Are ye allowed to brag on here?

[Teresa1632]

Only I'm soooooo chuffed. This time last year, I had completed a 5k for the first time...in 38 minutes.

About 10 weeks ago, a friend challenged me to do 10k. So I took up the challenge. Ran my first 10k race in 1:12:39, 5 weeks ago. It was a flat course, but the heat was brutal. I thought I was going to die.

Today, I ran the Dublin 10k Rock n Roll. It is an undulating course. The atmosphere is brilliant, with live bands playing every mile. Amazing!

Anyway, I came in at 1:11:40. And 8th out of 38 in my age group. Yeaaaah!

The bling is amazing (yea I'm shallow like that). If you ever fancy running a course that is sooo much fun - and draws an international crowd, this is surely the one to do.

Brag away..as someone once said to me..if you don't blow your own trumpet..no one else will

Huge well done you!

[Teresa1632 Graduate10 in reply to Oldfloss]

Oh yes, I crow about my successes ✅ - but I also make a point of flagging up my failures ☹️, as I think it’s important that people realise that the odd crap run doesn’t mean you should give up 😀

[SirVillian]

Congratulations, well done and great time too. Hope you had time for a look at Dublin too, it’s such a young vibrant city and the bars are just the best. You’ve inspired me to crack on with some serious 10K training. Thankyou Teresa, may your running be blessed with joy.

[Teresa1632 Graduate10 in reply to SirVillian]

I dont live that far from Dublin, and have been to the city many times. Though this is the first time I've run in it. It is truly a magical place isn't it. Maybe you'll do next years Rock n Roll run, it is well worth it

[SirVillian in reply to Teresa1632]

That would be great, something to aim for, yes.

[Ssasqueen Graduate10]

Awesome work - brag away - love the bling!

[Elfe5 60minGraduate]

Not bragging- celebrating (rightly) with your VRBs!! 😃
