Well as Victor Meldrew would say "I don't bloody believe it" I only went and ran 10k this morning.

Me yes old fat me. 7 months after deciding to get a bit fitter I just ran 6.2 miles in 69.32. All on my lonesome with a great playlist.

Set out to do 6k and decided at 5k that I would try for 7k ( only done that once before) and at 7k the next one was downhill so did that one too. I wasn't giving up after that so a flat 9th k and then the 10th with a bit of a hill which nearly killed me but I did it.

I'm a bit sore now but done 23k this week

Happy days

Right I'm off for a well earned steak and chips and a pint

Happy running weekend everyone

Remember if I can do it anyone can

[Running-nana Graduate]

Yay, go you! Fantastic achievement 👍 enjoy the steak and pint, well deserved I reckon 🍻

[Wolvesmad Graduate in reply to Running-nana]

Hi Sparkest

Didn't go steak in the end 🥩🔪 I went fish 🍤🐟. I've been avoiding meat since Xmas. Not to do with running more to do with environment etc. But I was tempted. Not so easily swayed these days though I did have a mcflurry 🍦🍦

Top man, enjoy your food and pints and wolves victory today.

[Wolvesmad Graduate in reply to Daznvern]

Good win Daznvern and possibly European footy ⚽️🥅 next year so exciting times ahead. 10k for me is exciting too As I never planned to ever run that far. Just shows what you can do if you put your mind to it

[Debston Graduate]

Wowser, well done! Enjoy your steak and chips!

[Wolvesmad Graduate in reply to Debston]

Thanks Debston

[Hidden]

Very well done, I bet that steak/beer tasted extra good

[Wolvesmad Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Good habits die hard I'm afraid. Ended up having fish 🐟 and Pepsi max 🥃

Still nice though

[RunSamRun Graduate]

That's amazing!! Well done you, you must be super proud. Can't imagine doing that distance anytime soon. Very inspiring. Enjoy that well deserved pint!! 🍻😀

[Wolvesmad Graduate in reply to RunSamRun]

Hi Sam

My previous best was 8k and only once about 3 months ago. In fact ive only ever run more than 6k twice in 7 months but somehow yesterday it felt right as i was going round and even though I knew i might not do it I got to a stage where it was all or nothing. I find it's easy for the gremlins in my head🤯🤯 to make me shorter routes but I was having none of it yesterday. Prepared to walk 4k home if I had to 😂😂

[Fabulous450 Graduate]
