First 10k 🐢🐢🐢

[Asnad-Run]

I did my first 60 min run couple of weeks ago and have been consolidating. The plan was to work my way to 60 min 10k slowly but today went a bit different than usual.

I was out for my usual long run on Sunday when 45 into the run heavens opened! Initially I though oh no but to my surprise I cooled down and felt refreshed. At 58 minutes Spotify decided to play my favourite tune ( old nostalgic number) which I was really enjoying when it came to 60 mins I wanted to keep running until the song finished. When I checked the distance at the end of song it was 9k, oh well then and why not ! I went on and kept going, I know exactly where the next 1km mark was on my route ( round the local park) and Yeah!!! 10k done and a very happy me 🎶🤩 🌧

But I realised that when I took my phone to check the time, I had accidentally stopped my run on the app 😬😅🥱🙈

So all I have is 9.75km in 1:09 minutes guess I will just have to wait for my actual 10k time until next time I manage a 10k ...

Happy gal today , if I can do it anyone can 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Fantastic effort, a great first 10k despite the weather. Now you know you can do it and in a great pace it’s there for the taking any time you fancy. Happy running 🤗

Thanks for your encouragement! I was a bit disappointed when I took my phone out to stop the run but I think I am over it now 😅

10k is 10k whatever the technology tells you. You still put in the effort - go celebrate 🙆🏼‍♀️🎉

I think you can pass that as your first 10K despite the fact that the distance is a little short, but you have explained the reason,

Congratulations on completing your first 10K, to get your graduation badge and the word GRADUATE10 next to your username leave a message in the pinned posts on the right side of the healthunlocked November graduate10 homepage and tell the administrators that you have ran your first 10K.

I did the same last week. Had previously only done 7k, but got to 8 and felt good so carried on to 10. Sometimes best unplanned I think. Well done!!

Congratulations on your first 10k.I understand about the disappointment of your watch not recording it but 10k is still 10k.

Just accept that you are a 10k runner now!!!!!!
