10 mile PB... kind of

[Tasha99]

I haven’t done a fast timed 10 mile run since Vale of York race April 2019 and I know I’ve improved a lot since then. Today I ran the tortilla chip shaped route with my friend from club who is much faster than me so I had to slow him down 🤣 It was a nice chatty social run but I still managed to take well over 3 minutes off my time so I am pleased with that. Especially since I could’ve gone faster. My friend said I’m not allowed it as a PB as after half a mile he stopped for a toilet break 🙄🤣 But that was his fault not mine and we’d only just started, not like a I was dying near the end or anything. I’m taking it. Kind of.

Thanks! 💪🏽 Will attempt a fast half soon I think. Haven’t done one since May 2019 - Liverpool rock n roll race 🤣

[Hidden in reply to Tasha99]

[Tasha99 Marathon in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Thank you!

[skysue16 Half Marathon]

Oh my, that is fast!! Very well done 👍

[Tasha99 Marathon in reply to skysue16]

I was pleased 😍

Take it! It's undeniably yours. Nice run!!! I'm trying to think why I know Eaglescliffe (pronounced without the 'a' or am I making that up?)... it's going to bug me 😂 I think it must be from when I worked up on Teeside, maybe we stayed there ... off to Eaglescliffe Google hotels 😂😂

[Tasha99 Marathon in reply to linda9389]

There’s Eagles 🦅 cliffe and Egglescliffe (within it really). Oh do let me know! It’s the home of my running club - orchard eagles running club

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Tasha99]

I can't see any hotels ... so I maybe drove through there on the way to Teeside, or perhaps one of my colleagues lived there ... It's a long time ago (over 25 years) so recollections are very hazy. One thing's for sure, I'd never run a step I hadn't been told to, nor even contemplated the idea!!!

[Tasha99 Marathon in reply to linda9389]

There’s the parkmore in eaglescliffe. Whereabouts in Teesside did you work? Although it is in Teesside actually 🤣

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Tasha99]

Oops, sorry! I worked for BASF and we had taken over part of an ICI business at Seal Sands - plastics manufacture (although I understand it may be closing down now?). I was up there on and off for months sorting out the IT transfer. There was a fair bit of alcohol consumed back in the day which may be adding to my hazy recollections!!!

[Tasha99 Marathon in reply to linda9389]

Aha! I think you did tell me this before actually! I knew a couple people who worked there! I bet you even met them! It’s a small world 🌎

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Tasha99]

Amazing. I've been studying google maps to see if any place names ring a bell. I stayed away for acquisition work in all sorts of places so do get confused, but I think the one up there was essentially a pub on a fairly main road, that had rooms in the main building but also had added on a lot of rooms. The food was good, it was clean and the bar was friendly - and compared to the south, drinks were cheap 😀 What's not to like 😎

[Tasha99 Marathon in reply to linda9389]

🤣

[Elfe5 in reply to linda9389]

If you were busy eating out/consuming alcohol I bet you were driven through Egglescliffe & Eaglescliffe to Yarm High Street!! 😁

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Elfe5]

Maybe! I had to put my laptop down last night as it was driving me crazy!!! I thought I'd found it in the Stockton Arms, but the front of the building didn't look right ... ahh well!

[Tasha99 Marathon in reply to linda9389]

Have you looked at the parkmore?

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Tasha99]

Yes - it definitely wasn't a 'proper hotel' like that - the interior was much more like the Stockton Arms (and the name of that definitely rings a bell), and had newly built block of adjoining rooms as well (although it was always nicer to be in the original building).

[Decker Ultramarathon]

Awesome Tasha! Yeah it counts 👍🏼🙂

[Tasha99 Marathon in reply to Decker]

Thank you 😊

[Beachcomber66 Administrator Half Marathon]

Of course it counts as a Pb; would have been faster if he hadn’t slowed you down. Leave him behind next time!! 😂

[Tasha99 Marathon in reply to Beachcomber66]

🤣

It’s because we stopped the watch BC but that’s his fault! I didn’t need to stop after a half mile!

[Beachcomber66 Administrator Half Marathon in reply to Tasha99]

Totally.....surely his mum told him to go before he left home!

[Tasha99 Marathon in reply to Beachcomber66]

🤣

[Jericho2332 Half Marathon]

Well done! I'd certainly claim the PB 👍🏻👍🏻😁

[Tasha99 Marathon in reply to Jericho2332]

Thank you! I will!

[Lookslikejames Marathon]

Amazing time, well done!!!

[Tasha99 Marathon in reply to Lookslikejames]

Thank you! Think I can beat it too 🤞🏽

[Lookslikejames Marathon in reply to Tasha99]

That’s even more amazing! Hopefully I can get there with you at some point, just gotta stick to the programme. Seeing you accomplish this makes it easier for me to carry on being slow 👍🏻

[Tasha99 Marathon in reply to Lookslikejames]

Definitely worked for me!

[Bomoao]

Bravo! Well done, you! 🏇

[Tasha99 Marathon in reply to Bomoao]

Thanks!

[Lizcanrun Half Marathon]

TAKE IT!! 🤣

[Tasha99 Marathon in reply to Lizcanrun]

I will!

[Frenc Half Marathon]

Tasha99, you are a machine! 😀🏃‍♀️👏🏼

[Tasha99 Marathon in reply to Frenc]

😶🤣

[Elfe5]

Definitely take that PB Tasha - that’s quite some “nice, social chatty run”. 👍🏻👏👏👏😄

[Tasha99 Marathon in reply to Elfe5]

Thank you! Hope you’re well Xx

[Elfe5 in reply to Tasha99]

I’m ok thanks Tasha, still very limited by PF, but I can run for 20-30 mins now & seeing a podiatrist - it’s improving very slowly. 😄.

[Tasha99 Marathon in reply to Elfe5]

🤞🏽

[nowster Metric Marathon]

Works for me. You were stopped by circumstances out of your control half a mile into a ten mile run.

[Tasha99 Marathon in reply to nowster]

Cheers!

(My Strava is private I’m afraid - it gives me too much anxiety 😶🤣)

[Tasha99 Marathon in reply to nowster]

Found you on Garmin instead

[David_G Metric Marathon]

I’d definitely count that as a PB Tasha99! 🥇 After all, it wasn’t you that needed the loo break!

Congratulations on your 10 mile PB 👏👏 Time for a celebration I think!🥳🥂🎉

[Tasha99 Marathon in reply to David_G]

Thank you!

[Over62 Half Marathon]

Well done Tasha99 a PB is a PB especially a 10mile one - great job

👍👏🏃🏻‍♀️🏅

[Tasha99 Marathon in reply to Over62]

😊

[Run46 Half Marathon]

Great time, great HR 👏...PBs are few and far between, enjoy it 😊

[Tasha99 Marathon in reply to Run46]

Cheers! 🍷

[Cmoi Marathon]

Fab run Tasha99 , and definitely take that PB!

[Tasha99 Marathon in reply to Cmoi]

Thank you 😊

[Dexy5 10 Miles]

You should definitely take it as a PB Tasha, a brilliant time. UpTheStanley always says I shouldn’t pause my watch if I pop to the loo, but I do, even though I know it can’t happen in a real timed race.

[Buddy34 Half Marathon]

Well done Tasha, great running 👏👏

[Sandie1961 Half Marathon]

A nice chatty social run at that pace. Don’t think I’d have been able to speak at all. Fab run! Definitely leave him behind next time 😂

[Tasha99 Marathon in reply to Sandie1961]

Ha ha thank you
