Forgive me VRB's for I have sinned 🙏

[AliHC]

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! 😔

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

It didn't feel any faster than usual!? 🤔It just felt good!? 🙄

I'm kicking myself a little bit because I didn't run an extra 0.6k to make the 21k 😖😩😧😠 Aggggh! 🤣 Maybe that's my punishment!?

I promise not to run tomorrow 😉

And finally... Just want to say a huge THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart to everyone for your support and kindness ❤️

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...👏👏👏🙂

[AliHC Marathon in reply to Beachcomber66]

🤣Thank you for not judging Beachcomber66 🙏

And well done with your PB! Good to hear you're off the IC too! x

[Beachcomber66 Administrator Half Marathon in reply to AliHC]

Err... slightly back on it again 🙄. Just a little set back though 🤞

[AliHC Marathon in reply to Beachcomber66]

Oh good! Everything crossed for you 🤞

I was about to send you off to the naughty step 🧐 but but but then Ms Speedy I noticed your time yikes......... I salute you AliHc 🏆

[AliHC Marathon in reply to Hidden]

Thank you 🙏 😇

Today's route was certainly easier than the other one! No dilly dallying, just got in with it! x

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon]

Wow! That's amazing! A whole hour quicker than the last HM and just two days later!!! it wasn't even flat! Phenomenal 🙂

[AliHC Marathon in reply to linda9389]

Thank you linda9389 🙏

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

[AliHC Marathon in reply to cheekychipmunks]

🤣 Thank you cheekychipmunks 🙏

I guess I had a lot of pent-up emotion? 😩

Wowsers! I can’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 distance😳 Fantastic running 💥💥👏👏

[AliHC Marathon in reply to Sandie1961]

Thank you Sandie1961 🙏

After my first HM in March I also felt like that! Really heavy legs! Knackered 😩 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 😬 Also there was no pressure to achieve, so maybe that has something to do with it? xxx

[Sandie1961 Half Marathon in reply to AliHC]

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 I’ll end up doing one 😂 Yours was awesome 😎

[AliHC Marathon in reply to Sandie1961]

🤣 Now I think you've just challenged yourself! ❤️

[Sandie1961 Half Marathon in reply to AliHC]

😂🤣😂

[misswobble Marathon]

Holy shiz, what a pace 😁💪👍🌪🔥

Well done. Bet that was fun 😃🏃‍♀️

[AliHC Marathon in reply to misswobble]

Thank you misswobble 🙏

My legs were in a good place yesterday! Felt a bit like Forest Gump 🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️

Now I know what I need to do for the next one 🤣 xxx

[misswobble Marathon]

😃. 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 😁

My Nemesis ran it. I saw her at the start then she evaporated 🤨☹️😁

[AliHC Marathon in reply to misswobble]

10 10 10? what's that then 😊

I like that fact that you've got a Nemesis! Makes you sound like a super hero 🦸🏻‍♂️

[misswobble Marathon]

It’s a 10km race in Endcliffe Park So called because of the date upon which is was first held 😃

[AliHC Marathon in reply to misswobble]

Ah! Well I never! Right on my doorstep and never heard of it! But then again I only stayed running again last July 😊

[Jazzyrunner]

Flippin heck Ali, just seen this, how do you go so fast??!!!! I can’t even do one km at that 😂 Anyway, well done, congrats on your run, even if it was a bit naughty 😉😁xxx
