CRun 16-First 1 hour run-and first 8k 😁😁

[Bambi2020]

Wasn’t going to post tonight but it was such a happy run! My plan was to take it slower and do 6k after my 7K run on Saturday but once into it I felt really comfortable and got into a good, easy pace. By 6km I still felt fine, same at 7 and when I looked at the time I was at 54 mins and the temptation to do the last 6mins was too much. Another 2 milestones - 60mins and 8K 😁😁🦌🦌🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Fantastic Bambi2020 that’s a great effort! I bet you’re thrilled with that 😃👍👏👏

[Bambi2020 Graduate10 in reply to David_G]

Thanks- Was very pleased- that is only the 2nd run out of all the runs I’ve done that felt totally relaxed- I wish every run felt like that! 😁

[Jericho2332 Graduate10]

Yes! That's brilliant 👍🏻 well done Bambi! Absolutely smashing PBs 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[Bambi2020 Graduate10 in reply to Jericho2332]

Thank you!! 😁 Was mighty pleased with that little run- they don’t normally feel that smooth- that’s only my second that has felt so relaxed - wish I knew how to make every run like that

[Jericho2332 Graduate10 in reply to Bambi2020]

Yeah if we could bottle that we would be rich! It's brilliant when that happens 👌🏻👌🏻

[LauraRuns]

Wow! Amazing, well done 🥳🦌🏃🏼‍♀️✨

[Bambi2020 Graduate10 in reply to LauraRuns]

Thank you!! I don’t often get a run that feels good all the way through- that might be the longest I ever do!

[Peter44 Graduate10]

Heh, well done, your smashing through those kilometers 💪💪💪bet your chuffed with that! ☺ I had a feeling you might be next to 8k, and now 60 mins, it feels nice when you have a run like that, not surprised you kept going, infact it's a good feeling, to decide what your going to do, while your out running, less regimented than c25k! Hope you wont be too stiff tomorrow! 🤣

[Bambi2020 Graduate10 in reply to Peter44]

Was well chuffed- I started off a lot slower and when I got to 53 mins I thought I can’t not go that extra 7mins- I needed a little badge like yours😁- the 8k was an added bonus too.

[Runforurlife Graduate10]

Absolutely fabulous!! Whoop whoop 8km 🥳🥳🥳 Sounded like a chilled run for you too, very well done and you have your 60min grad badge now!! I love those runs when it all comes together and you realise you’ve got it in you to push on.. Enjoy your PB glow. Team Gazelle are totally on a roll now 🦌🦌💪🏼💪🏼

[Bambi2020 Graduate10 in reply to Runforurlife]

Thanks- I can never tell until I get out just how it’s going to go but that’s only the 2nd run where I’ve felt totally settled in pace and not out of breath. Loving the new shiny badge 😁- I’m also loving our little gazelle gang team spirit too-You’re all keeping me going! 🦌🦌🦌

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10]

Brilliant Bambi, the perfect run. Well done on your milestones! 😍

[Bambi2020 Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Thank you- was really pleased to get both! 😁

[GailXrunning]

Wow, Bambi! Two milestones in one. Amazing. The best bit is that your run clicked into a really good place of happiness, comfort and ease. May that continue! 🦌🦌🦌

[Bambi2020 Graduate10 in reply to GailXrunning]

Thanks!! I know- I was really pleased- it’s so good when you’re feeling really chilled and it just glides by-this must be how you feel all the time with your mindfulness runs! I thought I’d go for it while the going was good- it certainly doesn’t feel that good normally- in 3 months that’s only the 2nd fully smooth, easy run I’ve had- I’m lining up for nice short runs next!!

[Buddhagal]

Another huge success, fantastic achievement Bambi. 👏👏👏💪💪👏👍You are just doing amazing. I am so pleased for you.. fabulous running. 🙋🙋🙋

[Bambi2020 Graduate10 in reply to Buddhagal]

Thank you! Getting there slowly but surely .Are you feeling any better?

[Buddhagal in reply to Bambi2020]

You're getting there....end of story😁😁💪. Not really feeling much better....running wise. I had a lovely walk over Malvern hills yesterday but paid for it today...going to take longer than I thought, not the end of the world. I'm still here😁😁😁👍. 🙋🙋

[Bambi2020 Graduate10 in reply to Buddhagal]

Well you’re doing the right thing taking it steady and trying to do a little at a time to build back up gently-new little gazelles need a lot of TLC when they’re on the IC- plenty of carrots 🥕 and a bit of wine 🍷 and cake 🍰 thrown in for good measure 😁👍🏻

[StoneDragon]

Well done Bambi - what a run. You should be very proud of yourself 👍🦌💪

[Bambi2020 Graduate10 in reply to StoneDragon]

Thanks matey😁 👍🏻👍🏻- it’s my birthday on Sunday so I think I had to get a good one in before I’m too old!

[StoneDragon in reply to Bambi2020]

Happy birthday 🥳 for Sunday.

I’m very jealous (and kind of proud too!) of you all smashing through these amazing milestones - I’ve taken a proper break to try and shake of these injuries 🤞fingers crossed I’m back out there soon. I feel like I’m being left behind. 😩

[Bambi2020 Graduate10 in reply to StoneDragon]

Thanks- you’ve done the right thing being sensible. Once you’re back into it, it won’t take you long to get back upto speed - you and Buddahgal both on the IC need not worry- it’s like being a TBird or a Pink Lady -once a gazelle, always a gazelle 😁🦌🦌

[Couchphoenix Graduate10]

Congratulations Bambi2020 👏🏻👏🏻

[Bambi2020 Graduate10 in reply to Couchphoenix]

Thank you- I’m slowly creeping up the km😁

[LottieMW Ambassador]

Woohoo! Well done on your 60 minutes...and 8k! 💥🌟

I’m hoping to get to 60 minutes on Xmas day 🤞🏼

Happy running! 🏃🏻‍♀️👍🙌🏼👊🎉🎊🔥🥳

[Bambi2020 Graduate10 in reply to LottieMW]

Thank you- Xmas day Run? Now that’s dedication! Good luck !

[LottieMW Ambassador in reply to Bambi2020]

😂😂😂Well I won’t be doing anything else 😉😫🙄

[Bambi2020 Graduate10 in reply to LottieMW]

I might try it- leave the roast potato making to the kids and go off for an hour’s run 👍🏻😁

[LottieMW Ambassador in reply to Bambi2020]

...and why not 😉😂
