Well everyone. It started off as a very busy day. Auditors are in all week at work and to tell you truth tempers are running hi.

So after work I decided enough was enough and a fantastic de-stress would be to go for a nice gentle relaxing run.

The sun was shining so I dond my kit and out I went listening to Laura c25k+. Well after 30 minutes the tiger was released and good old forest took over. Although a slow time I smashed the 10K barrier and I feel fantastic. Only stopping as I new it was time to return home. God it feels good. Another achievement under my belt. This runner is tiger gump all the way. So as always come on you new runners if I can do it so can you :) J

Well done. A 10 k is a great thing isn't it. I love running them

I ran one today, after a hard day painting my lounge. Boy it was good to escape. Running is an escape I think. Well it is for me. Sounds like it is for you too Jase

Hmmm. Tiger-gump sounds like... well. we'll draw a discreet veil over what it sounds like. But that aside, well done on a great run. Every new distance achieved is always a great feeling but 10k is a particularly special one I think. Whether it is because of the nice round number or being a real significant distance I don't know. Pat yourself on the back. And try not to get any of that tiger gump on you.
