Last week I achieved my first 10K (two weeks ahead of schedule) and with a fairly good time of 59:27 so today I had to prove to myself that it wasnβt a fluke!
Super happy π to report that it wasnβt down to luck at all! Iβve just completed my 2nd 10K and shaved off a not too shabby 41 seconds! πͺ Smashing a new PB!
My fuel? Nothing but an empty stomach and lots of pent up energy! Mixed with quite a bit of anger and despair with the state of life at the moment!
I started C25K in May and back then I wouldnβt even run for a bus π For anyone starting out - keep going!
Youβll be amazed by what you can achieve! Ignore your inner gremlins and the external negative nellies who might be quick to label you a βrookieβ because you dare to be more than average. If you want and can run quicker - do it! If youβre happy to run at a pace comfortable for you - do it! Do YOU!

Thanks Hareshaw-Granny ππ» Glad you thought I could easily smash it π€ I was apprehensive π¬ and did let some negative nellies get to me before I gave my head a wobble! Oh no! π€¦ββοΈ I hope you are off the IC soon!? HM and forwards plans are brewing in the back of my mind already π
Thanks Jools2020 ππ» I just had to check that it wasnβt the excessive amount of coffee βοΈ Iβve been drinking of late that pushed me over the line last week! π€
Itβs all Snakes π and Ladders! Glad to read you are back up and running πͺ Take it slow and steady and youβll be back to full steam in no time! π€
