under 13 stone for the first time in a LONG time! Very happy with that. 10k completed, under 13 stone, and then this bad boy came through the post!

I've seen a few people take a photo of their running gear and running number. I've been really looking forward to doing this, probably more than I should... HERE IT IS! WHOO-HOO! LONDON BABY! ๐Ÿ˜†

Amazing achievement on both counts! Well done! Not sure I like the sound of dehydration though! ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ™ˆ

in reply to angie31964

๐Ÿ˜‚ Yeah, cheating really. I don't think I'm under 13 stone anymore.

Running gear looks the business and nice of the race organisers to colour coordinate with you!

in reply to Debston

Yes, honestly it's all complete fluke. Not a CHANCE I would pay full price for colour. I'd run in pink trainers if they were on special. Looks like it was all meant to be! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Itโ€™s a flat clubberlang, and very colour coordinated too. Well done on your weight loss and your 10k. Have a great time.

Coolio, youโ€™re going to look The Biz! Well done clubberlang, brilliant run, brilliant weight! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

in reply to cheekychipmunks

Thanks Cheeky. You, Dexy and UTS really did inspire me with your Bristol 10k, I was umming and ahing until I saw how much you guys enjoyed it.. then I just booked it.

Awww thatโ€™s brilliant! Iโ€™m so glad we inspired you. ๐Ÿ˜€ I know what you mean though. Not a chance Iโ€™d have entered a 10k race without reading how fabulous others found theirs. Iโ€™m counting down the days until the Severn Bridge 10k at the end of August! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

Very swish! No wonder you can hardly wait. ๐Ÿ˜„ And great weight loss too (but be careful with that dehydration - donโ€™t want those PBs to fade....)

Whenโ€™s the run?

in reply to Granspeed

Thank you! It's on the 21st July, my birthday... ๐ŸŽˆ๐ŸŽ‚๐Ÿบ So i'm looking forward to that as well.๐Ÿ˜€ I will be well and truly hydrated on that day!

Yes, I'm a bit silly with the weighing scales, but it started off as a bit of an experiment, I've been weighing myself before and after runs. I find it fascinating how much weight you lose.

Wait, you're running on your birthday? You need one of these to pin on your running vest! amazon.co.uk/Birthday-Boy-G...

in reply to Debston

Yeah, I have a feeling my friends/family have already bought me something that will humiliate me ๐Ÿ™„... I would if it was them ๐Ÿคฃ

Well done you!! After being on a diet for most of my life Iโ€™ve finally started losing weight !! And guess what Iโ€™m eating as normal but Its the running that is shifting the lbs! Started in late March and lost 9lb !!!

in reply to Sammy-Lou

Congratulations Sammy! Losing weight makes the running a lot easier as well. ๐Ÿ˜

CONGRATULATIONS. Drink lots and have a banana (lots of potassium) to reverse the dehydration.

in reply to Greenfingergran

I do, I do... after I've weighed myself ๐Ÿ˜‚

That's really exciting! I registered my lowest weight for some time yesterday too - though I wasn't dehydrated! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Oooh, exciting. And well done on the weight loss! :)

in reply to Pianism

Thanks P! Looks like your 10k was amazing!

Pianism profile image
PianismGraduate10 in reply to

It was, thank you. One unexpected result was a ruptured plantar fascia though so no more running for 3 months. You'll be doing HMs by then! :)

in reply to Pianism

๐Ÿ˜Ÿ No way! So sorry to hear that Pianism. You're a warrior to finish that run with that! I'm trying to think of something positive to say, at least it didn't happen before the run and you finished it. Hopefully 3 months will fly by, you know we'll be here when you get back!

I'm wondering if there's anything else you can do until then? Rowing machine? strength training? Jacuzzi and ๐Ÿน ..๐Ÿ™

Pianism profile image
PianismGraduate10 in reply to

I think I was an idiot to finish the run with that... though it was a miracle that I managed to achieve my planned time too!

Yes, there's plenty I can do... seeing physio tomorrow to get proper advice based on severity of issue (think it's a relatively minor tear). Then will swim on Thursday and then PT on Friday to adjust my programme. No rest for me!
