I took on 2020 and won ✊

[Speedy60]

First (and last?) Half marathon. I think I'm supposed to be euphoric, but I'm just knackered.

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

Brilliant effort, very impressed. I tried for another 10miles today but gave up just short of 14k as my hands were too cold. That was some length of time you were running for. Happy running 🤗

[Speedy60 Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

You mean I was really slow. 🤣 My goal was a half by the end of the year. I only decided today was the day at 16k. I thought I was going to be sick at 19k, but I wasn't going to let 2020 beat me at this, its already taken so much!

[Grannyhugs Graduate10 in reply to Speedy60]

Not at all, that was my speed on my run today so its obviously the best speed to run at🤣

[Speedy60 Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

Thanks. I really didn't think I could do it. I wasn't properly prepared. I realised at 18k that I needed water and a jelly baby or two. I kept going by thinking about how daft my strava would look if I stopped at 19k 😉

[GailXrunning]

Me too - just by reading this (knackered).

Seriously, that’s brilliant! Congratulations! 👏👏👏👊💫

Congratulations Speedy60. What an amazing HM. That euphoria will come . The knackered bit is normal 🤣👏👏👏🥳🥳🥳

[Speedy60 Graduate10 in reply to Buddy34]

Thanks Buddy. I'm now working on my other mission - to watch all episodes of David Tennant as Dr Who by Christmas. 🤣

Fantastic, well done! Wishing you a Merry (but safe) Christmas and a Happy (and hopeful) New Year x

[Speedy60 Graduate10 in reply to Wenderwoo]

Lovely to hear from you, Wenderwoo. A happy and peaceful Christmas to you too. Xx

Well done speedy60 - and you can claim an HM badge!

[Roxdog Graduate10]

Amazing! Well done. Of course you're tired. I bet it's not your last - that's what I said after my first 10k. Maybe not a weekly half marathon, but now and then would be great.

[Speedy60 Graduate10 in reply to Roxdog]

Thank you. This morning I was thinking it might be an annual event. I guess that's progress from yesterday. 😉

[59er Graduate10]

I am so impressed that you did it, no matter what time. Well done! I expect it's a bit like child birth. Give it a month or two and you'll be saying..well maybe....lol!

[Speedy60 Graduate10 in reply to 59er]

Thanks. It might turn into a regular event - as in once a year. 😉

Congratulations on your HM! 👏
