Never thought I would do it!

I ran 11k yesterday and amazed myself. I’m actually beginning to believe I can run and might even stop saying “I’m very slow”. I’m settling into enjoying each run as they happen and we’ll see where the journey takes me. Exciting!!

Blimey! I really think you'd better stop saying you're really slow... cause that is far from "really slow"!!

Great stats, and very, very well done! 👍🏻😁

Thank you JoJo. The sun was shining, the views were lovely and I felt good. Running has given me a whole new focus in life and I am loving it.

A minute slower than my 10k PB and you ran an extra km... yes, please stop saying you’re really slow or you’ll give me a complex 🤣🤣🤣

Great run!

Some days all your ducks are in a row and that was one of those days 😊 I ran my first 10K just over a week ago in 1hr 6mins and 44secs and I was really pleased with that. We’re all winners for getting out there and exercising. Happy days 👍🏻

Oh thanks, I love to inspire people with my all too frequent ramblings! Except you have one thing wrong - at that pace I’ll be the one following (way behind) in your footsteps!! 😅😅

If I can do a half marathon as you have I’ll be well chuffed!! I’ve a long way to go 😉
