My cat named Eeshan is beside me, I think one of his paws pressed some key on my keyboard and that is the reason for a few seconds that one of my posts was in italics. I have a separate keyboard from my laptop, it has a link from my laptop to my 37-inch television, so I can see everything much better than just on my laptop, at the moment I am using that, not my smartphone which I usually use.

I’m going to do some consolidation runs not sure how many to do any ideas what is the amount that you would do?

And yes I would like to take it further 10miles and see how I go and I hope to do a half marathon one day no we’re near yet but I hope one day that I would be able to run that far we will see.

And yes that’s what I’m going to do and claim my new badge πŸ˜‰πŸ‘πŸ˜ŠπŸ˜€πŸ˜πŸƒπŸ»β€β™‚οΈπŸƒπŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

cheekychipmunksGraduate10 in reply to Kevtrev

I personally repeated the Magic 10 plan for fun a couple more times after I’d done another 10k a month after my first one, so I probably ran the distance about 4 times before my first race. After the race I began creeping up to 10 miles. It’s very addictive having a goal! πŸ˜…

Good luck, you’ll get wherever you want to go with your running. πŸ˜€πŸ‘πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ
