My first sub 2 HR 10 Miler 😁

Woke up to a beautiful morning,and had been waiting for such a morning to get a longer run done β˜€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Paced myself at 7.30 m /K or there abouts all the way around...

I ran my favourite route around the lake.. it's roughly 1.5 K a lap so had to lap it 10 times to reach the distance,πŸ˜‚ but it really was beautiful with all the trees changing to Autumn colours..with the mist over the lake and the swans gliding, birds flying and lots of smiling dog walkers, more walkers and runners, nodding and enjoying the morning β˜€οΈ

I had a new play list so that really helped pass the K,s away 🎢🎡🎧

Really chuffed with my time under two hours..I actually knocked just under 5mins off my personal best! πŸ‘πŸ‘

Great running week for me this week after my Run Chester Zoo race on Sunday 😁

Nearly my first year Runniversary and I couldn't be more pleased with all I've achieved this year πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Happy Running all πŸ™ŒπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒ

Thank you 😊Yes I think I can say I've been dedicated.. πŸ˜ƒ but still loving it so it's not so tough to keep motivated πŸ€—

What a pace... I hope to reach my first 10 miler in roughly a month or so, but it will be a tad (BIG tad) slower πŸ˜‚

I am keeping very well thank you Caroline, I have had a busy day, at 7.30 this morning I ran my 73rd (not) parkrun, in the afternoon I walked 4K with my bike to the cycle repair shop as the brakes on my bike did not work, when I told the man in the shop what the problem was he told me that he would put new brakes on the bike and told me to come back in a hour, so I went another 5K 1 hour walk, got back to the shop, paid the man Β£20 for the new brakes and then cycled 4K back home, so I have had quite a busy day, running, walking and cycling, I don't often do all those 3 things in the same day. 😊 πŸƒπŸΎ 🚢 🚲
