Consolidation 24 and Weekly Virtual 5K

[Jools2020]

This was my long, slow run in Zone 3. A lovely run on a beautiful sunny morning in the Norfolk Fens!

I wrote a longer post and accidentally posted it in the Bridge to 10K forum 😬 but thought I may as well leave it there.

This is my third 10K and I’m actually having trouble believing I can run this far with relative ease - and really enjoy it, as well.

I stayed in Zone 3 and wasn’t even out of breath at the finish 😀

Happy Saturday running, everyone 👍😀

Fantastic start to your weekend Julia - seems you were in good company this morning!

10k Saturday

Well done 👏👏👏💕

[Jools2020 Graduate in reply to Tinytears60]

Yes, great start to the weekend.. thank you! Thinking of shifting this run to Sunday, though. Less traffic! 👍💕

[Tinytears60 Graduate in reply to Jools2020]

I like my Sunday runs and as you say - perhaps a bit more peaceful 👍

[Roxdog Graduate]

Fantastic! These longer runs are so great!

[Jools2020 Graduate in reply to Roxdog]

Aren’t they just! 🥰

[Roxdog Graduate in reply to Jools2020]

I can hardly believe it, having never run until I started cto5k. Magic!

[Jools2020 Graduate in reply to Roxdog]

I’m the same as you! And as an older runner, I really didn’t think I would be able to do it. My aim was 5K. And now I’m thinking maybe 10 miles is within my grasp!

[Roxdog Graduate in reply to Jools2020]

Ditto! I'm nearly 61. What is happening to us!

[Jools2020 Graduate in reply to Roxdog]

Haha, we’ve got the running bug! I’m 66 😀. My aim was to run in a park run. That’s been postponed of course because of the virus. We’ll be doing half marathons, next 😂

It's 10k Saturday 😁

A great run Jools ,

The 10k is more enjoyable than the 5 now for me .

Wonder when we will swap the K for Miles ? 🤔😬

[Jools2020 Graduate in reply to Instructor57]

Soon is my guess 😂

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Jools2020]

Haha, I'm not going to rush into it .

But will build to it over the next few weeks 👍

[Jools2020 Graduate in reply to Instructor57]

Yes - tag a bit more onto the 10K runs. Starting next week 😊

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Jools2020]

That's my plan 😁👍

[Roxdog Graduate in reply to Instructor57]

Me too!

[Jools2020 Graduate in reply to Roxdog]

10 miles here we come 😀

[nowster Graduate]

Wow! That's progress. 👍

New profile photo too?

[Jools2020 Graduate in reply to nowster]

Thanks ! Haha yes, you are very observant 😊

[Birdlady64 Graduate]

Another wonderful run for you! It must be 10k Saturday! 😁

[Jools2020 Graduate in reply to Birdlady64]

Thank you 🙏 Yes, it was great, but I met so much traffic towards the end of my run, I’m thinking of transferring it to Sundays instead 😀

[Birdlady64 Graduate in reply to Jools2020]

I know what you mean and it is increasingly problematic with the shorter days.

But Sunday is definitely a lie in day. I think it would be divorce if I suggested getting up early to go for a run on a Sunday 😂
