10 miles in sight 🤞

[Cantstopmenow]

I wasn't planning on running today until I saw the abysmal forecast for tomorrow. 🌧🌬 I set off, reluctantly and slowly, uphill and into the wind. I almost gave up at 3k, but told myself that I would settle into the run and if all my VRBs can keep going then I can too! So I did..

It was worth it, I completed my longest ever run at 14k and knocked 2 minutes and 7 seconds off my 10k PB. I even enjoyed it! I'm hoping to get to 10 miles by the end of March and maybe I will be ready for the Liverpool Rock and Roll half marathon at the end of May? 🤞 please keep up all your encouraging and inspiring posts. 😊

Congratulations on that PB for 10K and running 14K in not ideal weather conditions, I wish you luck for your HM at the end of May.

Thank you AlMorr. I haven't signed up for the HM yet!

Congratulations on your 14k and your 10k pb. Bet you're glad you didn't give up at 3k , look what you achieved 🥳🥳🥳🥳

Thank you. I know. I am pleased, especially as it was unexpected. I think you generally run in worse conditions! 🏃‍♀️

Fantastic run. Sounds like the best idea to do it pre storm. Its amazing we all keep going. I'm sure it's this forum helping us all believe in ourselves and building resilience. Happy running

[Cantstopmenow Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

I think you're absolutely right granny to be. I would still be at 5k without this forum. Hope you're not waiting too long for the new arrival x

Us too - this has been a long week. At least I can go for a run, mumtobe can only bounce on a ball🤣🤣

Brilliant job CSTN, very nearly there 😊👏, it's strange how the 1st few K can seem like more of a struggle than than the last few...as you say, you just have to slog on until (if you're lucky) you settle into it.

Great sense of achievement when you've ignored your gremlins then end up having an awesome run 😁🏃‍♀️

[Cantstopmenow Graduate10 in reply to Run46]

Thank you. Run46. I'll hopefully increase the distance in 3 or 4 weeks. Hope all is going well for you after achieving your half marathon 😊

Wow, that's excellent. Especially in the wet and windy weather we're having . You are going to be ready for that HM 👍⚡️💥

Thank you. Let's see! Hope you are keeping warm and dry. It must stop raining soon!
