Hello Linda. Thank you for organising this. I ran my 10K this morning at 11:30am on a beautiful calm and warm day. No clouds in the Sky. My finish time was 1 hour and 1 minute or 61 minutes. I walked 1 kilometer home to cool down afterwards.

Excellent, thank you! Wasn't it a lovely day for it!

[Curlygurly2 Graduate10]

Hi Linda, my finish time was 1:34:20 - elapsed time 1:39:36

[linda9389 Graduate10 in reply to Curlygurly2]

Brilliant! A job well done 👏

[Curlygurly2 Graduate10 in reply to linda9389]

Thank you, I expect I shall be last, but I'm used to that!

[linda9389 Graduate10 in reply to Curlygurly2]

Nope! Not that we have first or last ... genuinely just a winner amongst winners 🥰

[ChannelRunner2 Graduate10 in reply to Curlygurly2]

Thank you, Curlygurly2 , for sharing this! I am right behind you 😊

I am running this morning and had been strangely nervous about my slow 90 minute goal (will I meet it? It's pushing me!). Until I saw your post! It is both a relief and an inspiration to see that I am not the only (proud!) slow af runner 😎.

Congratulations on completing the 10K 🥳

[linda9389 Graduate10 in reply to ChannelRunner2]

I love this. All speeds are to be celebrated, because the real celebration is getting started, finishing and enjoying 🥳

[Leotigris Graduate10]

Hi Linda, I completed my 10K this morning: total distance 10.01K, time 1:10:01

[linda9389 Graduate10 in reply to Leotigris]

Fabulous! Well done. I'll add that to the list now 😊

[LurcherMum Graduate10]

Hi Linda and team. Thank you for getting us all out and making me put a lot more effort into my usual Thursday 10k. I completed the 10k in 1:21:56. I set off at 6:30am so I could get home and showered before WFH. Met lots of lovely dogs on the way, some of which I say hello to every Thursday morning!

[linda9389 Graduate10 in reply to LurcherMum]

Wow! Well done, congratulations 👏👏👏It's comments like this that make these events feel so worthwhile 😊

[Sax64 Graduate10]

I've done a run report, but my 10k result is 1 hour 16 mins 23 seconds. Thanks for all your work in organising the event, absolutely super 👏🏅

[linda9389 Graduate10 in reply to Sax64]

Brilliant. Congratulations, I'll go read the report - we love them 😊

[ReyC Graduate10]

thanks for organising linda9389 !

I have managed to squeeze this in just before the deadline and despite not feeling up to it at all recently!

I managed it in 1:07 which I think is a minute faster than my last years time!

My time

[linda9389 Graduate10 in reply to ReyC]

Wow. Well done! Sorry you've not been well but now you have the perfect reason to rest and reflect on your achievement 👏👏👏

Stats first: 10K in 01:29:20

Essay 🙃 second: I did it 🥳 I am so super proud of this! It was my first 10K since, well, a while... A bunch of viruses kept sidelining me, including Corona for Christmas. But I am back now 💪 Last week was my first 90 minute run and I was so close to 10K, I decided for this week, I'd try to finish the 10K within the 90 minutes.

To do that, I allowed my heart rate to go a bit higher than I'd like for long runs. At first, I was stressing myself around that - heart rate too high, me too slow, will I make it?! 🙈 Then I realized that this is also my mindful, naked run, so time to focus on surroundings. Birds. Green. My smile appeared on my face and I just ran. 😊

This was also day 25 of the #SiRunStreak24 to raise awareness about running (and movement in general) as a mental health tool. I've been running or walking (almost) every day of May at least 10K (one day, before I redefined my streak like this, I walked 9K). 🥳

The only sadness: I haven't heard back from Sprinters, so I might not get a medal... 😢 Although, tbh, I don't really need it... 🫣

Wow, that's awesome!!! Well done. Target smashed. Don't worry, you won't have missed sprinters yet. You emailed them about overseas postage right? I will be messaging them next week once we have closed the ordering window; I will mention it to them then. If you hear from them first, could you pop a message here or in chat for me.

[ChannelRunner2 Graduate10 in reply to linda9389]

Yes, I emailed them about shipping to Germany and, yes, I'll let you know if they respond before I hear from you 😊 .

[Birdlady64 Graduate10]

Well, I did it. Just about, and just in time too. It wasn't pretty but I did enjoy it in a strange way, even though my legs were screaming at me by the end. Time 1:41:23

Thanks for organising linda9389 Loved the eclectic playlist too!

Yay! Well done you!!! 'I did enjoy it in a strange way' is a win 🏆 The legs will quieten down 😍

[Comfortnotspeed Graduate10]

Thank you for all the organisation 🙂

I tried for 10k today and had to pull up unfortunately. Just one of those things at the moment.

Well done all! A great thing to be part of 👏

[linda9389 Graduate10 in reply to Comfortnotspeed]

Sorry it didn't work out for you today. If you have a time for 10k run and walk - that counts just fine. I can record that for you if you have it.

[MissUnderstanding Administrator Graduate10]

Guess who literally just finished their HU10?!’n I’ll give you a clue-it was me!!! Got absolutely soaked, ran in the dark, fuelled on custard creams. So pleased to get it done!!! I’m going to stretch, shower and order my medal.

Not close fastest but one of the most satisfying to finish. A hard fought 1hr9 minutes.

Thank you so much for organising this. Knowing I was running with everyone else got me over the line today. ❤️❤️❤️

[linda9389 Graduate10 in reply to MissUnderstanding]

Wow, that's dedication! Well done!!! Do you recommend custard creams then? 😍😍😍

[MissUnderstanding Administrator Graduate10 in reply to linda9389]

It was an unconventional fuelling strategy borne out of necessity but it did the job!

[linda9389 Graduate10 in reply to MissUnderstanding]

Love it 😍😍😍

[Lavender1962 Graduate10]

I’m late but I think that I’m 6 hours behind. I completed the Ottawa half marathon today! My 10 mile time was 2:08:04. Thanks so much for adding me to the HU ten mile. Run report to follow.

[linda9389 Graduate10 in reply to Lavender1962]

Fantastic! Congratulations!!! Thank you for taking part 😊
