I only popped out for a quick 3️⃣K run 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️

[Kimchoc08]

After finishing work at 12:15 today as a meeting that was planned had been rescheduled, I thought why not head out for a quick run. Just a short 3km as I am hopefully going to be competing in my first Parkrun on Saturday but oh no, it seems the running gods above had a different plan in store for me today.

The first km arrived quickly and left the station to head onwards to the 2nd km. Once km number 2 arrived, it promptly left and turned into number 3. By this point I was thinking ‘this run feels good, I mean really good’ so I carried on. Km 3 came and went in a blur as did km number 4 and still it felt good. Really good. So onwards I went, 5km came upon me and flashed by and then 6km was upon me and here is where the kilometre train terminated!!

I alighted the kilometre train, stopped the MapMyRun app and took a lovely 8 minute cool down walk home, singing out loud to Placebo’s cover version of Running Up That Hill and I didn’t give a 💩 who heard me!!

I am loud, I’m proud but more than anything else, I am a RUNNER!!

Get out there people and show the couch potatoes of the world what us runners are made of!! 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏼

Great stuff Kim! Good time too 👍 Placebo are one of my favourites and their cover of Running up that hill is fantastic!!

Good luck with the Parkrun, you'll love it 😁👏

[Kimchoc08 Graduate in reply to lardofale]

One of my all time favourite tunes!! I’m looking forward to my first Parkrun as I’ve been trying to fit one in for about 4 weeks!! University open day have put paid to Parkruns but I’ve got a free Saturday this week!!

I love this post. I am literally singing along with you 😀 I had a similar run on Monday. Accidentally ran 6.7K 😬 All tech failed and I felt good so just kept going. Mapped my route when I got home and was gobsmacked! Keep on running up that Hill I am running up there with ya 😀😝

[Kimchoc08 Graduate in reply to Branners12]

Oohh, I thought I could sense a fellow runner by my side today!! Well done on your run on Monday. I love it when runs like that happen 😊😊

[IannodaTruffe Mentor]

[KimLoulou Graduate]

The first 10K I did I was like that. Felt like Forrest Gump. Everything clicked into place.

[Kimchoc08 Graduate in reply to KimLoulou]

It’s lovely when runs are like that 😊

I like these running gods, when they show up, they really spur you on. Well done that runner

[Kimchoc08 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

I didn’t even pray to the gods today and they still showed up!!

[ejvcruns Graduate]

Well this is lovely to read. Who would have thought we’d get lifetime tickets on the runners express, eh? Looks beautiful!

[Kimchoc08 Graduate in reply to ejvcruns]

Thank you 😊 It certainly felt good today

[Fenellawny Graduate]

Ooh that does sound like a lovely run. I can’t wait until Saturday so I can run again, it’s just too dark when I get home from work. IEnjoy your park run mine was a very friendly affair last week, my first time on grass and it was hard to run as I couldn’t hear my feet! Hope the weather is kind too.

[Kimchoc08 Graduate in reply to Fenellawny]

Thanks. I haven’t even looked at the weather. Let’s hope it’s dry!!
