10 miles!

[Sigered]

It's a few months since I last posted, back then I was toying with the idea of stepping up to my first half marathon later in the year. Since then I was lucky enough to get a ballot place in the Royal Parks half in October so i thought plenty of time to build up to the distance.

In the meantime I have been running at 3 times a week with one long run at the weekends of at least 10K. Gradually this long run has got longer until last weekend where I managed a 10 mile run.

Now I am only 3 miles off the half marathon distance so I have decided to enter my second half marathon before I have even run my first, and signed up for the Southend half in June. It is close to home and nice a flat by all accounts.

Awesome! Well done!!!

I'm going to assume you'd like your well-earned 10 Mile badge... 😊

Yes please if there is one going.

I have awarded you one - if you are using the Health Unlocked app, though, you will not be able to see it! You'll have to log in from a browser 😊

Thanks. Hopefully I can get an upgrade on the badge in a few months 😀
