So today myself and my daughter achieved the impossible and ran from our home to Southsea seafront

A total of 12.9 km. We always said once we feel confident enough we will run to coffee cup and have a slice of cake lol.

So after we gingerly walked into the sea to calm our calf muscles down which felt amazing then sat in coffee cup but only had a coffee, definitely no cake πŸ˜πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ

1st goal couch to 5k βœ…

2nd goal 5k to 10k βœ…

3rd goal home to coffee cup 13km βœ…

We only started in January so atm well chuffed ☺.

If we can do this anyone can.

Half marathon next maybe ? Who knows!!!

Stay safe everyone

Congratulations! I live in the north of Portsmouth and know that must have been quite a run - but why no cake?!πŸ˜€

Well done Smiffytinks, I thought I recognised that beach!. That is a brilliant distance to run. A shame the Great South Run is cancelled this year or you could have both done that too. Running today cannot be easy. I’m still wondering if I should face the gale force Wind........

Vet good not to have cake. I’d have been replacing calories with no guilt whatsoever 🍰🧁. I hope you didn’t have to run home again.
