A wet run... oh and I ran my first 10k ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€

I knew it would be a wet one this morning and off I set just after half 7, the plan was to do my first 10k, slow and steady, 75 mins (all you very wise people are right!) And I loved it, and what's more I know I can go further. Not for a couple of months though ๐Ÿ˜‰ going to consolidate 10k first. Thank you all you lovely people for your guidance and support.

Ps. I really debated putting the selfie up, hate taking a selfie, but needed to mark the occasion... I'm smiling on the inside... honest ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

I bet you did not need the cool down towel for that one. Take it slow and easy before increasing distance. Good luck.

Great selfie too and you should feel so proud. I am glowing for you just reading this. It's always a big achievement on a milestone run like this. You deserve immense credit for everything that led up to this morning. Knowing you have more in you too is a fantastic sign. Gosh you are going places.

Ps. I just showed my daughter your picture and told her that my VRB ran her first 10k. She said: โ€˜wow! She looks good! Sheโ€™s not all red like you.โ€™ ๐Ÿ˜ซ

๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ I thought I looked quite red... maybe the camera is flattering me... I walked back in to the house and my husband said, oh is it hot out there... ๐Ÿคฌ๐Ÿคฃ
