First 10k running event 😊😊

[Buddy34]

There is a local 10k event near me and I've new about it for quite a while. So today I took the plunge and entered.

I'm excited and nervous at the same time.

Its on the 27th of March at 7PM.

Good luck with the run Buddy. Hope you enjoy it and the magic race effect. 👍

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to ForbiddenPlanet]

I'm nervous but excited and it's at night 🤗

[ForbiddenPlanet Graduate10 in reply to Buddy34]

You are braver than me! On the "bright side" they do give you a head torch! 🔦

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to ForbiddenPlanet]

😊😊

[Hidden]

Wow that's super exciting buddy......... Btw best get some batteries !!!

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

🤣🤣head torch is mandatory and is provided

[Hidden in reply to Buddy34]

And if I'd had read all the info I'd have found that out 🥴

Whoops

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

🤣🤣

[Smelliepoo Graduate10]

Go on buddy! Well done! You will smash it. X. X

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10]

Good for you entering that "nitelight rundark" at Drumpelliier, some of the course, not all of it might be on the same course as Saturday morning's parkrun.

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

Yes AlMorr a bit of it is run on the parkrun course

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Buddy34]

I have just looked at the sunset time for the 27th March, the run starts a 7 pm, the sun sets in Glasgow at exactly 14 minutes to 7 so it won't be pitch black for the start, depending on weather it will get dark before you are halfway through the run and certainly, the torches will be a necessity.

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

And the good thing is head torches are provided

[FatterPenguin Graduate10]

No need to be nervous! If the worst comes to the worst you can either leave early or walk...but that won't happen. You'll smash it 🏃‍♀️

[Annieapple Administrator]

A great challenge that you will nail Buddy! Very exciting one too!! 🌒 ⭐️ 🌑 🌟

[pete1212 Graduate10]

Good luck Buddy34 with the run 🏃‍♀️ and it looks like it’s in woods

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to pete1212]

Yes most of it is a trail run and part of the parkrun route used

[Wenderwoo]

Oooer, exciting!

[AliHC Graduate10]

That's fantastic Buddy34 ❤️

The night runs are very exciting! X

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to AliHC]

I've never ran at night so should be interesting 🤣

[ktsok in reply to Buddy34]

Are you going to do a training run at night?!

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to ktsok]

Might be a good idea😊

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

Sounds a great event, hopefully you'll have fun running it. 🤗

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

This will be my first run without music as I want to be aware what's going on and take on any instructions and concentrate more as it will be dark.

Think what I will do is try a few runs before hand without it. 😊

[Grannyhugs Graduate10 in reply to Buddy34]

I always run without music, I have hearing impairment so good to be aware what is going on. But running in the dark with others will be something special

[Hidden]

It, like you...will be epic!!!

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Oh you're so kind😪

[Hidden]

Fantastic, you’ll have a great time. You’ve run so many 10k’s it’s time you got a nice medal 🥇🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Yes , my first medal . I will be wearing it to go shopping 🤣🤣

[Hidden in reply to Buddy34]

You deserve to. You’ve had an amazing journey 👋👋.

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

I'm still amazed how c25k and bridge210k got us running and of course this forum . I couldn't have done it without the support 🤗🤗
