So happy right now.

Tried a few times and reached 8.5k and my poor legs wouldnโ€™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. ๐Ÿ˜Š ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿพ ๐ŸŽ“

Thank you Jonathan p. Whoever gave the advice go a little slower to go farther was absolutely right! Flooded with endorphins. ๐Ÿ˜

I think Iโ€™ve knackered out my canine partner, ๐Ÿถ sheโ€™s been sleeping since I got home xxx

Yes but also once you've run further, you can run faster at shorter distances - it's magic!๐Ÿ‘

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.

Yes, a good time Al ๐Ÿ‘

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

Wasnโ€™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. ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿฅ‚๐Ÿ…

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

Dexy5Graduate10 in reply to Sp81

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

Sp81Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5

Iโ€™ve booked the Wickham 5k mince pie run for December. Hoping to book a mix of 5โ€™s ( with daughter) and 10โ€™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 ๐Ÿ˜ข

Dexy5Graduate10 in reply to Sp81

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