Morning everyone πŸ–οΈ

What a nice surprise to wake up to sunshine β˜€οΈ

Took me longer than usual to get out the door though.. taking advantage of the dry day, gathered the washing and got that on 😊

So my scheduled run for today should have been a 5K.. but I was enjoying my run so much that I carried on till 8K πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ˜

The lake was busy today, lots of walkers, mum's and dads with kids feeding the swans and ducks πŸ™‚

I have another 10K race on Sunday..so I have a 10Mile planned for Wednesday or Thursday.. then rest till race day πŸ˜…

Happy Running all πŸ™ŒπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒ

Oops, sorry and how could i forget your HM, your doing so well, i did my first 10k yesterday in 3 months, i'm still running, but not as much, and usualy only 5/6k's, but there's no way i'm going to stop the running, as it's helped me so much, both physicaly, and mentaly!Good luck for your 10k race. πŸ˜€

That's a pity, the 10K race that was supposed to be run this Sunday has now been postponed until October.You seem to like running a lot of 8K's, I like that distance because I usually take around 1 hour, sometimes a little longer and like the other week a little shorter, the last time I ran an 8K my time was 56.02 and the following week 56.14, I have not run an HM, congratulations to you for doing that.

Thanks AlMorr, yes it's a nice distance..I only run a 5K now if I want to up my pace, but I think my favourite distance is a 10K.. you are fast on your 8 KS...πŸƒπŸ’¨I think your favourite is running those parkrun s and not parkruns.. you've certainly ran many!!! Congratulations to you for doing that πŸ…

17 official parkruns and 60 (not) parkruns for your information spark66, you are also doing fine with your 10 and 5K runs, well done.

Ah brilliant Sparky! And sunshine, what better.

That’s great you decided to carry on, I think 8k is a really nice distance to do, it’s just right πŸ˜ŠπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸŽˆ. It’s weather for ducks πŸ¦† here, so glad it’s a rest day. All the best πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ.

How are you feeling after your HM πŸ’₯

Do you know not too bad, thank you. I’ll be honest and say I didn’t feel great a few hours after it yesterday. I think my blood pressure dropped a bit - I had to go and have a lie down, but thankfully apart from tight calves today I feel good! Like you I think the next run’s just going to be a just for the pleasure of it really short recovery run. I’ll follow your lead and do some nice no pressure runs - just see where the wind blows me! Have a great evening 😊😊😊.

After my near HM attempt I felt light headed aswell..took me a good few hours to recover, but yes take another day off from running, maybe do some other forms of excersise tomorrow then I'm sure you'll be fine.. My race due at the weekend got prosponed till October so I've got nothing planned, just going to run however I feel for the next couple of weeks 🀩

Yay sounds like a plan Sparky! Sorry your race got cancelled, but that gives you more you running time 😊. Tomorrow is triceps and biceps, so my upper body can ache as well πŸ˜†, it was feeling left out. πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ
