Sunday Run-day!🙂☀️

[Sandraj39]

Not the best night’s sleep last night. For some reason I woke frequently, plotting the route for todays long run in my head!🤷🏼‍♀️ I had decided I would stick to the pavements and roads today following some tough muddy runs recently; today was about the long, slow run, so no need to add to this with the additional challenge of remaining upright on the trails!😂

It was lovely and mild out and so nice to see the sunshine at times too. 🌤 Lots of other runners and walkers out as well but quiet roads meant it was easy to give a little space to people too.

I had initially planned on running a 14k but ended up completing 10 miles (although I couldn’t quite remember what that was in kms so actually plodded on to 16.2k just to make sure!)

I felt the last few k in my legs and certainly slowed up towards the end (🐢🙂) but job done and feeling good now - looking forward to a bacon butty for lunch! I think I earned it!👍🙂

Well done Sandraj39 that’s a great effort! Well done for hanging in there and keeping going👏👏 You certainly earned that bacon butty! 😋 I’m due to do a 16K run on my HM plan this coming Wednesday. I’m going to make sure I go just a little bit further too, just to make sure I can call it another 10 miler!😀👍

Well done Sandraj. I had brain fade on one (nearly) 10 mile run and stopped at 16:01k instead of 16:10 ! 🙄

Good job it wasn’t a Pb!!

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon]

You definitely earned it, hope it was tasty! It's great when you just don't want to stop, you know you've got it right 😊

[Sandraj39 Half Marathon in reply to linda9389]

...oh, don’t get me wrong - stopping was good!😂

Fantastic Sandra! Yes it’s always best to run that tiny bit too far than a tiny bit not far enough isn’t it, especially on the longer distances. It shouldn’t matter - but it really does! 😅

Wel

[Dexy5 10 Miles]

Well done on your 10 miles Sandra , you are going great. Yes it’s always good to make sure you get to that milestone. I always go a little bit further than the full km as Garmin downloads to Strava come in a bit short.

Thanks Dexy5 !🙂

Sounds like a lovely one Sandra. It’s funny how the route planning stay with you at night. I was doing the same thing last night
