I did it!

All the weeks of training the last 3 months, the pain of doing intervals and focusing on getting both distance and speed up to get to the magic 10K.

Wifey wasn’t happy though, strewth I was being blamed for everything when I got back because I’d been away so long. Still, at least she didn’t go wandering off and with Alz, she’ll have forgotten it soon ... oh hang on, I think she already has!

Right, now to go get my badge 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

Keep running,

Bri.

Thanks ju-ju-

I'm soooo pleased with myself :-)

At least I know I've done it, if I can't always do the 50 mins depending on how she is that day.

I think I'll continue what I've been doing, slow down a bit to consolidate the running time (and enjoy it), still do intervals and see what I can do with my 5K time. What I really want (whether it's achievable or not is another matter) is that by the end of the year I want to be the old fart doing a Park Run sub 20 and finish with the teenagers! haha. We'll see, it's going to take a lot of painful intervals to get near that. It gives me a goal, and I'm driven by goals.

You also gave me a tremendous boost too ju-ju- back in early February (after C25K consolidation) when you rubber stamped my Bri28K plan. I was venturing in to the unknown and didn't think back then that I'd "be allowed out" for 50 mins let alone do 10K in it!

Thank you for all your support!

Thanks Irishprincess, took a lot of work to get there. Now I need to find my tennis ball and massage my feet!

Try a golf ball, it’s a better size for the feet 🙂

Thanks BaddieThePirate,

I’m paying for it now though, absolutely knackered! I feel like I did half way through the C25K programme lols.

I’ve treated myself to a couple of beers and couple glasses of wine. And tomorrow I’ll be saying to myself “never mix the grape & the grain”!
