Well today was my long run day of 8k. You know you just get one of those runs that just work , legs ok , breathing ok everything just happened as if by itself . I really really thought my limit was 5k but after today I'm sure I will get to 10k now. C25k has a lot to answer for , in a good way and I couldn't have done it without all you brilliant people .
I'm so happy , can you tell 😊😊😊
Congratulations on running 8K this morning, the temperature was - 5C/23F, well done, I am sure you will be able to run a 10K soon in around a hour. 😊 🏃🏾
I am on the way back from Drumpellier Park where I mainly walked the parkrun course, I did run a little as my time was
46.10 using MapmyWALK, I did not have any running gear with me, the purpose of the exercise was to see if the official distance was the same as your Strava or my Mapmyrun, I would say that I finished my 5K walk about 40 metres BEYOND that on a Saturday morning, interesting 🤔Keep warm😉
Hope you enjoyed your walk it is freezing today . 😊😊
Very well done Buddy34! I am in the stage of wondering if 5K is my natural limit but this post does give me hope! I need to do 6K this week but the cold weather is really putting me off.....
It's really cold on the warm up brisk walk but once you're running you usually heat up nicely. I was thinking about buying a runnung gillet or a body warmer as I call it. Spotted one in Decathlon, I really need to stay of their website 😂
I bought one....but mine was from Tescos when they had 20% off. I realised at Park Run on Saturday that everything I was wearing, with the exception of my socks and trainers, were from supermarkets. 
Well done Buddy34, that's brilliant and great time too! Sounds like you were in the zone today (unlike me 😂) and just ran your 8k easily, how fantastic is that?!
I did 8k today as well. The first 30 minutes was a bit harder than expected but I had to stop and sort the music out at that point,. Almost immediately I found it easier going - not entirely because it was slightly downhill, I am sure
In fact I missed a turning so ended up running up a crescent rather than my usual down and even that was ok.
Today's run has restored faith in myself. As I seem to have a problem with slowing down. But i did a bit better today and that must be why the run felt so good even though it was longer. 😊
I was glad of a longer run today because I had an unexpectedly short run on Wednesday- 2k, including a walk home after a close encounter with the pavement. I caught my foot on a raised slab. No serious damage although the dressing on my arm was a shame on Friday when I was modelling posh frocks for a charity fashion show Not exactly a fashion accessory!
And the parkrun on Saturday was more of a trudge through the mud which is back with a vengeance, we even have a new Wallow thanks to subsidence alongside the river which has resulted in a diversion.
Raised slabs are a big problem. A couple of years ago my mother in law tripped over one and broke her wrist.
Glad you managed your fashion show .😊
You take care out there 🤔
I took a route with better pavements. Also tried lifting my feet a bit higher
Lifting feet does work better. 😉
Well done buddy 8 k 🤩 you should be happy that’s a great achievement!!🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️😊😊
Fantastic run Buddy34 you deserve to be happy with that amazing time. So pleased for you.
Hope you're feeling better now Grannytobe 🤗🤗
Top form thanks as soon as I had fuel and food. Back to normal no aches or pains. Looking forward to only short runs this week now.
Fantastic. Edging closer to that 10K and sounds like a great run for you this morning. Go you!
What an amazing pace and fantastic run, well done
You are doing brilliantly Buddy34. Of course you will make 10k! I have news for you.. 10k to 10 miles is much easier than 5k to 10k. Sky is the limit 👍👍👏👏👏👏
😂😂. I said I'd never do more than 5k. After that run today I'm positive of getting to 10k. Now I'm saying I won't do more than 10k. We will see
Went through the same stages Buddy34 . In the end what you want to do will be the determining factor rather than what you can do. 👍👍
Oh I nearly forgot. I got my frosty❄badge on garmin connect today as it was -4
Well done Buddy. You’ll make 10k before Christmas as a 2019 milestone 👏👏
Well done! I am hoping this will be me tomorrow! 🤞🤞
