Well really. Me? Run 7km? I don’t think so! Thought it was time I got out for a run after a few days of idleness but at 6.30am and feeling sloth-like, I thought a little 3km trot would be enough. Of course, it being me and Saturday, the wind was blowing strongly so it felt quite normal because as some of you will remember, I do seem to attract the wind 💨. Sorry, waffling there. Trotting onwards I went past several suitable turnaround points and decided to carry on round my 5km route. Got back to the seafront at the end of that and thought hmm, this might be doable. And so it proved! Mr Garmin has given me a shiny new record and no it wasn’t for the slowest km ever recorded, though that might have been deserved because those of you who’ve seen me ‘run’ will know I’m the slowest runner in the world. No, it was for 7km! Now, it wasn’t pretty and it took me an 1hr 12mins but who’s counting! Call me chuffed 😄. So, me? Run 7km? I should say so! Happy running peeps!
The magic plan working its magic?: Well really... - Bridge to 10K
The magic plan working its magic?
Sloth like running is cool on Saturdays old girl!👍
Thank you Ian!
You're welcome my legs are on a day of rest after running and cycling, so the daily exercise is a walk with the dog and the youngest 🙂
Great running, those of us in the steady running club salute you! Xx
I like the PB runs which just creep up on you as in "I feel I could go a bit further ". It comes as a nice surprise. Great run OGR 👏👏👏🏆
Brilliant! Perseverance and patience pays off. It's a great feeling passing through each milestone.
Whoopie. Back on the magic plan again Oldgirlruns and very impressed at 6.30 on a Saturday morning. That northerly wind must have been a bit chilly Too. Mr Garmin will be beside himself with the increased distance and no of steps.
7k is a turning point and I have no doubt that you will be running 10k before I get back there.
This girl can 🏃♀️👏🏻👏🏻
👍🏻💪🏻😁 who says you can't teach an old girl new tricks? 🤣 just wait till this is all over, you won't know yourself! 😁
That's wonderful! Huge well done to you Oldgirlruns.👌👏👏
Some flowers to celebrate. 🌷🌷🌷🌻🌻🌷🌷🌷
I can see your smile!😊xxx
Theres the magic right there. Trick yourself into thinking , I will just run 3k and before you know it you've done 7k.
Congratulations 🥳
Wow wow wow 🤩 👏👏👏👏
Wow! OGR 👏🏻 I love that you went for a little 3k trot and ended up with a 7k instead. Brilliantly done! 😊
Wow, fantastic 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Far too cold and windy for me this morning. Absolute respect OGR 😃😃😃
Well done! I could use a run like that 😊
Well done Oldgirl! 7K! 10k isn’t so far away... 😊
Well done you. It is really funny isn't it. I remember doing c25k ant thinking tehat would be plenty. I consolidated then did the bridge to 10. I run 10 fairly regularily though just got back up to it after injury. Now I am in lockdown and going out for fitness here is not allowed. I know where you are coming from, sometimes you thing 3,4,5 is enough but you can just keep going. I often find the first KM the hardest then go into auto.
Currently doing 4ks in the garden, ab lucky to have a 100mtr route, bit windy and not the best surface but it is running.
Keep going and stay safe!
Yay well done! Gotta love a shiny new record 🏆 I love those runs where you think it’s going to be a little one then just carry on 🏃🏼♀️
Wow that’s wonderful!!!!!🎈🎈👏👏💐🥰
Well done Oldgirlruns - OGR 7, Wind 0! Hope you're feeling very proud of yourself, enjoy the rest of the weekend. ☺
Well done OGR
