Off the hamster wheel!

[Fionamags]

Today I got to run in a different location now that restrictions have eased a bit. It was pure bliss getting away from that damned park and the circuits for longer runs!

Today's run was 50 minutes - but as I was coming up to the end, i realised that I was nearly at 6k so I carried on for just under a minute to hit that milestone. So I'm very pleased with myself - ran further and longest to date!

Congratulations on running your longest run so far at 6K, onwards and upwards to running 7K.

[Fionamags Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

Thanks - at this rate I might manage it in 60 minutes. Hilarious when you look at the expectations over on C25K. 🤣🤣🤣

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

Fantastic 6k, it's so lovely to be able to run in new locations. Enjoy. Happy running 🤗

[Fionamags Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

Thanks - it was so liberating to run somewhere different!

Congratulations on your 6k and made even better with a new run route 🏃‍♀️🥳🥳

Now I realise why a few of us were getting dispirited in the consolidation phase. Lockdown got a lot of folk running but it did present huge limitations as well.

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Fionamags]

Yes you're right there are so many more people out running , walking and cycling than I've ever saw before . 😊

Wow!!! That's fantastic 🤩! A few weeks back and we were floundering and wondering what next! Seems like you've got a new spring in your step! That 60 minutes not too far away now👏👏👏

[Fionamags Graduate10 in reply to Allbarron]

I think its worked wonders for both of us!

[MoliJ Graduate10]

Fabulous run 🏃‍♀️

[Raspberrypink Graduate10]

That’s great. Glad you enjoyed the new location. You will soon be at 60 minutes 👍🏼

That's fantastic Fionamags! Well done. It doesn't seem so long we were all just striving to get to w9r3 and now look at you - 6k! I'm glad that you are able to vary your routes a bit now. I can imagine that makes such a difference. Might jump in the car myself and try it too. 😊🏃‍♀️

[Fionamags Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

I definitely reccomend it.

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

The only way is up. Well done.

[Mum22boys Graduate10]

Well done on your 6k, a super run 😊 it's amazing what a difference a change in route makes!! Hopefully you can vary things a bit more now

[Fionamags Graduate10 in reply to Mum22boys]

Yes it was great! I might even tackle a hill run now. 😱

[Mum22boys Graduate10 in reply to Fionamags]

Ooo do... I actually quite enjoy running up a hill now, although don't have the magnitude of hills as some on here have!!

[dijep Graduate10]

Sorry I'm late with my congratulations but wow 6k is brilliant👏💐

I really fancy going off somewhere else to run but it's trying to work out where to go that won't be too busy. Need to get the maps out 😊

[Fionamags Graduate10 in reply to dijep]

Its so refreshing running somewhere different. How are you getting on?

[dijep Graduate10]

Good thanks. I just wrote a post about my run this morning tried to add a photo and it lost the lot. I'll try again when I've stopped swearing 🤬
