Oh what a beautiful mornin'

[Cmoi]

Oh what a beautiful mornin', Oh what a beautiful day, I got a beautiful feelin', I just ran my first 10k!

It was supposed to be 8k on the Magic Plan. However, as per Oklahoma! there was a bright golden haze on the meadow (and the vineyards) so off I went.

I fired several rude words at the uphill gremlins in km 2 and 3, but after that it turned into "might as well run to the village / get my 60 mins badge / do 10k as the 🏁 is in sight! "

10.04k, 1:11:42, average pace 7.08/km, elevation gain 165m.

Still going to complete the Magic Plan in September though. Oh, and go and ask for my 10k badge!

Happy running 😊

Fantastic effort, that was a great 10k in a brilliant time with those hills, well done. Happy running 🤗

[Cmoi Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

Thanks so much. I've had to do hills since I started C25K, owing to where I live!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10]

O what a beautiful run for you today Cmoi, congratulations on completing your first 10K 🎓 😊 🏃🏾

To get your graduation badge and the word GRADUATE10 next to your username leave a message in the pinned posts on the right side of the healthunlocked August Graduate10 homepage and tell the administrators that you have ran your first 10K.

Keep that beautiful feelin and go celebrate your wonderful achievement and watch Oklahoma if you can

[Cmoi Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

Thanks very much, and you know, I've probably never properly watched Oklahoma ! Think I've just absorbed bits of it over the years! 😉

[Sandraj39 Graduate10]

Great news Cmoi! Well done - it's a very special milestone !👏🎉🎉🙂

[Cmoi Graduate10 in reply to Sandraj39]

Thanks very much - I guess I'll add "run unplanned 10k" to my August quest! 😂

[Sandraj39 Graduate10 in reply to Cmoi]

..I think you should! 😂

[Buddy34 Graduate10]

Anyway, congratulations on your first 10k its a great distance to run.

Thanks so much, I was aiming for it for my 60th, but seem to have jumped the gun! 😉

How's Mini Noodle? Hope things are going well for her 🙂

[HappyNoodle Graduate10 in reply to Cmoi]

Aww thank you she is great supposed to start week 4 today but she said the winds were yellow, so we agreed to leave it for today. She still seems keen so that’s good.

[Run46 Graduate10]

Well done Cmoi, great job especially with that elevation gain...I'm not surprised a few choice words were needed to keep at it! 👏

On another note, good lord did you have to bring a song into the mix, it'll be going round my head all afternoon now 😆

[Cmoi Graduate10 in reply to Run46]

Thanks very much, and sorry about that earworm!

[Sandie1961 Graduate10]

Brilliant, well done. The first 10k is very special so hope you are celebrating with a nice bottle of something French 🍷

[Cmoi Graduate10 in reply to Sandie1961]

Many thanks - oddly enough we've haven't yet cracked open the bottles we bought on holiday, but fear not, we will!

Congratulations Cmoi , so funny how people just can’t wait to get there 😂😂

[Cmoi Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

Many thanks - well, it seemed daft not to run all the way back once I was so close!

[Cmoi Graduate10]

Thanks again to all of you for your lovely comments, I really appreciate them.

Back from motorhome holidays now and haven't yet been out for a run, as I've had lots of unexpected - though mostly good - stuff to deal with for work, as well as the usual post-holiday life admin.

Hoping to get out this evening, quite possibly in the rain. There's another thing I never thought I'd do...

Happy running, all!
