A magical plan

[Oldgirlruns]

I did 8km this morning on the Magic Plan, which I’ve never done before or, frankly, ever thought was possible! So colour me rather chuffed! It was slow (of course!) at an average pace of 10:28 per km, but I’ll happily take that. But the thing that surprised me most was the fact that I actually enjoyed it!! Happy springtime running folks!

Congratulations Oldgirlruns, a brilliant achievement, and I am reallt proud of you my friend. What went wrong, there was no wind? In fact what a lovely day to go running, I'm dead jealous.

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

Yes, no wind - who knew it was possible for me to run without it!! Saw the sun rising as I trotted along the seafront and out towards the RNLI!

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to Oldgirlruns]

You were out early!

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

Left the house at 6.30!

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to Oldgirlruns]

I am impressed 👏👏

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10]

Excellent run for you Oldgirlruns, that is really good news that you enjoyed your run and you are looking forward to your next run, the weather is now really good for us runners. 😊 🏃🏾

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

Thanks AM - yes, onwards and onwards into the sunshine!

[Roxy71 Graduate10]

Thank you!

[Granspeed Graduate10]

🎉👏🏼🎉 Well done! That is fab. When this is all over, and when I have managed to build back up from my current 10 minute run time (😱), we will meet up for a New Forest run!

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to Granspeed]

Thank you! Yes, a VRBs New Forest run is on my bucket list!

[Granspeed Graduate10 in reply to Oldgirlruns]

And mine - though I’m hoping for a series, not just one! 😄

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to Granspeed]

We’ll definitely be there Granspeed - hope I’m running by then. If not , I’ll hold the finishing flag. 🏁🏃‍♀️🏃🏽🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[Granspeed Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

We will arrange it so we can all be there! 👍💕 That is the whole point. 🎉

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to Granspeed]

😘

[Sandie1961 Graduate10 in reply to Granspeed]

I think I’ll have to put this one on my list - I’ve had so many cancelled, I’m getting withdrawal symptoms!

[Shake-and-run Graduate10]

Well done OGR. Great achievement, and enjoyment as well. Xx

[UpTheStanley Graduate10]

Saw the sunrise?? What's wrong, can't you sleep??

See you (virtually of course) later ….

[Coddfish Graduate10 in reply to UpTheStanley]

She will fall asleep on the call!

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to Coddfish]

No I won’t- got the wine chillin’ and nibbles at the ready!

[Womangolfer Graduate10]

Brilliant old girl runs. So nice to run in no wind.

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to Womangolfer]

Thank you Wg - it made a nice change!

[Coddfish Graduate10]

Well done OGR, that's fabulous progress. It was really nice out there this morning, wasn't it. My run took me the other way towards Old Portsmouth, but Mr C's cycle ride took in the RNLI this morning. He wouldn't have seen you as he most definitely didn't see the sun rise!

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to Coddfish]

I did see several cyclists down there! It must be on the trail!

[Buddy34 Graduate10]

8k is great but what's really great is your run was enjoyable, now isn't that what it's all about 😊😊

[ju-ju- Graduate10]

Yay yay and yay that’s so fantastic, well done 😎

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to ju-ju-]

Thank you ju-ju-!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate]

Congratulations, that’s wonderful, enjoying running is such a bonus

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Thank you- having a nice place to run helps!

[Zebadee1]

That's fabulous! 👏🏃‍♀️

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to Zebadee1]

Thank you!

[JonathanP Graduate10]

Fantastic OGR! That 10k is less than half a parkrun more!👍

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to JonathanP]

Thank you JP - it’s getting closer and further away at the same time, if that’s possible!

[lexi6 Graduate10]

Good for you OGR reaching 8k is brilliant and more so starting at that time of the morning! 👍 😊

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to lexi6]

Gotta do it Lexi - if I waited until later in the day I’d probably not want to bother going out!

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10]

Amazing OGR! 8k is a fantastic distance, and guess what? It’s mighty close to 10k (see how useful my O Level maths was there?! 😅)

I’m impressed with your early start. It certainly was a beautiful day today wasn’t it? ☀️☀️☀️

Stay safe. 👍

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

I failed my O level maths - wonder if that’s why I struggle with the numbers?!🤔

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to Oldgirlruns]

🤣🤣

[Runningroni Graduate10]

Well done. Early morning runs are , in my opinion, the best. Sets you up for the day.

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to Runningroni]

I view it more as getting it over and done! But it was certainly a glorious morning!

[Seaside22]

Five miles in old money - a real milestone! 👍

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to Seaside22]

Thank you Seaside!

[Raspberrypink Graduate10]

Well done and not too slow at all. 👍🏼

[Sandie1961 Graduate10]

Whoop whoop 🙌 Well done Oldgirlruns, a fantastic achievement and even better that you enjoyed it 😃🥳

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to Sandie1961]

Thanks Sandie! Weird, huh?!

[Jogunlikely]

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to Jogunlikely]
