Well, my 11am run, ended up a 13.30 run, was waiting for my daughter! 🀣 was just going to see how it went, although was thinking of a longer one, and set nrc to 10k, could always stop, and wasnt sure if daughter, could keep going for 10k, her longest was 8k before today. Anyway, of we went, usual route past harry potter, and i was feeling it today, dont think i drunk enough water yesterday πŸ€” and was thinking, maybe just 5k, but was also thinking, no, come on, keep going! 🀣 i even said to my daughter, she could stop, if she wanted, but we went past bottom of our lane, and onto the canal, 5/6/7k, started to get easier, no way were we stopping now, onto that 10k, even with a smallish hill to climb, in the end, not sure who was dragging who along! 🀣

Finished 1.18.30, average pace 7.50/km, about 2 mins faster than previous 10k, so happy, but a little tired!!!

Happy running everyone! πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

That’s a great run- really fast time πŸ‘πŸ» Your daughter will stop coming to see you soon-every time she comes, you’re taking her out for a run! 😁

Brilliant! Well done to you and your daughter and a PB for you as well. πŸ‘πŸ‘

Don’t know why you can’t add a photo. When you’ve written your post (or as you’re writing it) scroll down and you will see at the bottom, on the left, a button that says β€˜Add Photo’.

I know, it's very frustrating, maybe some sort of setting i need to investigate! πŸ€”

Woohoo! Now I see what you mean about it being a day for 10k’s πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ» Nice one and shaving 2mins off your last 10k time is just great and shows progress is being made! Well done to you and your daughter. Looks like we both had the same thoughts on distance today.. that 5k mark, it’s always a moment.. do I stick or go for it πŸ€” Bet you’re glad you went for it now! I think we’re realising we have more in the tank now than the hallowed 5k and it’s food to push it when we can. Legs aching here too tonight. I’m not moving far from the sofa either after my efforts today, we’ve earned an easy night in 😊

I knew i'd be annoyed if stopped at 5k, still makes me laugh, we're talking about these sort of distances! 🀣

My daughter came out in my first two runs of Week 1. She was 6 at the time so I knew she wouldn’t be doing many runs with me. But it was lovely she started my C25K journey with me. Brill you have another 10K in the bag! πŸ˜€πŸ‘πŸ»

That's really nice to have run with your little daughter, and a great memory to have, when your finishing your HM maybe! ☺

Brilliant 10k for you both, well done. I know when I add a photo I have to do the attach process twice or 3 times. Happy running πŸ€—

That’s a pacey pace to keep up over 10k! Phew! Only a short while back you were always commenting on being slow.

Peter44 profile image
Peter44Graduate10 in reply to GailXrunning

Still not fast, was looking at your pace today! 🀣

GailXrunning profile image
GailXrunning in reply to Peter44

But that was over a much shorter distance (40% to be precise)!! You did brilliantly there.

Peter44Graduate10 in reply to GailXrunning

Well, i've just read a post from 9weeks2run, now that's fast! πŸ₯΅

GailXrunning in reply to Peter44

Amazing pace, but: Beware compare!! πŸ˜πŸ˜‰ It’s still the start of the journey. As you remind us, you could barely run for a minute a few months back. πŸ₯΅
