13k done and dusted

[Me_time]

When I left work this arvo, it was pouring outside and I was not looking forward to run in that kind of rain. At the same time, did not want to miss the long run day. Luckily, by the time I reached my sister's place and started out run it had turned into light showers and completely stopped by the time we walked to the park. Yay! Completed the 13k run and so proud of myself..even though the legs are a bit sore today.

My pace though has remained kind of in same zone so far. Not that I am trying any harder, still going at conversational place trying to enjoy being outside and exercising. Wondering if the pace slowly improves with time?

My sister was tracking the run on google fit and it says 17.66km. She refuses to believe we did only 13k in that time as she thinks our pace was good too.

Finished the run and was rewarded with this beautiful sight. U can tell its going to be a foggy night/early morning again.

Btw, I am having trouble when clicking on the notifications to go to the comment. It comes up with some error & does not display the page. Having issues with going to anyone's page to look at their posts through notifications. Is anyone else experiencing any website problems?

I found that my pace didn't immediately go up, but it eventually started to do so a few weeks after extending the distance.

Did you take any fuel or fluids with you? I always need something (even if it's just a token amount) if the run's going to be over 90 minutes.

No I didnt. Will need to buy a small bottle that I can carry with me.

Well done with the run .If you look through previous posts you will see several on the alerts issue and I reported it to HU at the time, although I have had no official report of this being fixed it now appears to be ok (maybe clear your cache)

Oh wow, clearing the cache worked! Thx Instructor57

Well done on that 13k!! I personally would trust Garmin over Google fit - anything that uses my phone to track always gives me a longer distance for some reason.

As you clock up more miles your pace should improve but of course it will depend on the weather, terrain and staying fit and healthy so you can keep up your running routine 😃👍
