10 miles ✅

So today should’ve been 15k on the plan, but I decided in the end that I wanted to set a bench mark time for 10 miles before the virtual race next week! Today’s time was 2:07, so next week the aim is for beat that and maybe aim for sub 2 hours.

Less navigation issues with Komoot this time, today’s disagreement was the suitability of the path it sent me down with 4ft+ nettles 😡 managed to sting my armpit which was REALLY staring to chafe by the 14th km 😖

Still it’s almost a year to the day that I came second to last in a 5K fun run at work and decided to take this running thing more seriously. Who would’ve thought I’d be writing about running 10 miles a year later?! Certainly not me!

Thank you, legs are tingling a bit but makes a change from the usual aches 😂

Next weeks route will hopefully be nettle free!

What fantastic progress!! Well done you. 10 miles is my favourite distance and you did it today in good time too. Great going 👏👏👏

Thank you, for this and all the other encouragement you’ve given me! Will have to try it a few more times to decide if I prefer it to 10K which is my current favourite!

Well done on your marathon yesterday, hope the legs aren’t too sore today!

Wow, amazing! Congratulations on a great milestone - that's such tangible progress, you should be very proud. Would you like a 10 mile badge to wear for a while before your next virtual race?

Tada! Congratulations again!!! I fell victim to the Virtual Runner email this weekend too - 1000km running and 3000 miles cycling, so I will have to stay on my game through the winter, particularly with the cycling 😱
