First 10k - Beachy Head

[RunningChocoholic]

Yay my first bit of bling! Tough at times and couldn’t run all of it but so pleased to achieve this in 1hr 11. Although I realise I haven’t posted a picture of the bling 🏅😂. I’m on the left.

Thank you so much! I was so nervous before but it was a great atmosphere. I might even do it again....

Ooh that would have been tough in that wind this morning. Well done to you. The first bit of bling is so special too. Celebrate 🏃‍♀️👏👏🎉 🏅

[RunningChocoholic Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

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

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to RunningChocoholic]

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

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

[RunningChocoholic Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

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

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10]

Love it! Well done.

I was there too. Wasn’t it windy!?

[RunningChocoholic Graduate10 in reply to Maddee_6333]

Crikey wasn’t it and some! I hope you enjoyed your run Maddee and that your dogs are ok

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to RunningChocoholic]

I did enjoy it, thank you 😊

Dogs and I are enjoying a sofa afternoon

[Buddy34 Graduate10]

Congratulations, you might have found it tough but that's an excellent time. 😊😊👏👏👏

[RunningChocoholic Graduate10 in reply to Buddy34]

Thanks Buddy, I’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 that’s what helped today x

Well done!

You must be fit to do it in such a good time.. 👍😊

[RunningChocoholic Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

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

[Hidden in reply to RunningChocoholic]

Have you done any strength training for your legs?

Does eating chocolate help? 😉

[RunningChocoholic Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

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

Chocolate helps everything lol 😂. Although I was recently told my cholesterol is too high so I should cut it out of my diet. In fact that’s probably been harder than today’s run. I really miss it! 😂😂😂

[Hidden in reply to RunningChocoholic]

Well if it worked for you then that's good.. 😊

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 🤤🍫😉

[GoGo_JoJo Graduate10]

Woohoo! Well done, great result on a blowy day! 👍🏻💪🏻😁

[RunningChocoholic Graduate10 in reply to GoGo_JoJo]

Thanks JoJo, it’s does feel like an achievement! X

[Sandraj39 Graduate10]

Much respect to anyone who runs this course - it sounds like a tough one! Well done to both you and your friend.👍👏👏🏅🏅😀

[RunningChocoholic Graduate10 in reply to Sandraj39]

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

[Sandraj39 Graduate10 in reply to RunningChocoholic]

Wow! Huge congratulations to him too - what a fantastic time!👏👏👏🏅😀
