Forgive me VRB's for I have sinned ๐Ÿ™

I did a HM distance 2 days ago and SHOULD have done a gentle 3k recovery run today, but......

I felt so good that I just got my head down and ran 20.4k....SORRY! ๐Ÿ˜”

DOUBLE SORRY..... because it was REALLY FAST!?

It didn't feel any faster than usual!? ๐Ÿค”It just felt good!? ๐Ÿ™„

I'm kicking myself a little bit because I didn't run an extra 0.6k to make the 21k ๐Ÿ˜–๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿ˜ง๐Ÿ˜  Aggggh! ๐Ÿคฃ Maybe that's my punishment!?

I promise not to run tomorrow ๐Ÿ˜‰

And finally... Just want to say a huge THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart to everyone for your support and kindness โค๏ธ

Amazing running AliHC. No wagging finger from me after running a near PB in the 1k challenge straight off the IC !! Sometimes the passion just bypasses the brain...๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ™‚

Thank you linda9389 ๐Ÿ™

It wasn't flat, but it was a darn sight flatter than the first one and the last one i did ๐Ÿ˜‚! I'm not entirely sure what came over me today, but I'm not going to question it ๐Ÿคฃ x

Wowsers! I canโ€™t get anywhere that pace for even 1k never mind 20 and I needed nearly a week after my HM before I could run any real distance๐Ÿ˜ณ Fantastic running ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

Thank you Sandie1961 ๐Ÿ™

After my first HM in March I also felt like that! Really heavy legs! Knackered ๐Ÿ˜ฉ The second one I did was incredibly hard in comparison to the first, but the next day I felt amazing! The third one 2 days later happened by accident. It was meant to be a recovery run, but I just felt like I wanted to keep going! I could tell the pace was quicker, but unaware of by how much. I didn't stop at all and didn't noticably slow down too much.

I had a lot of pent up emotion going on and I felt like I was gritting my teeth and running it out ๐Ÿ˜ฌ Also there was no pressure to achieve, so maybe that has something to do with it? xxx

After my first, I still have no desire to do another one, but like most of my predictions, I would imagine someone will throw out the challenge and Iโ€™ll end up doing one ๐Ÿ˜‚ Yours was awesome ๐Ÿ˜Ž

๐Ÿ˜ƒ. Do you race the Ten Ten Ten? I did it last year for the first time. Loved it. It was as wet as could be though. Utter mud fest ๐Ÿ˜

My Nemesis ran it. I saw her at the start then she evaporated ๐Ÿคจโ˜น๏ธ๐Ÿ˜
