1st 10k distance 🥳🤩

[Sp81]

So happy right now.

Tried a few times and reached 8.5k and my poor legs wouldn’t go any further, today was perfect. Bright and sunny, perfect temperature and the slightest breeze. Running along with a smile on my face enjoying a perfect autumnal day xx

Congratulations on completing your first 10K, well done

To get your graduation10 badge and the word GRADUATE10 next to your username leave a message on the October graduate10 homepage in the pinned posts on the right side of the healthunlocked 10K home page and tell the administrators that you have ran a 10K. 😊 🏃🏾 🎓

[Buddy34 Graduate10]

Happy dance 1st though xx 💃

[JonathanP Graduate10]

Well done Sp81! That first 10k really feels special!👍🎉😀

[Sp81 Graduate10 in reply to JonathanP]

Thank you Jonathan p. Whoever gave the advice go a little slower to go farther was absolutely right! Flooded with endorphins. 😁

I think I’ve knackered out my canine partner, 🐶 she’s been sleeping since I got home xxx

[JonathanP Graduate10 in reply to Sp81]

Yes but also once you've run further, you can run faster at shorter distances - it's magic!👍

[Sp81 Graduate10 in reply to JonathanP]

now I like that idea!!!!

[Run46 Graduate10]

Wahoo, well done 🎉...need to get your 10K graduate badge now 🏃‍♀️🏅

[Sp81 Graduate10 in reply to Run46]

Thank you run46.

The aches are setting in now 🤪😂

[Run46 Graduate10 in reply to Sp81]

Lol, yes that happens!

I seem to spend half my time limping about the house oohing and aahing!

Running is such fun 😂

[Sp81 Graduate10 in reply to Run46]

Running is definitely that. My husband keeps asking ‘why do you do this to yourself’ ?

I just think it’s ok my lovely vrb’s get it!!!! 🤪

[Run46 Graduate10 in reply to Sp81]

😂

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Run46]

I notice Run46 that "60mingraduate" is next to Sp81's username not Graduate10, I am not sure why that is, if you look at that graph, it does say 10K, I have worked out on my calculator that according to the splits she ran a 10K in just over 70 minutes.

[Run46 Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

Yes, a good time Al 👍

I'm thinking as it's the weekend they've not updated it yet...am sure she'll have her shiny 10K badge soon.

[Sp81 Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

I got my new badge today, is it showing the wrong one?

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Sp81]

Tell the administrators.

[Sp81 Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

Will do, thank you for pointing it out almorr xxx

[Sp81 Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

All sorted. Thanks for spotting it almorr 👍

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Sp81]

Yes, congratulations 🎊 😊 🏃🏾

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

Wasn’t it a lovely day? Sunny, cool and wind not too strong. Very different to Saturday. Congratulations on your first 10k Sp81, and a very good time too. 🎉🥂🏅

[Sp81 Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

Fabulous day today too, so took my dog for a lovely off-road trek and thank you dexy5.

Hopefully a distance I will manage to repeat soon x

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to Sp81]

Yes it’s good to do it a few times to consolidate. Is there a local 10k race you’d like to do? I did a poppy run after my magic plan last year.

[Sp81 Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

I’ve booked the Wickham 5k mince pie run for December. Hoping to book a mix of 5’s ( with daughter) and 10’s ( with friends) from March ish next year.

Use these winter months for training and consolidating, plus encourage my daughter to follow ju ju plan too.

I did try and get into the poppy run in purbook/Portsmouth but sold out 😢

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to Sp81]

The mince pie run sounds fun. I think I’ll be doing the Santa run at Portsmouth Lakeside - sadly they have moved it from Southsea. God to do things with your daughter too.

[Katnap Graduate10]

The 1st 10k is always special.

Happy running!
