2020 goals achieved

[ForbiddenPlanet]

New Year's day I resolved to aim to run 5K in under 30 minutes, 10K in under 60 minutes, and to run 10K three times a week, regularly.

Today I ran 10K in under 60 minutes for the first time, in 58:57, passing 5K along the way in 29 minutes, and I have been running 10K three times a week for a couple of weeks now - which I need to keep up!

Had it not been for this forum I think I would have given up running when I hurt my knee in November so thank you again to the many people who supported me at that time, and throughout my running journey since I began C25K six months ago.

Thank you Buddy. Hope your running is a bit more comfortable than it was earlier in the week?

Beautiful day today and a bit cold 🌞

Same down here. Perfect running weather for the "well padded" like me. Decided I had to try get a sub 60 10K in before the weather starts warming up! 🤣

blimey, you are on fire, that is superb!!

[ForbiddenPlanet Graduate10 in reply to ju-ju-]

Thanks ju-ju. Giving up caffeine and alcohol seems to have turbo charged my running!

Phenomenal effort so pleased for you and all achieved so early in the year. You must be delighted. Happy running 🤗

Thank you Gtb erm I mean GH! Hope the hills are coming along OK! (And the little one of course).

[Grannyhugs Graduate10 in reply to ForbiddenPlanet]

Heading down to be with little one all next week 🥰 but no hills there 😥 so a long hilly run for me tomorrow to add kms to team HU 🏃‍♀️🤗

[ForbiddenPlanet Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

No hills? Sounds like my kind of place! 😂 I guess you'll miss bonnie Scotland when you move. (Though there will be compensations!).

[Grannyhugs Graduate10 in reply to ForbiddenPlanet]

Still very much Scotland just no hills unless I drive or run 3k to get to the bottom of them. Already have my sights on the hill that was my playground as a child - 20 min drive away, but can pop in to see elderly parents at the same time. Next week though will be country roads and beach runs 🥰

[ForbiddenPlanet Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

Sounds Idyllic. 😀

Congratulations on your 10K and on the way to that your PB 5K as well, that run is your very best ever, to many people a sub 30 minute 5k or sub 60 minutes 10K is a dream so to you ForbiddenPlanet, that dream has come true, now go and celebrate. 😊

[ForbiddenPlanet Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

Thank you AlMorr. It is kind of a dream come true for me, as for years I had wistfully watched runners gliding past me, as I thought running was beyond me - until I began C25K!
