10k... wine tasting run???

[ktsok]

So tonight an old friend came for dinner. I cracked open a bottle of champers and because she was driving I drank most of it...

I appear to have booked and paid for my first 10K race with a friend who doesn’t run. The good news is we have until mid-July to train and there are wine-tasting breaks in between the running...

We aren’t going to break any time records (we put 75+ minutes in the estimate) but it should be a giggle!

That's what drinking on an empty head can do 🤣 (Northern !)

Mid July...plenty of time to get your friend up and running .

Looks like fun🍷🍷🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[Speedy60 Graduate10]

Oh stop it! I'm not jealous at all! 🤣

[ktsok in reply to Speedy60]

The more the merrier!

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

That sounds like some event. Your non running friend needs to start c25k soon or is she doing the wine tasting and you do the running😂😂🤗

[ktsok in reply to Grannyhugs]

She suggested that as a training plan but I soon put her right!

[ktsok in reply to Grannyhugs]

I’m not sure she will ever come for dinner again 😂

[Wenderwoo]

Sounds great, especially the wine tasting breaks 😊🍷🤪

I see a need to train in all aspects of this run. Perhaps you need some buddies for the tasting part? And I can loan you a sun hat.... 😄🤣 Sounds fab. Best reason to do 10k I’ve heard yer. 👍🎉🤸🏾‍♀️

[ktsok in reply to Granspeed]

😂 yes, training for this = 🍷 + 🏃‍♀️ should be fun and there will be no time pressure; I’m not going to ditch my drinking buddy on the way round!

Intoxicating feeling to encourage a friend into running! 🤣 Enjoy the training & we look forward to hearing about this fun run in due course...🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🥂🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🥂

[ktsok in reply to Annieapple]

It’s nice to think that sips of wine are part of our training plan 🍷🤪

TailChaser Katnap Windoze and I did one of these in Leicestershire last year. It was great fun, but boy was that vineyard hilly! Trying to knock back wine at the “water” station without stopping was interesting too 😂

[ktsok in reply to Sandie1961]

Oh my Lord! We were imagining more of a leisurely stop and sip and swig at each wine station!

[Sandie1961 Graduate10 in reply to ktsok]

Very sensible idea! Some on ours were almost partying, but there was also free wine tasting at the end 🥂

[ktsok in reply to Sandie1961]

Something to look forward to 😊

[TailChaser Graduate10 in reply to Sandie1961]

Hardest 10k we’ve done tbh

[Jazzyrunner Graduate10]

Fab how exciting! See, a bit of champagne can do you good - bet it’ll be one of the best things you’ll ever do!

[ktsok in reply to Jazzyrunner]

I’m excited! Although have now realised its a hilly course on grass 😳

[Jazzyrunner Graduate10 in reply to ktsok]

Oops! 😬 I’m sure you’ll smash it though! 🏃🏼‍♀️👏🏻

[Over62]

Ha ha the champagne has gone to the head. Well it’s a good incentive now - keep going and continue to have fun 🥂🍾🎉👏👍

[ktsok in reply to Over62]

Will do!
