Went out this morning after 9 days without running, waiting around for cancellation to get my 2nd jab as I’d been missed by the surgery, then needed a couple of days to recover. So set out on beautiful morning with no real expectations but felt good and just kept plodding on. Slow and steady but even ran (or shuffled) up the steep bits. I do enjoy this new freedom from worrying about pace. Much prefer to keep it steady and even sped up a little on the last 2k!

It’s almost like graduating all over again! Enjoy the feeling 😊

Hey PhDgranny, Fantastic, the first 10k is so exciting and such an achievement especially when it’s taken time and patience through injury or illness, very very happy for you. We’ll definitely be able to plod over that ridge to the sea and back again now and will look forward to that day ...meanwhile bask in that glory, congratulations 🤩💐🥇🏆🥳🤗

Thank you! Still very slow but I kept going. Stopping being bothered about pace has worked for me and I actually enjoy it now! Yes we will have to go over tolls hill some time xx

We’ll be ideal running buddies, the only pace that matters is slow 😀😊
