First 10k in the Bag!

โ€ข7 Replies

With no expectations, I set my timer for 1 hour! If I managed it, great! If not, then no big deal!

My pace felt slow, intentionally, but I was surprised by my average over the whole run & exceeded my expectations by running over 11k!

Hope the weather holds out, want to get out on the bike this afternoon, after the match! Come on, the toon! HWTL! ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ โšฝ๏ธ ๐Ÿšฒ

Iโ€™ve got no idea what the presumably football references are at the end of your post ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ˜‚ but you said you were going to try to run for 1hr. Can I just point out that your Strava says you โ€˜onlyโ€™ ran for 59mins59secs?!๐Ÿ˜‚

Iโ€™ll add the missing second on to my next run! ๐Ÿ˜‚Whenever that might! Left knee is in trouble! โ˜น๏ธ
