When you do a route that you’ve deliberately avoided....😊😊

[Leosmit]

So, I usually run around the local town as it’s flat-ish. There’s a route around our house, quite hilly and although I’ve done a few partial runs of it, never thought I’d be able to do the complete loop.... Last night however, 💥💥💥💥 boom! I did it! 3.96 miles (curse that little 0.04 mile...)!!! So chuffed with myself, have been delighted since. Unsurprisingly, highest elevation run as per runmaster!

Great running Leosmit. It's so great when you finally run somewhere that really feels like an accomplishment and you did just that 😊😊

Yep! A great feeling!

What a joy to find a new and more challenging route & then to nail it!! ⭐️

Well done! 🥳

Thank you Annie. How’s the planking going?

[Annieapple Administrator in reply to Leosmit]

🙈it’s not!!

[Leosmit Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Annieapple]

😆. Well,maybe this week. I don’t find it easy, did one week at 10 secs, three weeks at 20 secs! Last night, however, a wobbly 30 seconds!!!

[Annieapple Administrator in reply to Leosmit]

Well done!! On the strength of that I will try again today! 😊

Great run Leosmit the 0.04 next time you’ll hardly notice in the running - enjoy

Thank you!

Well done for showing those hills that you're the boss! 🥉

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

Fantastic effort, hills give you such a hit when you conquer them. Happy running 🤗

[Decker]

Well done Leosmit! Keep going and you’ll shave that 0.04 and eventually that route will start to feel too easy 🙂

[Leosmit Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Decker]

Thank you, Decker! I just read your profile - an ultra marathon?!? Are you insane?? 😉

[Decker in reply to Leosmit]

Haha very possibly, yes 😁

[Wenderwoo]

Well done! I avoid hills at all cost 😆

[Leosmit Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Wenderwoo]

Love the thought of going out the door, run and back. Imagine me not having to drive for my run! Ps. - glad to see you’re still posting!

[Gwenllian1 Graduate10]

When I started c25k I was totally determined to avoid hills, in fact I used to run backwards and forwards on a flat bit of track while my husband disappeared up a slight incline. I am getting very very slightly better at them, but not much!

[Leosmit Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Gwenllian1]

Oh thanks for your reply! I’ve just been reading your post about your 10k. Loved it. I don’t know you, but am thrilled for you!

[Gwenllian1 Graduate10 in reply to Leosmit]

Thank you. That is lovely! I might stop being thrilled myself in a month or two!
