Thinking it would NEVER be me and always so happy when other people posted it... here goes...
I ran 10 k today!
Took an hour and 13 minutes, so my longest time running. Was too knackered after to be excited but now that I’ve had a chance to rest, I can’t believe that I’m actually able to post that post!
This is amazing 👏 well done you 👏 you must be so proud. Woo hoo, enjoy it and revel in it 😊
Thanks, mum to two! I’m chuffed but more chuffed with the fact that I’ve stuck at the running! Hope you are keeping ok. Are you able to get out much?
Ignore that, just see your post from today and I’ll have a wee read!
I don't know about you but it's just become something I do now. Doesn't it make you feel great?! Apart from a few blips for germs lovingly passed on ny the elder of the 2 whilst he was still able to go to pre-school and a 2 week break after I went over on my ankle I've manged to stick to it. Just doing some shorter and longer runs at the moment but think I'm going to restart the magic plan in July. You've inspired me 😊
I talk a friend into it recently - she’s just finished week 6 of couch and is so pleased with herself.
I’ve no intention of going more than 10k. It’s tough going and I think it’s enough for me getting out a few times a week to do shorter distances. It’s easier getting out now just with everyone at home.
Does your ankle feel 100% now?
I know what you mean about finding the time. Make the most of the time while everyone's home, do you think you'll run 10k frequently? Ankle has been absolutely fine.. I made sure I didn't run on it until it had felt fine for a week or so
Well done. 10k is a long way and a real achievement. Enjoy 😊
Thank you so much Rk. Three days later and I’m still chuffed with myself!

Thank you Jonny! I see you did your first one a few days ago. Check us both out! Well done you too. Never thought I’d be posting that for myself.
Fantastic - great run and a great time, well done 👏👍🥇🎉
Boom
10k, a milestone run!
Congratulations on something so well deserved. It's a tremendous distance. Next time you drive 6 miles you'll think it's insane that you ran it!!!
Thank you GT. Funny, did the route in the car today and all like 😎😎.
Whoop whoop 🎉🎈💪 congratulations and well done! That first 10K is always so special and you’ll always remember it with a mixture of fondness and pride.
Enjoy the feeling and the rest of your running future....🙂
Thank you, IP! Is that your medal collection on your profile picture? That is incredible!
It is and that’s an old photo so I have more now. In fact I’m thinking of getting another hanger.....
You haven’t got your 10K badge yet.....
Well done Leosmit! Fantastic achievement and definitely worth a post! Onwards and onwards from here!
Thank you old girl! And you need to post more pictures of that lovely beach!
Well done Leosmit - that first 10k is so special!
Really well done Leosmit! Sooo pleased you made it to the magic 10 number 
I know you said you probably wont, but I bet you do it again just because you know you can!
*three cheers* !
Hey, Brian, thank you! Who would have guessed that us lot doing the couch together would end up posting this! Hope all well with you and that you’re coping well with all the demands on you. Thoughts for your wife also. How’s your running been?
Running is going really well thank you Leosmit, I'm doing my damndest to get to a 22 min 5K at the moment and the intervals and hill sprints are slowly killing me! But hey ho, I seem to think I'm Peter Pan and not 53 next month haha.
Wifey is fading far too quickly, it's heartbreaking. Honestly I swear I could walk round the house starkers all day and she'd not even notice (I hope you're not getting any images but If you are, assume I'm a muscley hunk, it'll make me feel better haha).
Running makes coping much easier and makes my (previously thought to be endless) patience last a lot longer.
Are you on Strava Leosmit? If so I'd like to follow
Bri.
👏👏👏Congratulations on your first 10k - it is an awesome acheivement and you did it! Bask in the glow!💪🤗
Absolutely amazing! Really well done Leosmit. Be extra proud, it’s a big deal! 🎉 🏆 🏅 😀
Aw, thank you so much. It’s like a double present - doing a 10k and then the delight of getting people on the forum cheering you. It’s lovely!
It’s the best forum isn’t it? 👍😍
Yeah that’s an amazing achievement well done you!! Enjoy the lovely feeling it gives you. I did my first one a couple of weeks ago and still feeling pleased with myself 🤣
Thank you! Oh I remember yours as I posted to you that I hoped it would be texting 10k one day! I loved reading your post that day!
That’s so lovely to hear - thank you! ☺️
Congratulations and very well done 👏
You comment about being to tired to be excited made me smile...I remember being exactly the same after my 1st 10K! Everyone was commenting, isn't it the best feeling ever and I was thinking I just felt knackered! Glad it wasn't just me 😂
I know! I thought I’d be phoning half the country to tell them but took me a day to tell folk! Three days later though and I’m proper happy with myself! I see you’ve done a HM 😱😱. That’s amazing!
Oh my that’s fantastic congratulations
Thank you both! Are you keeping well?
Yes very thanks and trust you are too
That is absolutely brilliant! Well done - and in a great time too!! 🥳🤸♂️🥳
