Whoooohooooo!!!! Just about sums up the feeling๐Ÿ˜†

Woooohoooo absolutely ๐Ÿ‘. Brilliant and well done .... exciting and exhilarating isn't it! I have to say the "still running when we passed our front door" made me chuckle, but to be fair that happened to me at my mum's the other week when i was a smidge short of my first 5k and i was determined to complete it ..... mum watched me as i joffled past her front door ๐Ÿ‘€ ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ˜‚.

Brilliant to get onto these final weeks of long runs, amazing how you suddenly need longer routes, it will keep happening over your remaining runs. I remember a few runs where I ended up doing circuits of the car park ๐Ÿ˜‰

๐Ÿคฃ never thought Iโ€™d be running out of road when I first started this! Weโ€™ve got a few supermarket car parks nearby so I could finish round the car park then pick up off a bit of shopping in the cool down walk! Panier bags for Dog?๐Ÿ˜†

Well done you! It does feel strange when your run hasn't finished and you find yourself having to run past your own front door!

Yeah, never thought that would happen! Need to plan some new routes๐Ÿ‘

You're probably going a little faster than you were too - extra distance plus extra speed!

Must have been funny having to run past your own house . Time to find a new route it really keeps the running interesting. Well done you ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—

Thanks, definitely time to route plan - if itโ€™s light Iโ€™ve got loads of woodland and park to run round but the dark does restrict your route somewhat, heaven knows how you grads plan your longer runs! I must start paying attention to distances when Iโ€™m driving yo get an idea of potential routes๐Ÿ˜

Just realised it's your pup you're running with ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ•. I've just re-started that ( I used my dogs to disguise what i was upto the first few weeks๐Ÿ˜‚) with my younger pup, but i find it a challenge as he does have a very strong prey drive (greyhound lurcher) and likes to chase a squirrel, which means i run the risk of being pulled flat on my face if we're attached or him disappearing if we're not! Anyway, it makes for a lively joffle ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚
