Hi all,

Not been posting for a while, but just joggling on. Anyway completed 9k today, of course in the rain πŸ’¦πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ. Pleased to get to this point and am now hopeful that 10k isn’t too far away 🀞. After reading Fionamags post today I have been persuaded to enter the virtual 10k Edinburgh Marathon Festival on 29/30th May. First ever race albeit a virtual one. πŸ…πŸ…. Good luck to all for the forthcoming races and maybe on day we’ll get back to normal competition.

Yay another one for the EMF 10k! Blimey its a good job none of us can meet up to do it together as you'd be disappearing over the hill while I'm just getting going. 😳 That's a terrific pace. 10k next week?

Thanks Fionamags. It just seems to be my natural pace, although when I do my hilly wind farm trails it does slow down. I have a 10k date planned for beginning of April and am just going to add a little bit each week till then. Maybe come the end of May being with other people will be β€˜allowed’

Brilliant H-G , great to have an actual race (albeit a virtual one) to consolidate that soon to be conquered 10k, I’m sure it will be a magic moment Enjoy πŸ˜€πŸ€—

Well done. That’s a good time. It’s a cold one today too, luckily not lashing down though.

Thanks Alvor, not lashing but just wet enough to soak through my top 🀭😱

Wow! You kept that quiet! Well done. I wish I could say I'm near 10k but struggling to get past w1r2 on the distance magic plan, for one reason or another. I'll get to 10k at some point in the summer!πŸ™„

Of course you will. Honestly it has taken me an age to get here through various traumas and IC stop offs, just crossing my fingers for beginning of April. Taking it slow.πŸ‘

Thanks Buddy, at least it’s not snowy and icy. Trainers completely soaked after the first k, but now really used to it.
