So this week I have ran for the first time with my 61 year old Dad. He has ran all his adult life 4 times a week and is very fit. It was really lovely to be able to run with him and it’s nice to think it’s something we can do regularly. He said he never thought we would ever go running together!!
Tonight I have ran 8k for the first time. Pretty consistent times although on the slow side overall.
I have the Manchester 10k next Sunday but after that I’m looking forward to getting back to my 5k’s 4 times a week. Not sure this long distance running is for me 🏃♀️😩🙈. Having said that it’s been good to push myself, I suppose!!!
Hope everyone else is doing well and still enjoying their running? 😃💪👟

Congratulations on the big 5! Or 8k, I measure in miles. Sub 7 km average... that’s not slow!!! That’s 1:10 10k pace, which many of us would love... its sub 2 hours 30 HM pace... if I was running a HM soon I’d be chuffed with that time. Great great job. Enjoy that 10k
Well done! I ran with my daughter a couple of weeks ago, she recently graduated too. We’re running pretty much similar times so it was easy. We’re doing the Park Run together this Saturday, her 1st. My 3rd.
And Yesterday I did my 1st Race for Life 5K, do a lot of firsts for both of us!
