Sometimes you just have to do it

[Imoca]

Inspired by Peter yesterday I decided to give running for a hour a go, I'd managed 49 mins doing my 5k run in November and figured it's only a bit longer. Have to admit my legs were really shouting at me at 8k, but I don't like quitting. Coach Bennet told me time was up at an hour and checked the app, distance was 9.84 km, so I dug deep and carried on for the 10k, took me another minute 👍

So yes, happy that's done and I've learned much from it. I definitely need to work on some intervals and add in some more strength training. I'm not good at just enjoying running for runnings sake, I like a goal. I'm blowing my own 🎺 today and make no apologies for it.

Thank you to all you lovely inspirational People that make me push myself 🤗

That’s amazing! Congratulations! 🎷📣🎺You did it this morning or last night? 🦉?Great to read what you are learning about yourself and your body’s needs/ priorities too.

Thanks I was itching to get out all day yesterday so went out around 5ish. I'm done with day time runs until the mud dries up.

[GailXrunning in reply to Imoca]

I know! That’s why I wondered. Matters not the time of the run... Or rather, it can matter a lot to us!

It took you 49 minutes to do a 5k in November and then you’ve just done 10k in 1 hour 1 minute?

That's what my app is telling me.

Hey, congratulations, there's definately something in the air this week! 🦌🦌🦌 it's great though, when you can just keep going, not sure what my legs were telling me! 🤣 like you say, we're all aiming for that 10k, and when you get so close, and it's going well, just got to make the most of it! I'm probably a little bit stiffer today, than usual, but so worth it, anyway, enjoy the moment! 🥳🥳🎊🎊🎉🎉
