Not the time it took me to run my 10 K This Morning, I was quite happy with thatπŸ˜‚, but the time it's took to get time to post about it...

Phew what a day!!!

I had an appointment with my consultant at 1:30 pm.. so woke early..too early.. 6am.. beautiful morning..

So as we do .... I feel a run is needed 😝...

Had a slow first K , settling in..I had ran some Fartleks yesterday on a 5k so didn't want to push it..my usual pace of 8mins /k ... I'm finding now by the time on my 4-6th K I find new legs and feel strong and can up my pace..seems like I'm running easier..pace is under 8 for the remaining KSπŸ‘

Set out at 7am thinking a nice medium distance of 10 K would be great.. be home in time for stretches, shower, breakfast.. plenty time for my appointment πŸ‘

Wanted a look for new kit for my upcoming race in Blackpool soon..

No luck..shops are rubbish, no leggings or shorts with two leg pockets πŸ™„

And I didn't see anything that I liked anyway πŸ˜”

I don't drive so was a bus into town and another to my hospital appointment, just as I was waiting for the second bus.. call from hospital apologies but cancelled appointment.. πŸ™„

So decided to go food shopping.. bags heavy gets on bus on way home, another call saying I could have the appointment if I could make it back πŸ€”

I gets off bus.. shopping fridged.. a litre of water drank and back out for said appointment πŸ˜‚

I'm absolutely shattered.. thankful all my results are clear πŸ™

And even more thankful I ran an amazing run this morning 😊

Good Night ZzzzπŸ›Œ 🀣

Happy Running all πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸŒŸ

And I've just counted 104 K this month 🌟🌟
