For those who don’t know - I work in a school and on Friday we had a special multi-activity day outside for our Year 6 children. It was a replacement for the cancelled residential which they had to miss due to COVID.😞 I accompanied a group of children round and we rotated through the different activities in our bubbles (lots of sanitiser involved!)
One of the stations was an 8m climbing wall and I was offered the chance to climb as well!👍 Well, I had to set a good example didn’t I?! 😀 I used to enjoy climbing many years ago but it is about 14 years since I have done any. I made it to the top three times and shared with the children how strange it is when your legs get tired and start shaking! 😬🤣 We also got to try archery and human table football - it was a great day and lots of fun. The children loved it!🙂
Anyway, I don’t know if my legs were still tired from Friday (probably), or whether it was the humidity but goodness me, today’s 10k felt SO tough!😩 I felt heavy-legged all the way round! It was very much a run of determination but I plodded on…!
Two days rest now I think.🙂
Happy running!🙂

Sounds like you all had a great activity day. It’s a few years since I did climbing but I remember those “disco” legs so well done achieving a 10k today. Happy running 🤗
You had a great day on Friday, but I imagine it was surprisingly exhausting (surprising because you don’t notice how much energy is being spent in all the fun and enjoyment). Amazed you were ready even to survive 10k!!
I’m still at the stage where 10k feels like a major achievement, whatever it takes to and however I get there (did my third one today), so I love the way you can just casually throw off “Never mind, ‘tis done!” 😂 😊
Your activity day sounds like really good fun! We have a huge new leisure centre that’s opened nearby that has some brilliant climbing walls apparently, but they’re not open yet due to covid. I can’t wait to try them! Anyway, I digress - super well done on your 10k, you didn’t quit and you showed it who’s boss - it is really muggy today and pretty energy zapping, so you should be super chuffed 🤩. All the best! 🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️
Sounds like you did really well! Climbing is hard...especially with that audience! Does sound a good day for year 6 and such a shame these residentials are cancelled as they are amazing for children to experience. Great strength training I say!
Well done Sandraj39 that sounds like a lot of fun, even if it was tiring! I think you’re wise to take a couple of days off running now. Good luck with your next outing! 🙂👍
