My HUH done and dusted!

[Elliedot01]

Well I did it, yesterday when the weather was perfect, pleased I did as the weather in my corner of Wales is less than perfect today.

I went out at 9.00 having chosen my route, a hilly one to make the most of our amazing scenery. As I mentioned the weather was perfect, I got out with less faffing than normal and enjoyed most of it, except for the emergency loo stop at a handily place public loo in one of the villages (you don’t need more details on that though). The loo stop came at 16 km and rather put me off my stride but no worries, just after this I was struggling up a hill and got shouted at by a cyclist coming the the other direction to “look up”, he was only being useful and trying to stop me from being run over, however he might have smiled at the same time!

I found my stride again and carried on, all good but I can’t pretend the final 2 km were pretty. I got home, did my yoga warm down, had a lovely soak in the bath and watched the Grand Prix qualifiying. Hubby cooked super Indian feast for supper so all in all It was a good day.

Well done to all those who have done either the 1/2 or the 10k, and thank you to the group, I don’t post often but I look and take inspiration from you all every sing day.

Good run, Ellie, and great report. But didn’t you run much further than a half marathon? Looks like more than 23K there!

[Elliedot01 Half Marathon in reply to Stephen_UK]

I did run the extra, partly because I was paranoid at missing the correct total and partly because it was the route I wanted to complete.

[Stephen_UK Half Marathon in reply to Elliedot01]

That’s really impressive!

Congratulations on completing your HU Half Marathon, well done 😀 🏃🏾 1,399 calories is a lot. 😊

[Elliedot01 Half Marathon in reply to AlMorr]

Congratulations it sounds like a wonderful route. Very helpful that they're was a handy loo open 😊

[Elliedot01 Half Marathon]

Yes v lucky, not sure what to do about tummy troubles on longer routes. Well I do know but the other options are less, shall we say “convenient”. 😂

[Sandraj39 Half Marathon]

Well done Elliedot01 - that’s a very generous HM distance too! 👏👏🙂

[Elliedot01 Half Marathon in reply to Sandraj39]

I know, I wanted to be sure, and that was just the route I had devised. Really good feeling to get the run done! Thank you...

Well done Elliedot, especially adding the extra bit on. I stopped back on 21.10 today, my legs didn’t want to go a single extra step! 😅

[misswobble Marathon in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Mine neither! They know when they’ve had enough 😃

[misswobble Marathon]

Well done! Sounds a fantastic day all in all. Curry made by someone else. what a way to celebrate 🎉😃🥳🛀🏅

I hope you’re feeling good today. Recover well and happy running 👍🙂

[Elliedot01 Half Marathon]

Feeling good but a slightly niggly right knee had told me to take a couple of days off. I have learnt the long hard way to listen to my body. Hope you are feeling good with no ill effects.

Woohooo 👏🙌🎉🍾 Well done - well run! Big congrats! 🎉🎊🍾🥳 I only did 9k yesterday, but needed 5 hours to get the energy again to do my daily yoga practice! So doubly well done!

[Elliedot01 Half Marathon]

I use yoga because it seems to be the best way to stretch. Just a 10 min practice and nothing very technical!

[Cantstopmenow Half Marathon]

Great run at a great pace. Well done. An Indian feast is a lovely treat too! 🥳👏

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon]

Wow! Congratulations on a brilliant run! That was a half marathon and some more!!! And look at the elevation!!! An absolutely awesome run 👏👏👏

[Elliedot01 Half Marathon]

Thank you, hills are inevitable where I live, I actually enjoy running up and down them!

[Lazyfrog Half Marathon]

Congrats, you did almost 24k in such good time! Amazing😯🥳🥳 I really approve the bath and the Indian cooked by your other half 👌😁
