10miles in the bag 💼

[Over62]

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 👍 that I was doing well and was amazed I’d just run 🏃🏻‍♀️ 10 miles! Made my day! Not only that I arrived home 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 everyone🏃🏻‍♀️😀

An excellent run. 10 miles is a super distance. Well done indeed. The kudos from hubby and comment from your friend are the icing on the cake.

Mastering the drinking will also give you confidence for HM territory too. I know I say it a lot but wow! How far you've come 😃

Thank GTFC, it’s funny to think you have to learn to eat and munch on the run!

Thank you WillowsndSola yes It’s great but I do have to get my brain in a good place for the longer runs!

[SueAppleRun 10 Miles in reply to Over62]

It would take hours and then i would eat and sleep all day but it is something i would like to do one day

[Dexy5 10 Miles]

Sounds an excellent run Over62. There’s nothing like it when someone notices the difference our running has made. 😃

Very true Dexy5

Wow! Great work Over62. I love the "Before I knew it I was at 16.1"! That is phenomenal. It wasn't a hard slog, you're just doing your thing, achieving great distances. You should be very pleased and proud of yourself 👏👏👏
