It’s all going terribly well..

[Oldgirlruns]

Another week on the magic plan done and dusted. 9, 5 and 4k runs all completed slowly but surely! And all were faster than the first time I did the plan back in April; not by much maybe but noticeable for me. Today’s 4k was 39:57 which was frustrating in that one km was a slow (even for me!) 10:22 where the others were around the 9:51 mark. I think I drifted off a bit - I find if I concentrate hard I move a bit quicker! Next run will be (not)Parkrun on Monday. Picture is a view I know I’ve posted loads of times but it’s never the same 2 days running so I don’t feel guilty! If you zoom in you’ll see one of the big car carriers on its way to Southampton passing the Isle of Wight, with a swimmer in the foreground in a dead flat sea!

That sea looks beautiful

The runs this week sound pretty good too, we’ve got hill repeats in a minute on our plan, think i’d swap but been to work all day and just need to get the run over and done with

Sea was lovely WaS - I did wonder about going for a swim this afty but am pottering in the garden instead. Hope your run goes well - I’m very impressed with your hill running!

Great runs - feel inspired by you.

Good snap - I wanted to get one of jet ski+water skier at sunrise this morning ... Only got sunrise - camera fumble at crucial time and they were gone 🤣

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to 61Lady]

Thank you 61Lady! Yes, those jet skis don’t hang about do they - we get a lot on our bit of the coast and it’s like being at Silverstone at times!

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to over61andstilltrying]

Thank you over61! Yes, I haven’t decided when to go for 10k yet - but I’ll be picking a cool morning if I can!

[Fionamags Graduate10]

Wow thats fantastic! Not long to go now for the big 10!!!

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to Fionamags]

Thank you Fionamags- it’ll be my 3rd 10k. I’m hoping to finish it looking less like a soggy blob than on the previous 2 occasions!!

[Fionamags Graduate10 in reply to Oldgirlruns]

Oh I didn't realise you'd already done it. You need to claim that badge!! 😉

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to Fionamags]

I think I have it already - I’m sure I do!

[Fionamags Graduate10 in reply to Oldgirlruns]

Oh no! Someone's nicked your badge - you need to report it to admin!!! At least, I can't see it on my phone.

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to Fionamags]

Wha..! Is nothing sacred?!

[Fionamags Graduate10 in reply to Oldgirlruns]

🙈

[Elfe5 60minGraduate]

That’s great Oldgirlruns, & how very satisfying to be faster than the previous time. 😄👍🏻 Never mind about the slow k in the 4K - if it’s the cost of happy reflections, I reckon it’s worth it. - Drifting off is all part of happy running right?! 😄

Good photo - I have lived near the sea most of my life & also love the ever changing view. 😄
