Naughty this morning, should have been week 7 of Juju's plan but 10K was calling 🏃‍♀️🎉

[Run46]

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 🏃‍♀️🎉👍

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

[Hidden]

Congratulations and well done 😊👍

[Run46 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you 🙂

[Hidden]

What's next then, will you try to go further? 😊

[Run46 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

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 🤨

[Hidden in reply to Run46]

Oh well, onward and upward then (hopefully) 😊

[Granspeed Graduate10]

Woohoo! 🎉👏🏼🎉 So nice to get to a target, especially a sneaky bit early... 😄👍

[Run46 Graduate10 in reply to Granspeed]

Thanks Granspeed...it is, naughty but nice 😁👍

[Hidden]

Congratulations, that’s fantastic well done! Your face says it all. 👋👋 🍾

[Run46 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Thanks Rainbow, it's been a difficult week, this little lift has made all the difference 😀👍

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10]

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 😀 🏃🏾 🎓, you are now a 🎓 GRADUATE 🎓 10

[Run46 Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

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 😁

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Run46]

Enjoy your chocolates, I treated myself to a box of chocolates when I graduated from C25K and Graduate10 🎉🎓

[Run46 Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

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

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Run46]

Yes, but my first 10K time was 73.03 against your 69.29,😊🏃🏾 however, I ran my third 10K in about the same time as you in a time of 69.23🏃🏾😊

[JaoJao Graduate10]

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 ❤️

[Run46 Graduate10 in reply to JaoJao]

I feel great now JaoJao, it's been a really difficult week and I have to say this has really given me a lift I needed...running is awesome! 🏃‍♀️🎉👍

[Beachcomber66 Graduate10]

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 🎉🎉👏👏👏👏🥂🥇🥇🥇

[Run46 Graduate10 in reply to Beachcomber66]

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

Thanks Beachcomber ☺🏃‍♀️👍

[Beachcomber66 Graduate10 in reply to Run46]

Best kept secret !

[Run46 Graduate10 in reply to Beachcomber66]

My lips are sealed 🤐

[JonathanP Graduate10]

Well done Run46! That first 10k really feels special!🎉👍😀

[Run46 Graduate10 in reply to JonathanP]

Thanks Jonathan, it sure does 😀

[Stephen_UK Graduate10]

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

[Run46 Graduate10 in reply to Stephen_UK]

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 😉

[Stephen_UK Graduate10 in reply to Run46]

That should be fun. Enjoy it!

[Franglaise Graduate10]

Fantastic...well done...that first 10k milestone is special and a big achievement

[Run46 Graduate10 in reply to Franglaise]

Thanks Franglaise, it did feel good 😀

[skysue16 Graduate10]

Just too tempting, when you are so near......😉 Very well done - such an achievement!

[Run46 Graduate10 in reply to skysue16]

It was skysue 😉, thank you 😊
