Yay my first bit of bling! Tough at times and couldnโ€™t run all of it but so pleased to achieve this in 1hr 11. Although I realise I havenโ€™t posted a picture of the bling ๐Ÿ…๐Ÿ˜‚. Iโ€™m on the left.

Thanks Dexy, it was really really windy hence I had to walk some of it, loads of us were. Itโ€™s so nice to get it out the way. Good luck with your next run, I always enjoy your posts! X

Thank you, thatโ€™s kind. A nice parkrun today to stretch the legs after our 10 miles last weekend.

Thereโ€™s No shame in walking some of it especially with incline of those cliffs. Hopefully the rain came after your race.

Thanks. Those cliff inclines are really something else. Heavy rain forecast soon so we were lucky to dodge it. Iโ€™m looking forward now to running on proper paths again. Your 10 miles is fantastic, thinking of making it a New Years resolution. Xx

Thanks Buddy, Iโ€™m very happy with the time. The cliff inclines are so steep but fortunately I can walk them much quicker than I could ever run them. I think thatโ€™s what helped today x

Well done!

You must be fit to do it in such a good time.. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜Š

Thank you! Iโ€™ve been trying to run the downs all summer but itโ€™s been so hard. I just think my legs have got used to walking the very steep bits and thatโ€™s what helped today x

โ€ข in reply toRunningChocoholic

Have you done any strength training for your legs?

Does eating chocolate help? ๐Ÿ˜‰

RunningChocoholicGraduate10โ€ข in reply to

Hmm not really, just walking and running the downs when Iโ€™ve been able to. Plus my usual running route once or twice a week.

Chocolate helps everything lol ๐Ÿ˜‚. Although I was recently told my cholesterol is too high so I should cut it out of my diet. In fact thatโ€™s probably been harder than todayโ€™s run. I really miss it! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

โ€ข in reply toRunningChocoholic

Well if it worked for you then that's good.. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Strange, I was told same about my cholesterol recently its a wee bit high so, I only have a sneaky piece of chocolate these days ๐Ÿคค๐Ÿซ๐Ÿ˜‰

Thank you! I feel a bit bad that I should have mentioned my partner who got round in an amazing 51 minutes. He took the pic and is very chuffed with himself! Xx
