Well I did it, a week ahead of schedule...set off for 9K and it all went reasonably well considering the on off rain and the fact that as it was dry when I set off I forgot my baseball hat!

I seemed to find the torrential rain between 7 and 8.5K a distraction so 9 came round sooner than expected and the temptation to carry on was too much...I hit 10K at 69:29 with an achy hip and a big smile πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸŽ‰πŸ‘

After stretching out and a warm bath all aches have gone and I'm feeling pretty damn good if a bit shattered πŸ˜…

There's a 5K around a lovely hilly Loggerheads Country Park that I haven't yet conquered without walking up half of the last hill and 90 steps! I'm thinking I'll alternate my Sunday runs between this and a long one until I've got it beat 🀨

Oh well, onward and upward then (hopefully) 😊

Congratulations Run46, that is what happened to me also, I had meant to run a 9K, but because if a glitch on my Smartphone ended up running my first 10k, well done πŸ˜€ πŸƒπŸΎ πŸŽ“, you are now a πŸŽ“ GRADUATE πŸŽ“ 10

Thanks Al, I must get on the pinned post and ask for my graduation badge...and mustn't forget those chocolates I promised myself when I got to 10K either 😁

Enjoy your chocolates, I treated myself to a box of chocolates when I graduated from C25K and Graduate10 πŸŽ‰πŸŽ“

I remember your 10K treat Al, that's what gave me the idea πŸ™‚

Yes, but my first 10K time was 73.03 against your 69.29,πŸ˜ŠπŸƒπŸΎ however, I ran my third 10K in about the same time as you in a time of 69.23πŸƒπŸΎπŸ˜Š

Hey this is fantastic! And great timing, well done and sounds like you’re all relaxed now you are home and dry. It always feels amazing getting the long run out of the way, it’s also the most personally rewarding run in the week too.

Where has the time gone, it’ll be the last week next week ❀️

Well done and a good time too. I think I have accidentally hit all of my distance targets since 5k. Sneak up on them when they are not looking! Never fails πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ₯‚πŸ₯‡πŸ₯‡πŸ₯‡

Haha, that's very true and great advice...maybe we can ask Juju and the gang to add sneaking to the programme πŸ˜‚.

Huge congratulations! I also couldn’t resist skipping 9K and going for the 10. Take it easy now and don’t overdo it!

Thanks Stephen, I bet loads do it, it's just so tempting! 😁

Will do, am thinking a 5K country park run next Sunday instead of a long run. It's hilly with a bunch of steps but varied, lovely views and only half the length πŸ˜‰
