So today I ran 10 miles. 10 actual miles. Every step. Portsmouth did us proud. Lovely people, perfect weather, beautiful flat route with lots to see.

Did I mention I ran 10 miles?! Tell that to the me of 2 years ago and I would’ve laughed in your face! As it said on one fellas t shirt today:

Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go. T.S. Eliot.

BTW is there a 10 mile banner?!😂

Oh I didn’t realise you were there too Katiepops! There were quite a number of HU members there today (see all the posts). 😀

Well done on running it - wasn’t it fantastic fun? Great bling and technical top top I thought. 😍

Well done. Sounds like quite a journey over the past 2 years!

Congratulations, do pick up your 10 mile badge. Gsr is such a great event, fab organisation and brilliant atmosphere. After a rest, what will you do next?

Half marathon next. Not sure which one! Some of it depends on my OH who is a bit of an ultra boy. He’ll find me one that’s not too hilly for my first! Can’t wait, but I’ll certainly do GSR again, such a great atmosphere.x

I’ve registered for Hampton Court HM on 15 March. Quite flat, out along the river, starting and finishing in the Palace and free entry to the gardens for runners.

That will be a beautiful venue if the weather is at all cooperative. 🏃🏼‍♀️

That’s what I thought! One of my friends persuaded me that, if I can do 10 miles, I can do a HM (he does several a year!). I could choose which one and he’ll run with me. How could I refuse?! This one looks lovely!

Sounds perfect. We used to live round there, and I can imagine several lovely routes. 💕

OOOH that sounds a good one! I’ll have a look at it and let you know if I’m doing it. Plenty of time to add three miles too! Local ish as well.😊

Congratulations Katiepops- I didn’t realise you were there as well. Isn’t it a great t-shirt too - I’m showing mine off at parkrun next week. Maybe not the medal though. 😂

I teach special ed. So I don’t need to be too smart at work, so I wore it today! Didn’t wear the medal though. People might think I was nuts.😂😂

Strange isn’t it? We possibly ran past each other or alongside and didn’t know it!

Well if you ever do Southsea parkrun, do let me know. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Will do. About time I tried a bit of Parkrun tourism and Southsea seems nice and flat. Unlike my local one in the Chiltern hills!😂
