Well done Rockette! Good distance.

I can never run straight after work, too hungry

[Rockette in reply to emkeenan]

Thanks emkeenan , I had only done 5hrs today & it was very humid though but drunk plenty of water before .

That's great Rockette you are doing so well, hills too? Very impressed

[Rockette in reply to lizziebeth57]

Thanks lizziebeth , how's things with you ?

[lizziebeth57 Graduate in reply to Rockette]

Pretty good thanks. Been back running for just over 3 weeks (in the end was off almost 3 months) and did 28 minutes my last run. Aiming for the half hour this week. Before I got sick and sore I was up to 7k so I am taking my time but want to do 10k by the end of the year

[Rockette in reply to lizziebeth57]

Yes take it steady , it's no good rushing things . I learned the hard way like you & was out of action 9 wks . Well glad to hear all is well , & remember , nice & steady . Good luck .

Hey, well done Rockette, that's brilliant. You'll be joining Miles_Yonder as a running commuter one of these days. 6.5 k is very impressive straight after work, especially if there were hills involved

[Rockette in reply to AncientMum]

I know , the hills can't be avoided because I work at the hospital & it's pretty high up & hills surrounding it but it all helps I suppose getting the stamina levels up

Great news! and your energy and hard work is paying off. You were patient after your injury and still gave us so much support here and now look! you are flying! 7k will be and easy one after your last run - good to be same route and add that little longer at the end. Keep loving it - it obviously loves you! Good luck

[Rockette in reply to carole01]

Aww thanks Carole hope all is well with you

[Laurae Graduate]

Wow, well done you!!!! I think that is fantastic. Go you!!!

[Rockette in reply to Laurae]

Thanks laure , I'll keep adding them bits on , slow & steady wins the race lol !

[no-excuse Graduate]

Well done Rockette you are doing so well! Good for you for running straight from work. x

[paul2014 Graduate]

Well done, Rockette Good luck for reaching 7

[misswobble Graduate]

Yep, keep adding them bits on and you'll soon get to ten kms. Running the hills will make you stronger. If you run the same hills next time I bet you'll find it much easier

[frannyfran Graduate]

Impressive, especially straight after work!

Well done.
