So today was my first run on the bridge.... to 10k! 😃

After saying I wasn’t doing it I’m going for it, signing up for the local 10k in April, that I’ve watched people run past my house for the last 18 years 😁

That’s wonderful! The run is down a loyal fan but they’re up a great person.

She’s on a winner... I wouldn’t be able to outrun my daughter ever... hope there’s no money riding on it!

You’ll finish... you have lots of time, you’ll be over 10k on your long run by then!

Oh... she is 26btw, married but likes to party and has done zero training so far, I’m sure none will be done for several months and she will try to ‘wing it’ 💪🏻

Nice one Emma, I'm sure you'll smash it! I really enjoyed doing the 10k plan, and you've got loads of time before your race. Good luck!

Thanks Mike, I’m not going to rush it, I have it all planned out, will do my ‘big run’ on the treadmill one 5k early morning and 5k park run on a Saturday 😁 if I need to build up the big run slower I have enough time to do so
