I did it!!!!

Well.... I did it!! Only my second 5k at aintree! I’d been poorly for two weeks and on steroids for asthma.

I’d done a couple of small runs and felt ok. So today I was just aiming to finish and boy did I finish!! I got a pb!! Totally unexpected!! Absolutely made up with me!! 🏃‍♀️👍 what ever your story/journey is you can do it xx

Congratulations to you myslimmingworld for running your second 5K at Aintree, at least you did not to have to jump over the high fences such as Becher's Brook, The Chair or The Canal Turn that the horses have to jump at the Grand National.

Glad that you are recovering from your asthma. Nice bling/medal you got. 😊 🏃

[Hidden in reply to AlMorr]

Hahah! No chance of jumping too!x first medal for 5k!x

[ktsok Graduate in reply to Jell6]

Have you picked up some bling along the way, Jell6?

[Jell6 Graduate in reply to ktsok]

Not so far!, I was thinking about Race At Your Pace, I was wondering if 50 miles in March was a tad ambitious, I'll see if I get across JuJu's Bridge to10k first.

[ktsok Graduate in reply to Jell6]

😳

Do you mean next month?!

[Jell6 Graduate in reply to ktsok]

Well that's the thought, it's spread over whole month , so that's around 20km a week I think., I'm only mulling it over.😬🤯

[ktsok Graduate in reply to Jell6]

Oh I see! 🤦🏼‍♀️ I missed the ‘spread over the month’ bit. 😆

Well, 50 miles is approximately 84.5k.

Divided by 31 days = 2.725km per day; 5.45km every other day; 19km per week (4 weeks + the 3 days)...

Is the bling good?!

[Jell6 Graduate in reply to ktsok]

That explains the horror I felt in your reply 😱😱.

Yes it looks pretty good, there is a 25 mile in the month option, perhaps that will be a better first choice for me.

[ktsok Graduate in reply to Jell6]

Sounds fun! I guess only you know your body and your current capabilities and will choose the goal that suits you best. Great to have a goal though... I’m a bit rootless at present.

(I have been reading several books about running marathons and ultras, which might explain the conclusion I jumped to!)

[Jell6 Graduate in reply to ktsok]

I blame your mum!

[ktsok Graduate in reply to Jell6]

🤣

Thank you X

[ktsok Graduate]

Well done! Your bling looks as though you have done a 5k, 10k and HM! 🤩

[Hidden in reply to ktsok]

Haha!! Baby steps!!😂😂xx

[ktsok Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Well, you have! Just maybe not all at the same time... yet 😂

Seriously, well done.

(I have just realised since seeing your pic that I want some bling too!)

[Hidden in reply to ktsok]

Ha! Do it!!! X
