First 10k since I returned from Portugal

It’s taken me a while, but I’ve eventually found a nice, safe, 10k from my door, and I ran it this morning. It wasn’t pretty, and I found it pretty tough ( why are the toughest hills on the last three kilometres?), but I’m chuffed to little mint balls that I did it.

Yesterday I started Lejog5. And like many, I thought I was doing something French🥴. Glad to have it explained that it’s Lands End to John O’Groats...I feel a bit of a twit now.

I’m not technically minded at all and it’s taken me a while to navigate their site but I think it’s logged properly now.

Happy happy running everyone. I still can’t quite believe it. I couldn’t run 60 seconds when I started. Now running way over 60 minutes. That’s just nuts😉🤪

That’s 2 of us. I didn’t know what everyone was going on about.

Great running and very well done on your 10K. I’m starting yet again at getting back to that distance. Been a long time since I last run 10K without any walking breaks.

I thought it might have originated in France too - think in reverse it’ll be a jogle! I’m not sure I’ve sussed the website yet and despite many attempts can’t edit my bib 🤷‍♀️ Keeping moving though. Great time on your 10k

I seem to have managed my bib. But other than that I’m such a techno twit. I’ll keep plodding through their website as I can see other Lejoggers have been able to compile pictures of their virtual surrounds. Think I’m going to have to sign up for night classes for anything that fancy though!

I’ve only seen a marker on the A10! No pictures for me either. 🤷‍♀️ Let me know if you crack it.

Great job 🌞

and I’d not realised that Lejog was short for Lands End to John O Grotes either 🤣
