My legs were feeling it too, hopefully youโ€™re feeling a nice tired, a I've done good tired.. I hope you donโ€™t feel pressured by us on the forum x

No not pressured, spurred on maybe : )

I really didn't want everyone waiting for me on holiday while I was out trying to finish the programme. That would have been unwanted pressure for me. So I wanted to finish and consolidate before leaving. I will run while away and if I can fit a 10k in I will but it will be because I can not because I am trying to find the time to finish the programme.

Good, it worried me when you said about pressure ๐Ÿ˜Š I hope you have a lovely holiday and can relax and enjoy knowing youโ€™re a 10kโ€™er! I couldnโ€™t have got through this without you and the other Magic 10โ€™ers, always there with encouraging words especially in my week 7 and 8 doldrums x

Thanks Al, sorry you missed your parkrun because of the rain, hope you manage next week, or perfect the art of changing under a big poncho ; )

I know that park like the back of my hand, I have been going walks there for more than 9 years,( longer than the 4 years that the parkrun has been taking place) , usually on a Friday, apart from bushes and trees there are a series of small caves in certain places that you could ๐Ÿ˜‚ or change clothes without anyone seeing you, however, that part of the park is not where the parkrun is held.

Iโ€™m with Clubberlang on this. You should be boasting like mad about that. And according to the plan, you now need to boogie. Thatโ€™s obligatory, you know.

Seriously, though, what an achievement!

I boogie during my warm up every time. Gets everything moving better than just the warm up walk : ) today's boogie was UB40 Red red wine ; )

Thanks debs. How is the hip after your PR PB.

It was bloody awful yesterday and not much better this morning but I have been taking some old anti inflammatory tablets that have been in the medicine cabinet for years. The difference is amazing. Am going to make a doctors appointment and beg him to prescribe some more and also get a physio appointment to try and find a more long term solution...

backintime profile image
backintimeGraduate10โ€ข in reply toDebston

Ibuprofen has an anti inflammatory effect too I believe.

But do see a physio or at least an osteopath or chiropractor. It may be your hips are misaligned after those heavy pregnancies even if they were a while ago, the running could have shown up an existing condition.

backintimeGraduate10โ€ข in reply tobackintime

I had big hip, pelvic problems after my 2nd pregnancy, my osteopath was a godsend. A true miracle worker !

Congratulations BIT on your 10k, hope the milkshake hit the spot!

I hope to fit in 2 as I will be there for 2 Saturdays :)

My eldest will run them with me (he says) and my youngest wants to do Junior Parkrun.

Forgot to say, youโ€™ll have to let us know which parkrun you are doing in case there are any HU VRBs around, who might drop by to say hello!

At the moment it will be the Greenwich one, but that looks rather hilly for a first one....if I can persuade someone to give me a lift somewhere flatter (or if I can get my parents to move in the next couple of weeks ;) ) I will start on a slightly easier one lol

Fรฉlicitations ! It feels great to be able to run 10k doesn't it?! Well done for finding the time to get out there & follow the plan. I did the 10k plan last summer but often go back to it and use it to build up to 10k again to get into a better routine.

Have a lovely holiday & enjoy your Parkruns! ๐Ÿ™‚

Amazing job! You are definitely helping to inspire me to get back to it, and work my way through 5K and beyond to the big 10, once I have fully shaken off this bug. Enjoy your success.
