10k and overtaken by my brother 😆

[Frenc]

Tee hee my brother was the first, but definitely not the last person to run past me this morning! I saw a man flying by on the other side of the road, who turned, gave me a big grin and a wave, then off he shot 🏃‍♂️. We cheer each other on on Strava, but he’s so fast, I’d never keep up - his daughter used to run for the county.

I tried another route today, out towards a little village - it was pretty busy, and obviously a popular route. Not sure why I hadn’t tried it before, but I guess we all like a bit of familiarity 😊👟. I went down a lovely little loop of a lane called Pudding Lane, it was so pretty with thatched cottages and all sorts of loveliness!

My pace was a bit all over the place, not sure why, but I’m overall very pleased with the result. Off to see my dad for Father’s Day in a bit - no doubt my brother will be there mocking my slow pace in the way only family can get away with! Have a smashing day everyone! 😊😊😊🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

69 minutes is still a perfectly respectable time for 10km. 👍

[Frenc Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to nowster]

Ah thank you! It felt good at the time 😊.

Great 10k, seems a fine time to me, especially for such a lovely new route. Hope you enjoy a lovely Father’s Day with your family. Happy running 🤗

[Frenc Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Grannyhugs]

Ah thanks Grannyhugs! It was a nice run, and it was lovely seeing my folks. Daisy, my parents’ dog, is one of the reasons I visit too, she’s such a character 🐶.

[Grannyhugs Graduate10 in reply to Frenc]

Hope you got fun playtime with daisy 🤗

Great to run 10k and who cares who overtakes us, brothers eh?

[Frenc Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to SueAppleRun]

Thank you! And yes, who cares 😆. I certainly enjoyed it, set me up for the rest of the day 😊🏃‍♀️😊🏃‍♀️😊.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Frenc]

Hoping tomorrow’s day off and run will do the same for me

[Frenc Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to SueAppleRun]

I’m sure it will 👍.

My Frenc, there’s nothing to be mocked about that pace! Well done ⭐️

[Frenc Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Hidden]

Ah thanks Delly-dot, I enjoyed it. 😊🏃‍♀️😊🏃‍♀️😊

[GailXrunning]

Well done on that 10k! 🏃‍♀️👍 That’s a good time too. You’re overtaking me for sure!😉🤣

[Frenc Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to GailXrunning]

Ah thanks GailX! It was an enjoyable run, and overall, brother notwithstanding, I was pleased with the pace! All the best 😊😊😊.

[Hidden]

Well done and if your brother mocks you for your pace, I think he'd just have no words for my pace (slower than a snail) 😂

[Frenc Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Hidden]

Brothers, eh?! Thanks Evy 😊😊😊.

[Jericho2332 Graduate10]

Well done on the 10k! Decent time too 👍🏻 I'm sure your brother will secretly be very supportive and pleased that your getting out there... But won't be able to say so obviously 🤣🤣

[Frenc Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Jericho2332]

Ah thanks Jericho2332! I think he’s just very surprised I’ve actually stuck with it 😆.
