First 9k ever😀

I was a bit nervous this morning about running my first 9k. I stopped listening to music a while back when running but decided I would put a playlist together to distract me and help me up the hills. After the first 2k I found my pace and didn’t notice the hills half as much listening to the music.

I’m absolutely thrilled that I managed this run and still felt comfortable, which will give me the confidence to do 10k and complete JuJus Magic Plan.

9k in 1:04:13 has earned me a latte and some Easter chocolate 😊

To everyone running this weekend, enjoy 🤗

Thank you so much, can’t believe I did it. I was a bit daunted at the prospect of 9k but now I’ve done it I’m sure I can manage the 10k

Thank you, it feels amazing to be able to run these distances. A year ago I wouldn’t have thought I could do this

Thanks LottieMW, I’m still pinching myself that I did it. I think when I get to 10k I’ll be opening the champagne I got at Christmas. This running lark is so good for the mind and body 💪
