More bling! 😁🏃🏅

[MutleyShuffle]

My second of three 10k races this month - the Poppy 10k at Bexhill-on-Sea. I was looking forward to a nice flat run but it turned out to be quite hard work due to a chilly blast that had covered the lower promenade in shingle! Managed to complete the course without sliding into the sea! Happy that I got a new PB of 1 hour 3 minutes 48 seconds. I came 95th out of 200 females, which isn't bad for an old gal like me!

Nice bling to add to my (small) collection 😊🏅🏅🏅

Well done MutleyShuffle on completing that 10K in a very good time of 1.3.48, you are not a old gal, you are young at heart ♥, think of it, you beat 105 people who were behind you, many of whom I think would be younger. 😊Good luck🤞 for third 10K

Hi MutleyShuffle, Well done to you! Congratulations! You are super speedy and from your photo not an old gal, as you put it, at all. 🍾🥂🏅👏🏻😊🎉👍☀️🏃‍♀️🤸‍♀️🏃‍♀️🤸‍♀️🏃‍♀️🤸‍♀️ Three races in one month! Wow!!! 😳

[MutleyShuffle Half Marathon in reply to over61andstilltrying]

Thank you 61andtrying - yes, I got a bit carried away signing up for so many races! It will make or break me!! 😬

Oh well done Mutley. Your 10km races sound like endurance runs Hope number 3 is a walk in the park. Great time for a younger gal than myself no doubt

[MutleyShuffle Half Marathon in reply to Hidden]

Thanks paulanoo - yes that's what they feel like! And the next one is another hilly one - yikes! 😲

Thank you Macmac 😊

[Whatsapp Half Marathon]

Well done. The loose shingles underfoot were worrying, but apparently quite usual for that event. One of the downsides of a November run along a promenade I suppose. Glad you enjoyed the run though, and a PB to boot!

[MutleyShuffle Half Marathon in reply to Whatsapp]

Thanks Whatsapp 😊 Yes I was a bit scared I was going to go flying! How did you get on with the 5k?

[Whatsapp Half Marathon in reply to MutleyShuffle]

It was tough. I got my pacing all wrong and should should have maybe had breakfast earlier. Nice event though.

[MutleyShuffle Half Marathon in reply to Whatsapp]

Sorry to hear your pacing was all out. Mine wasn't great, I struggled towards the end - in fact I found the whole thing tough - just pleased I finished it!!

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon]

Congratulations. Sounds like a great run, great time and great position. The shingle sounds tricky so really well done. Lovely medal 🙂

[MutleyShuffle Half Marathon in reply to linda9389]

Thank you Linda, it is a lovely medal isn't it 😊

Congratulations on your fantastic 10k, brilliant time and delicious bling ! Medal very poignant ! Now tell me ........how do you manage to get a brilliant time like yours? Any advice from one old gal to another! By the way though I expect your younger than me too🤣🤣xx

[MutleyShuffle Half Marathon in reply to Hidden]

Ha ha thank you Peggy! I'm 54 years young, I suspect you may be a couple of years older if your name is anything to go by! My times are slowly creeping down, just lots of practice I guess. Have joined a running club so one run a week is with them, one is Park Run and one is a long one on my own. I've regularly been doing a 10k run every week since I graduated Bridge to 10k in September. Hope that helps! 😊

[Hidden in reply to MutleyShuffle]

Ha! Ha! You’ve guessed it ! Yes I’m 60🤪 and my name isn’t Peggy really. Although my name is Margaret I’ve always been called Maggie. However I think it’s a northern thing. ( Newcastle) all of my relatives or any one for that matter who were named Margaret were consequently called Peggy!

Anyway thanks for your your tips. I might even join a running club near me.

Happy running and keep up the good work!👍🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🤗🤗

[MutleyShuffle Half Marathon in reply to Hidden]

Thanks Peggy/Maggie 😁 Yes do join a running club, it does give you a boost - Happy running to you too! 👍🏃🏃🏃

[Hidden in reply to MutleyShuffle]

[Runsome Marathon]

Fantastic on you PB especially after that mountain climb of a 10k you did last weekend. That medal looks fantastic and for such a good cause. Well done and you should be very proud of yourself excellent job 👍😊🏅

[MutleyShuffle Half Marathon in reply to Runsome]

Thank you so much Runsome, that's very kind of you 😊

[Irish-John Marathon]

Well done - and that's a nice addition to your "exclusive, not small" trophy board

[MutleyShuffle Half Marathon in reply to Irish-John]

Ha ha I like that, thanks Irish-John! 😊

[Decker Ultramarathon]

Well done on your PB! it is a beautiful medal and a great memory.

[MutleyShuffle Half Marathon in reply to Decker]

Thank you Decker, it is a gorgeous medal 😊

[Dexy5 10 Miles]

Well done for doing the poppy run Mutley shuffle and an excellent time too . Your bling is different to ours, I guess the events are run by different organisations. Yes we had shingle and shells on our parkrun too after a very stormy Friday night. Not easy to run on.

[MutleyShuffle Half Marathon]

Thank you Dexy5, well done on your poppy run too! Yes I think ours was organised by a local group. No shingle is not a good surface to run on!

[roseabi Ultramarathon]

Fabulous - well done!!!!!!

[MutleyShuffle Half Marathon in reply to roseabi]

Thank you roseabi! 😊
