So it is true, reflective gear makes you run faster!! :)

Yep, just as well no one else was around, they definitely would have thought I was trick or treating in my new reflective gear!! The bottoms look like the outline of a skeleton, but boy do they glow in the dark, definitely can't miss me! No overlaying now, won't make that mistake again!😂👀

So, six months ago if someone had said I would love running not only in the rain but in the cold and pitch black I would never have believed them, but I find it really refreshing. tonight I also did my fastest 5km in 31mins 40 secs! . Not yet to the 30mins but getting so close. My average pace was 6.28 also the fastest pace I've run . So thank you to Juju's magic plan and everyone's support on here as I can now see how longer runs do give you more endurance and speed.🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️. 10km here I come this weekend!!!!🏃‍♀️😋

Go 🦔

You need that reflective gear in the dark too 👌💕x

Bit disappointed I didn't make the 30 mins for the 5km though, as I felt strong and was sure I was on target, but I will soon! 😁🏃‍♀️

How's it going with you??

[Tinytears60 Graduate10 in reply to Hedgehogs123]

Feeling a bit better , tho did have strava drama yesterday - ran 10k but in 2 parts.. part 1 and part 2!.. gutted as i was chasing a 10k november challenge on Strava!

Not so much skeleton, more Tron. (If you remember that film.)

Love this. You look ace there. Having this outlook keeps you consistent and this consistency underpins everything 😃😃😃

Go get that 10k and enjoy every bit of it! 👏👏👏👏👏

Thank you, Im realising that the longer runs really do help, and although I try not focus on time too much, theres a competitive bit of me that always wants to do better,! Blinking hope the weather this weekend is better than last. Technically I did 10km last sat, but because the wind was so strong, I had to keep stopping, so I can't count that. This time, it's got to be running the whole way!!😁😁🏃‍♀️

Good luck on your 10k this weekend. Excited for you. Look forward to your update

[Hedgehogs123 Graduate10 in reply to 58soon]

Thank you, just really want to get it done and have that brilliant sense of achievement! I'm definitely going to post on here after I do it!!🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️😁

How you getting on??

[58soon Graduate10]

Did my first run in 3 weeks this afternoon - yay!!! - only 2.5k and was gentle on myself. I'll gradually increase if my hip feels ok. I'm impatient, but I know slowly does it, otherwise I'll just be back on that IC again!

[Hedgehogs123 Graduate10 in reply to 58soon]

Good for you! I'm impatient too so totally understand how you must feel. But, better safe than sorry! 🏃‍♀️😁
