1st 12K this morning, in 1 hr 21 mins 35 secs 🏃‍♀️

[Run46]

I was determined to extend my 10K a little this morning. I decided en-route to detour out of town up a not so lovely hill to Theatre Clwyd before heading home.

I guessed that would add around 2K on but figured if I could do 10, I could probably do 12! Plus I could always stop and walk the last bit if needs be!

Well I can't say it was easy but I made it, probably would've been a little easier if I'd slowed down a bit more, but I'm not very good at that...I think I've slowed up, then turns out I haven't when I hear my stats!

Got home, ate a couple of jelly babies, drank water, did stretches, did strength exercises, had a quick bath then treated myself to a big plate of bacon and eggs with a toasted bagel and a cappuccino!

Boy did I enjoy the breakfast, and the laze on the sofa with a blanket and an episode of House that came afterwards 😊

Thanks, I did, it was yum!

It is fab...I'm a bit obsessed with it at the minute since I found they have all 8 series on Amazon Prime 😊

I loved it then I got my daughter watching it then I bought her the DVD box set

Great great run... not sure I’d deliberately take on a not so lovely hill after 10k... maybe I’d consider it after 5 🤣... but you took up the challenge and kicked its butt.

Slowing down is one thing, but running to perceived effort is another... you think you’ve slowed down but, because your fitness is rising, you haven’t... that’s to be celebrated really, less effort same pace means better fitness and efficiency.

Very well earned breakfast... and the couch and TV can always have you back post run!

Thanks UNM...yes the hill was a bit much but it was the only place I could think of off the top of my head that would add on a decent distance, a bit of variety and a nice view! Just thought, ahh it'll do me good...and at least afterwards I got to run back down it 😊👍

Yes, the couch definitely still has it's place in my life 😉
