Mud-free 10k! πŸ™‚

So, another 10k run done - this time on my local roads, so a lot less muddy than my last couple of runs (although I missed it a bit if the truth be told!)

I basically ran my most frequently run 5K lap twice, which is good route as it contains a few inclines/ undulations to work the legs too.πŸ‘πŸ˜¬

Not gonna lie, wasn’t sure how this was going to go as my legs felt quite tired yesterday after β€˜hills’ on Friday! 😱 This run however, reminded me not to listen to the gremlins in my head that try to trip me up with their negative comments! β€˜Gosh, if it feels hard on lap one - what’s lap 2 gonna be like!!’. You know how it goes…!

Anyway, definitely a run that I settled in to - and I kept a fairly steady pace throughout. I’m not breaking any speed records that’s for sure but am just so pleased to be back running 10k again! 😊I have plans to work a little on pace if I survive my upcoming events!πŸ€žπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Have a good week all! πŸ™‚πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒπŸ½

πŸπŸ‘ Yes those Gremlins need to be told a thing or two about toxic 10! How wonderful that you managed another 10K albeit a cleaner run 🀣 Well done Sandra!

Sounds great, well done. I have a 5k loop too from home, but it's quite difficult to do it twice over when those pesky gremlins are chattering away in my head. 'Look there's home, wouldn't you rather stop now....' Takes something to beat them into submission.

That sounds like mostly pure pleasure, you beat the gremlins 😁

I’m super impressed you managed to find a 10k with no mud! Even the pavements around here are muddy! πŸ˜‚

Brilliant run. Congratulations! I don’t think hitting 10k will ever not feel special!
