It wasn't fast (67 min 37 sec - almost a minute for each year of my life!) and I'm sure it wasn't pretty but today I've finally run 10k. When I completed C25K last year, I first set myself a target of actually running 5K, and since then I've been running usually 6 or 7K three times a week without any particular further aims except that 10K was always sort of there and I wondered if I could ever do it - so today I just went for it and did it ☺. So now I can justify being on this forum! Happy running everyone ☺☺☺
10k today!: It wasn't fast (67 min 37 sec... - Bridge to 10K
10k today!

Well done on your 10k! Congratulations! Enjoy your time on the podium and all the very best for your onward running journey! 🎓🍾🥂🏅👏🏻😊🎉👍☀️ 💥⚡️ Must be time for a lovely shiny badge by your name! 😊🌸
Thank you - love all the emojis!
🤣 I have become a real emoji fan since joining these forums!! If I spot one that someone is using that doesn't appear in my set I have been known to copy it and store it in a document on my computer ready for use at a later date!
The 'Graduate 10' badge looks great by your name! Well done to you!

Well done. I would not knock that time either, I did 10k for the 5th time today in 80mins and at 55 you probably have a few years on me so very well done! Awesome in fact!

Congratulations sigasiga! That first 10k really feels special!👍🎉😀
That’s brilliant! Well done you. 10 k is my next goal but going to take it very slowly. Congrats on your achievement!

Whaaaaaat???? Not fast???? That is amazing sigasiga ...I cannot get below an hour, no way?!! I hope you've got a big grin on your face? That's a brilliant achievement, you should be very proud of yourself...I would be shooting from the rooftops!!! 💪💪💪🏃🏼♀️🏃🏼♀️🏃🏼♀️🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️
Thank you! It was actually an hour and 7 minutes - I couldn't do under an hour either!!! I don't really know what's a good time to be honest - I was always rubbish at athletics at school (many years ago!), so I just assume I'm slow. Never mind the time, I'm just happy to have run the distance ☺☺☺
