Spring 10k 💨💨💨

[Sandie1961]

I wimped out of (not) parkrun yesterday, reasoning that I had 10k to run today. Terrible night’s sleep and up at 7.00 (aka yesterday’s 6.00) to make a pot of tea(so much for not being a morning person!), but I wanted to set off at the official 9.30 start time so hung on. A nice mild and dry morning, thank goodness, but 40kph wind 😖 Now, that was ok on my outbound route, which I completed in 31.37, giving me hope of my fastest 10k this year. Then I turned round and felt the full force, which lasted until I got home in 1.06.02. Oh well! RunGo worked perfectly, but I was quite glad I was running in flat old Lincolnshire and didn’t have to make my way up Arthur’s Seat! Thank you VRBs for the shoutouts and to linda9389 for the playlist. Fab! Shake-and-run and I also decided to enter the Nice Work virtual Spring runs, so I’ll get a scrummy medal and a bright yellow t-shirt too. Thanks to Linda and roseabi for organising such a great event. Real life next time 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Thank you 😊 Thankfully the rain has kept away here, but the wind will just not let up!

Woohoo Sandie! But yes that wind! 💨💨💨💨 We’re made of tough stuff us HUers. 💪

Well done Sandie. I hate running into a high wind; give me a downpour any time! Nice G&T and crash out called for!

[Sandie1961 Half Marathon in reply to Beachcomber66]

I think I marginally prefer wind, but there again I don’t have to cope with ‘sea breezes’. Hubby volunteering at the vaccination centre this afternoon, but I’ve poured a nice G&T anyway!

Makes sense 👍🙂

Well done Sandie 💨🏃🏼‍♀️🏅

[Katnap Marathon]

I feel for you! I think we would have really struggled had the wind been against us on the return!

Ooh a medal and t-shirt too! Fantastic!!! Nice Work ran my last real race before Lockdown - a local 10k, oh happy days! Well done for battling that wind and not giving in - extra points for that!!!

[Sandie1961 Half Marathon in reply to linda9389]

They do the Monsal Trail runs, which I should have done on 22 March last year, but ended up doing virtually on New Year’s Eve!

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Sandie1961]

Ahh yes! You're right. Quite the geographical range.

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon]

When I first looked at your post I thought that your time for a 10K was 31.37!!!!!I was all ready to send your details to the British Olympic team 😂

Well done on what was a very windy day 🙂

[Sandie1961 Half Marathon in reply to Irishprincess]

Haha, that would have been quite something!

[Cantstopmenow Half Marathon]

Well done on a great race in less than ideal conditions ! 👏👏😀🏅
