A huge well done to all the virtual marathoners

[HappyNoodle]

Today was definitely the day for a long run!

Managed 16k in a bit over 2 hours. Was so psyched by clapping all the virtual runners on my route I nearly decided to do an HM then realised that would most likely put me on the IC so stopped. Got back home cold and very soggy but super happy 😃 another half kilometre and I’d have run 10 miles 🤓 (didn’t realise it at the time or would have pushed on🤣🤣)

Oh and a 10k PB of 1:18:14 🤩 might have been quicker if I hadn’t forgotten breakfast 🙃

What a brilliant run, so so close to 10 miles, well done. Happy running 🤗

Thank you, next time will be 10!

Great run you had, and so close to 10 miles

[HappyNoodle Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

I know my tracker is in KM so I didn’t realise 😄 next time

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to HappyNoodle]

I did 8 k once thinking it was 5 miles and hugely disappointed when it was a few metres under when i converted it lol

[HappyNoodle Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

It’s silly when we achieve so much to then feel disappointed by .06 of a mile or thereabouts. I couldn’t run half a k at the beginning of the year so I know I shouldn’t have felt that bit of dissatisfaction even if it was brief ☺️

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to HappyNoodle]

I think the longer we run the more achievements we gain so if we just miss one we are disappointed but as you say as long as it’s only brief,

[Fionamags Graduate10]

great run - you will definitely get to the 10 miles next time!

[HappyNoodle Graduate10 in reply to Fionamags]

Yep, hope to get to HM distance before the end of the year.

[Fionamags Graduate10 in reply to HappyNoodle]

Great stuff - you're certainly well on track!

[HappyNoodle Graduate10 in reply to Fionamags]

I really look forward to the long runs. I seem to enjoy them more than the short ones.

This is soooooo awesome!! Look at you...go...on. Aren't you epic??

Really good running and a PB too. Fantastic stuff 👏👏👏👏👏

[HappyNoodle Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you 😊 I’m still buzzing

[Hidden in reply to HappyNoodle]

You should be 😁😁😁😁😁

Fab running, and yes, you'll crack 10 miles very soon

My tracker is also in km, so for my first-ever 10 miles I ended up with my mobile in my hand to ensure I did 16.1k. And then felt compelled to add another 200m just in case!

How's Mini Noodle btw?

[HappyNoodle Graduate10 in reply to Cmoi]

I didn’t even think about how many miles it might be until my app converted it. I will check before my next long run though.

She came off her bike after the twist so a banged up knee has had her on the IC since then. I’m hoping to get her out next week for a restart!
