10k and still running

[Tzushka]

Hello everyone,

I hope you’re all doing great! I haven’t posted in quite some time, but during every run I word at least one post in my mind, promising myself to actually type and publish it. You’re like the Borg collective in my head :), a swarm of supportive voices, and I’m truly grateful for this!

After graduating C25K in September last year, I got through half of Juju’s Magic Plan, then November broke me with heavy rains and lots of work. The more runs I missed, the harder it was to think of running again. I felt guilty and tried not to think about it. Then I had a bad day in December, and how did I deal with it? I went for a run! Another lonely run in January, then in February I got up on the scales and woosh! Motivation comes rushing back all of a sudden! :))

I started the Magic Plan all over again, I already ran the 10k yesterday, but won’t apply for the badge until I actually finish the plan next week (hopefully! - I’m seeing a physiotherapist later today about a pulled muscle…).

There’s so many things I’d still like to say, but this is getting a 10k long post.

Thank you all for running with me everywhere, every time!

Great to hear you getting back into it and that you have reached the 10k

You are more than welcome to claim the badge now if you like as 10k does not have to be done following JJMP, it's just there if you wanted it (I didn't actually follow it but many do)

So either way is fine and congratulations on the 10k

You can claim the badge here if you want it!

There's one her with your name on it 😁

Congratulations, your first 10k is really something very special!! 🎉🤸‍♀️🥳🏅 You should claim your 10k badge - you've done your first 10k, you totally deserve it! 💪😁😁😁 Now that you're back running regularly it should be easier to keep it up 😊 Hope that pulled muscle gets better soon!

Claimed it, I couldn’t wait! 😁I really hope this habit will stick, I must say that consistency (unfortunately not a trait of my character) is one of the many benefits this programme brought me!

Yay well done, that shiny new badge next to your name really suits you 👍😃

Good to hear from you and congratulations on an epic 10km 👍👍

Thank you!

[Devon_straggler Graduate10]

Well done! And good to know that I'm not the only one that writes posts in their head while running (or often stretching in my case), but doesn't often actually put them down in text!

[Tzushka Graduate10 in reply to Devon_straggler]

Indeed, good to know! 😁 Now I might dedicate an immaterial post to you during my next run, Devon_straggler !
