Richmond Sundown 5k

[Tweedysweetpea]

Yeahhhh we (hubby and I), completed this last night, our first ever 5K 😊 Our time was 36.13 , which although not gazelle like, was a pleasing accomplishment as only started running (again) in May and both in our mid-fifties ... absolutely chuffed 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

Well done. You can now look at increasing speed (over a period) and distance (slower runs) in different runs each week ! Excellent work 😊

Am getting back into very gently, as did my Archilles which stopped me running for quite a while .... we're getting there 👍😊

[Beachcomber66 Graduate10 in reply to Tweedysweetpea]

Ouch!! Definitely take good care 👍

Great photo. And very well done on the run.

Well done to you both!👏🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏻I think a sundown race is a great idea - I always run better later in the day but nearly all races are on the morning!

[Tweedysweetpea in reply to Sandraj39]

We normally run early morning , so weren't sure how it would pan out, but it was fabulous 😊

[Tasha99 Graduate10]

Mid 50s?! You both look about 30!

Awwww thank you 😘

Thank you all I am Tweedys other half we are both so pleased to have done this as we started with the couch to 5k and graduated back in July. Since then we have been working at getting up to 10K after lots of consolation runs to increase our stamina, then with JuJu but with work etc it’s been slow going and we are only up 7K at present.

Also Tweedy started coming down with a cold before the race started making me even more proud of her achievement.

Once again thank you all for all your kind and encouraging comments🏃🏻‍♂️🏃‍♀️😊😊

I am so glad that you both enjoyed your 5K run, sub 40 minutes is great.
