10 miles conquered!!

[runner56]

Went out today determined to tackle the distance. It has been looming since I managed 10k and was my next logical target.

I am totally astounded that back in March, I set out on my running journey with that first shuffling 60 seconds. Who would have thunk it

Happy runnings folks

Another ten miler today! Crikey. They put something in the water?

Well done!!!!! HM next I expect?

[runner56 Graduate in reply to misswobble]

Thanks MissW. I just posted similar on TTs thread about the water

After I did 10k I didnt really have a goal in mind and the 10m just kind of sneaked up on me. Now that I have done 10, I think the HM may be a target. I have my first official 10k race next month. After that, I may look at a spring HM

[runner56 Graduate]

Thanks PP.

I think we are reaping rewards of a summer of hard work. Be interesting to see how we get through the winter

So pleased to read this, Runner, my fellow Graduate! Brilliant stuff; it really is some milestone you've reached there. The next step is most definitely a HM! Have you stopped grinning yet? .... Didn't think so!

Congratulations!

[runner56 Graduate]

Thanks Miles. I think I might start grinning when the legs stop feeling as if they belong to someone else

How goes the training with you my friend?

[Miles_Yonder Graduate in reply to runner56]

You've covered a big distance; there's bound to be some protests from the legs! You'll be fine with a bit of rest.

Training is going well thank you, my running chum. Did 11.2 miles yesterday, which I'm thoroughly proud of, and am now up to four runs a week. Ran to work and back this week as well; out of necessity through lack of time to train before work more than anything, but it was quite the achievement.

[runner56 Graduate in reply to Miles_Yonder]

Wow!! That is excellent. And four runs a week as well.

Are you still pounding the streets at daft o'clock or have you adopted a more "normal" approach?

[GettingFitter Graduate]

Blimey great achievement well done. I'm only a month behind (started in April) but miles behind having only done 10k. Well done

[runner56 Graduate in reply to GettingFitter]

Couch to 10k in less than 4 months is fantastic and something to be rightly proud of. Just think back to W1R1 and smile

[Ullyrunner Graduate]

Another triumphant 10 miler - congratulations!

[runner56 Graduate in reply to Ullyrunner]

Thanks Ully. As its now the day after I will volunteer as being the the one who is stiff and sore

[runner56 Graduate]

Thanks KK. We could certainly do a relay
