Thrilled!

Absolutely chuffed to bits. Decided to run a linear route this evening rather than my usual circuit. I usually walk the route so had an idea of how far I thought I might get before the half way bell went to tell me to turn around.

I couldn't believe it when I got far beyond where I'd estimated before the bell went. It usually takes me 20min to walk the route and I'd exceeded it in 12 and a half mins.

I was buzzing so much I even managed to pick up the pace for the last minute. I'm so pleased with my progress I'm even tempted to take my running shoes to Malta next week!

Do it! I'm taking mine to Ibiza, we can be virtual running buddies at ridiculous o'clock to avoid the heat ๐Ÿƒโ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿƒ

Well done kittentamer๐Ÿ˜Š

Great idea to run on holiday, lots of new sights to take your mind of the time, and maybe a swim to cool off๐Ÿƒ๐ŸŠ...

Hi KT - well done you, take your shoes to Malta, they deserve a holiday and different scenery as do you. will be thinking of you and Runningraspberrydiva at the same time. Lucifer is still here... so it will be hot, hot, hot. Good luck

Dulux colours might not cover it in those temperatures!

Hi Kittentamer if you've not already left for hols, then buy & pack some rehydration powders (otherwise known as Dioralyte) good for rehydrating after a hot run (as well as great for hangovers) if you've packed your running gear ๐Ÿƒโ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿƒ
