Longest run yet! :)

Seeing as none of my kids is interested i n the slightest and my husband is still in bed (tut!) I thought I'd come here and whoop!! I wasn't going to go out this morning but I am so glad I did. My last run on Wednesday was 7k and this morning I thought I'd try and go a bit further, maybe to 7.5 but in the end I ran for 8.2k :D It felt great and I think I probably could have gone further! I know I broke the 10% rule but I'm already wondering how much more I have in me. I'm really chuffed, the time was good too - well I think it is! - 52 mins at 6.22 mins per k average.

Maybe I should go and join the Bridge to 10k-ers now ;)

Not the coldest I've run in, 1.1 degrees according to Garmin. It was -3 on Mon and Weds apparently!!!

Wow...well done you! As long as you listen to your body and don't push too hard..you should be fine.

Yes, you should head for Bridge to 10 K...the big school🙂

Loads of support there and great advice..many of us post on both forums...and we are all soooo friendly too.
