Covid-19 Run Streak Half Marathon

[David_G]

⚠️🚨Warning - Long post alert 🚨⚠️

Hi lovely running friends, I know I don’t post on here much these days but I’m still very much getting out there🏃‍♂️

I set out this morning to do a slow run as part of my Run Streak (running every day, not running naked!😳) My intention was to keep going for 18km as I don’t work on Wednesday any more and I’ve got more time on my hands🙂

When I got to 18km I was feeling ok so I thought “Why not?” and went for 21.5km to complete a half marathon👍

I’ve eaten sensibly, rested and hydrated properly so I think I’ll celebrate a little this evening🍾🥂🥳

If you’ve read this far, thanks for sticking with me😀 Raise a glass to me later if you feel like it, and I’ll do the same to you!🍷

Great distance and time David_G. My HM was opportunistic. I felt good after 18k so just kept on going. Certainly worthy of a celebratory slurp! 🍺🍷🍷🍷

Thanks Beachcomber66 I’m going to enjoy a drink or two later!🍷😋 Even my mum thinks I deserve it so I wouldn’t want to waste the opportunity!😊

A brilliant achievement!! Well done. You certainly deserve your wine.

Thanks GTFC! I’m going to savour it with a nice pizza I think🍕😋 After all, I used up nearly 2,000 calories on the run according to Garmin, so I’ve got plenty of calories to make up😳 That sounds a plausible excuse to me!😊

Thanks Buddy34. Do you remember the scene in “Ice cold in Alex”? It’s going to be like that!😊🍷😋

Sorry you post me on that one had to look it up🤣

Long post? I don't think so! Very restrained 😍

Really well done. I can't imagine running every day, let alone accidentally throwing a HM into the mix on such a hot day! Amazing. Much respect 👍Enjoy your celebrations 🍾

Thanks linda9389 I’m pleased to report the celebrations were restrained too!🙂👍

Now that's a real shame!

[Sandraj39 Half Marathon]

Cheers Dave! 🍷Fantastic run - enjoy your tipple!😉🙂

[cheekychipmunks Half Marathon]

Wow, fantastic David! You treated that run like a walk in the park, so easy. 🏃🏃🏃🏃 I’m relieved you weren’t streaking it though - I have a feeling we’d all have heard about you on the evening news! 😅😅

Oh, you’re totally wrong on one point however. Your post is a fraction of the length of the tosh that I subject you lovely folk to some of the time! 🥱 😅

Keep running and staying safe. 👍😀👏

That's really good. Congratulations!

[David_G Metric Marathon in reply to Irishprincess]

Thanks Irishprincess, I’m happy to report there were no after effects from my celebration!😊 The legs felt fine this morning too and I’ve been out for a 2km run to continue the Run Streak🏃‍♂️

Fantastic David, well done on your Half Marathon, a distance to be proud of 👏🎉

I know it's been a few days but I've only just seen the post so feel it's only right I have a belated drink later to celebrate your success 😂👍

[David_G Metric Marathon in reply to Run46]

Thanks Run46👍 I’m always up for a drink so I’ll have another celebratory glass of wine later!🍷😋🤣
