Another 10K done and dusted 🏃‍♀️😁

Pretty tough feeling today😨

I think I might need one of those weeks where I drop the mileage.. I've done 41K in the last three runs.. just felt my legs heavy today most of the way.. didn't get to the point I usually feel ', comfortable'

But when I finished my time was only 30seconds slower than my 10K PB..

So felt afterwards it was worth it 😁

But I think my next two runs in the week I should just stick to 5Ks..

I've got my holiday next week in Dunoon,so ideally I want to get a nice comfortable long run there in the beautiful Scottish scenery 😁

Added my stats in reply 😊

Happy Running all 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🌟

Enjoy your holiday in Dunoon next week, I am not sure if the present sunny 25C temperatures will continue into next week but the forecast is for dry weather.

That was a good run again for you Caroline, well done, perhaps a few 5Ks will be good for you after those 3/41K runs (altogether) you have run recently.

Sometime in September I intend to run my 4th 10 miles run, I will be running it slowly, at 10 miles I MAY consider if I feel like it to continue to run another 5K to a HM, its a big maybe.

Thanks Alan I've been keeping an eye on the forecast 😊Ooh I'm glad you've decided to do another 10Miles..I had hoped it wouldn't be your last 👍🏃‍♂️👏

Well.. maybe is good enough for now 😊

[AlMorr Half Marathon in reply to sparky66]

The maybe isn't the 10 miles, I will definitely run that, the big maybe is can I continue to run for another 5K to make it a HM, the previous 3/10 mile runs that I have ran have always ended with the feeling that I could not have run another 1K, let alone 5K, so for the next 10 miles run I will run it at the pace you ran your recent Half Marathon which was around 8min/km, certainly not the 6. 26/km that I ran on Saturday at my 18th parkrun.

Dropping mileage every 3/4 weeks refreshes the running bits 🦵🏃‍♀️

Have a fab holiday Sparky and if the photo thing is working here, then lots of photos please 🙂

I know what an old dog is like. When I stayed with my mum a few years ago her old dog had me up several times in the night! My mum never heard him.

Keep the distances short but joyful and run just for you. I hope the holiday does you the world of good 🙂
