Pleased to have managed 9K today. Stopped briefly a few times to take pics of the bird life at the lake - including this impressive fella . 🤫 don’t tell anyone but I signed up for the Vitality 10k - my first ever event (other than a couple of Park runs). So going for big one next weekend 😬

Good run for you today, I think that is a Blue Heron Crane in that photograph, good luck for your Vitality 10K next weekend.

Thank you AlMorr. All the birds were very busy today in and around the lake - they seemed to be enjoying the breezy conditions 🙂

Well done for your 9K! Impressive time spent running, great stamina. Only another 1K on top of that and you’re there! Good luck with your 10K run next weekend and try not to stop to take photos 😂 although that is a nice pic of the heron!

Well done sloth (not). That heron was definitely worth stopping for. Good luck for next week too.

Well done! Only another 1k to go!

Me too! I'm supposed to do another 9k tomorrow first on the Magic Plan but half of me is wondering if I should cut that down a bit - I don't want to wear myself out and be too tired to do the 10,000

My 9k last week was at an identical pace to that - we definitely should be Virtual Run Buddies next weekend😁

Yes I’m up for that! I missed a few runs due to ingrown toenail so I am trying to catch up but in order to meet the event deadline I will not be running a second 9K - decided I’m just going to have to go for it. Think I’ll do a 5k this week and then wait for the big one, see how I feel. Wishing you luck and a good running week!

It’s amazing how many people accidentally forget that 2nd 9k. 😉

Thanks Roxdog - I haven’t told anyone as wasn’t sure until today that I could do 10k and meet the deadline for the event.
