Another run done for a good cause! totalled over 8k but didn't run all of that, am a bit out of practice, what with being busy focused on other stuff, 5k running was enough for now, am still busy working on home maintenance, but hoping to ramp up the running..😊

Doesn't matter floss! you did the run for a good cause, and only needed to do the 5 which is a great achievement, think of Mo Farah last week doing his. 😊

Of course the run was a special one which spurred me on, the route I did was nothing special, I had to do the extra Ks to get home,have done the route so many times.

I can't write a great report of my runs like you or others can, but still enjoyed it..😊next one booked is on Rememberance Sunday, but am contemplating doing the Croydon 10k again in October, as nephew is doing it for the first time, but being younger and faster than me I won't be able to stay with him, and I need to practice more for that..😊

Sounds like a plan...:) I remember you doing the Croydon one last year!

Theses youngsters.. they have so much umph..my umph takes a while to get going!

I am slowly building back up to full strength, now after the IC and am hoping to do another 10K Charity run in September.. all things being equal! I have my eye on one, which is close to my heart... :)

I do enjoy the longer distances... :)

Floss, my umph takes a while to get going to, probably about 2-3k,my nephew keeps trying for a pb every Saturday at Parkrun, nothing wrong with that, he's had it down to just over 23 mins and averages at about 25mins, I can't really be bothered with PBs, just being able to get out there and do it is great for me..😊

That's great Dave. You're probably getting a really good workout with the home maintenance thing πŸ™‚

Yep! Up and down ladder, thing is, treading on the rungs plays up my ball of foot niggle, luckily it goes off quickly..
