10miles in the bag πŸ’Ό

Well the Friday long run is here again, it seems to come around so quickly. Listening to the weather forecast last night I was expecting a slight frost and possibly a little fog. So dressing accordingly I put a light weight hat on over my headband and a thick pair of fingerless gloves over my lightweight full gloves and stepped outside - no frost and no fog so my concern is that I may be overdressed!

Carried on as it was still a little fresh.

I ran at a steady pace throughout the run and feeling comfortable and enjoyed combining my normal route with the new part that I tried out last week. I’m also getting better at taking in water for the first hour and a small amount of tailwind for the second hour, I’m pleased to be mastering drinking whilst running. Before I knew it I was at 16.1 but carried on a little further to save me walking it before my 5min warm down where I met a near neighbour who I’d not seen for some time, she said she didn’t recognize me at first due to the weight loss but gave me the thumbs up πŸ‘ that I was doing well and was amazed I’d just run πŸƒπŸ»β€β™€οΈ 10 miles! Made my day! Not only that I arrived hone to find my husband had already given me Kudos on Strava - that was quick off the mark! All in all a lovely run and with 10 miles in the bag for LEJOG04 and my 10miles on target for my second half marathon in a few weeks it was a lovely morning run to set up the day ahead.

Happy running everyoneπŸƒπŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ˜€

Respect to you, especially if you're in your 60's. Really encouraging to read of your success on all levels and definitely so if running with a high number on your back! Best wishes ☺️.

Thank you yes I’m definitely in my early 60’s I have just kept setting small incremental targets over the past 12 months since completing couch to 5k and found myself completing a half marathon a few weeks ago! No one is more amazed than me! Happy running
