What a beautiful day in Portsmouth today for the Great South Run! We arrived early so were able to park on the common, a few minutes from all the action. I did this event a couple of years ago with my sister and had hoped to do this one with my husband but sadly he has been out with a calf injury. Anyway, a fab course which I really enjoyed running, although I did have to drop my pace a bit in the sunshine - it felt pretty hot at times and I am very much a cold weather runner! Despite this, the last couple of miles seemed easier this time, running into a gentle breeze along the promenade. Finished with a chip time of 1:44:20 (slower than my first GSR but pretty much what I hoped for today) and now happily admiring my medal🏅 and technical tshirt! Hope everyone else's runs went well, too. 🙂🏃🏽♀️

Well done! Sounds like you had a very successful day. I'm just home but feeling low and emotional for some reason! I will post later after oxygenating my tired muscles and brain with some nice cold prosecco.
Congratulations on your run 🙂 x

Congratulations! 😄 What a difference a week makes with the weather—what a beautiful blue sky to run beneath! I'm a cold runner too, but having a breeze by the sea is the absolute tops in all temperatures 😎
Congratulations 💐🎉🍾. Lovely pictures. Great time.

Congratulations, great photos 😀
Hi Sandra, sorry to drop in on your post like this but I wanted to say hi I just started Couch to 5K again after a loooong break from running and I wanted to see if you were still around on the forum as I remembered you! Happy to see you completed the GSR last year like you wanted, amazing time well done!!

Hi Sarah!🙂 Good to 'see' you back on here! Hope you are ok? Yes, I am still around, although have not run for a few weeks following a flu lurgy and chest infection😫. I am now almost over it and am really looking forward to being back out there again! Good luck with C25k (Take 2!). I am sure you will build that fitness up quickly. Enjoy!🙂
