That was a test of endurance πŸ’ͺ

I had wanted to reach my 100K by end of November today.. so I had planned to run a 10K on Saturday and a 10K today.. but we had snowfall Friday and it was too Icy to run ❄️

So I would need to Run 20K today 😳

But knowing I don't have the time today, have visitors coming 😁

... I had my covid booster yesterday..so didn't know what to expect this morning.. woke up feeling fine, just a dead arm.. πŸ€ͺ

The weather was windy and raining..and i really struggled in my head.. will I just do a workout instead..grr..come on Caroline just get your kit in and get out!! (Bloomin gremlins) 😀

Set out .. feeling pleased with myself 😁

But I'd only got 2K in when I knew it was going to be a tough run, felt really slow, heavy legs.. tired.. but I kept going telling myself slow is fine if I can just do a wee 5K that will do..πŸ™„.. it really didn't get much easier..but my determination kicked in knowing I wouldn't be happy with only a 5..so plodded along for a slow but satisfying 10K πŸ’ͺ

I didn't manage my 100K but I'm so pleased those gremlins didn't stop me getting out and I feel like I conquered the challenge for the day πŸ‘πŸ˜‚

Love the feeling getting back home feeling like a champ πŸ’ͺπŸ˜‚

Happy Running all πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸŒŸ

Congratulations Caroline on running 90K in the month of November, you as they say 'listened to your body' and ran an extra 5K today over and above the 5K that you decided to do when you started running this morning, well done.

Ah well done Soarky! You didn’t stop after 2k and that’s brilliant. I’ve had a few runs like that lately, all we can do is be a champ regardless. All the best 😊😊😊.

Yup still getting out there! Just posting a bit less for now. Mind you, I have my eye on this nasty route which I’m trying to gee myself up for. Have been doing this new stretching regime and I haven’t reaped the benefits yet, I think this has affected my runs a bit. Always something, eh?! Take care 😊.
