Race for Life completed

Thank you all for your support. I "ran" the 5k. I actually stopped to walk 3 times. Total time was 50.03 mins and I walked for a total of 10 mins. Old Floss was with me for the slow & steady and so was IannodaTruffe when I apologised for breaking the 10% rule. There were new challenges and one part that I just could not run was uphill with a significant camber, in the full sun, on wet grass and with the wrong music (running playlist would not go grr). However in the shade, on the path with the right music, I felt like a runner and the hill was OK, even got up a bit of speed (well those walking stopped overtaking me). My left ankle is not happy and rather swollen, as I did push myself but I am telling me it was a good cause and I will recover. Next run will be a gentle 30 mins.

The team is the Faltering Footsteps and we went from the run to our local pub, The Falerting Fullback.

it sounds like you pushed it, up hills too and other challenges, for a great cause! Really happy to see this post. I hope the ankle calms down and you can get gently back to it soon.

Well done and yes for a great cause, sounds like you need to take a few days off now to let things repair and once again well done

[Hidden]

Nicely done Nikki, just rest that poor ankle now, and bask in the glory of a run well done

Well done!! 🎉🎉 rest up and. Let your ankle recover.

[Hidden]

Well done! You all look very happy and finishing with a run to the pub sounds like just the ticket. This was your original goal I think? So BIG congratulations

[nikkiwabit Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Original goal - not sure you mean the run or finishing at the pub! Probably both.

[Hidden in reply to nikkiwabit]

Ending at the pub is a whole life goal surely 🍺

[Fishypieface Graduate]

Congratulations! I love your determination you've done amazingly well, mind that ankle and hope that it's ok.... maybe a couple of extra rest days are in order

[nikkiwabit Graduate in reply to Fishypieface]

did jumble trail today (like a garage sale) so ankle that was settling bit achy again so got the ice back on. Definitely some rest needed
