First 10 Miles in a While 🤩

[Frenc]

10 miles is one of my fave distances so I really enjoyed that! Mind you, it’s the first time in ages I’ve done a flattish route and in all honesty I actually missed the hills, mad I know 🤣! I think it’s because the route I did today is a bit more urban and I didn’t get all of the amazing views I’ve been treated to recently, and also the Water Meadows was heaving. It was gazelle central this morning. But heck who cares, I feel fab now 😃.

I’ve crawled around the floor for a bit stretching making groaning noises and am now having a lovely cup of coffee.

Have a smashing day everyone! 😊😊😊

Good run for you today Frenc, by saying "gazelle central" I suppose you saw a lot of fast runners, some overtaking you.

I haven't ran 10 miles/16K for a few months, but that time you ran it in is around the same time as I have ran 10 miles, I have run 5/10 mile runs, times vary from 1 hour 1 minute to 1 hour 8 minutes, come Spring I will increase my runs up to 10K and maybe 10 miles again, enjoy the rest of the day 😊 🏃🏾

[Frenc Half Marathon in reply to AlMorr]

Ah thank you 😊. I was pleased to get out there and do it. And yes, lots of fast folk out there today. I saw 2 lads who I think were brothers aged about 12 and 13 bombing it up a hill! They were covered in mud and obviously having a great time. You have a good rest of the day too.

That sounds lovely, making me think 10 miles should be my next aim

[Frenc Half Marathon in reply to SueAppleRun]

Thank you. You should go for it! I enjoy it because it feels like an achievement but it doesn’t completely wipe me out 😊.

[SueAppleRun 10 Miles in reply to Frenc]

I may just go from 10k to 11k and so on as spring is coming it’ll give me something to aim for

[AlMorr Half Marathon in reply to SueAppleRun]

I am sure you you can do it, just gradually increase the distance you run, say by 500 metres a week.

[GailXrunning 10 Miles]

Ooo, that run sounded very good for the soul. 🙌 I trust you are not still doing those animal impressions on the floor!?!😉

[Frenc Half Marathon in reply to GailXrunning]

Thank you! Not quite, I was sounding a bit like a weird groany thing earlier 🤣.

[GailXrunning 10 Miles in reply to Frenc]

😂 Hope it’s now transformed into a nice hum.

[Frenc Half Marathon in reply to GailXrunning]

Ha ha yes, a hum doesn’t sound quite so bizarre 😃.

Great 10 miles there Kate ! Sounds like it was fun also 😁

Well done 👍

[Frenc Half Marathon in reply to Instructor57]

Thanks Ian. It was fun in that muttering to yourself like a mad person way! Thought I’d be really stiff today, but actually I’m not too bad hurrah 😃.

[Instructor57 in reply to Frenc]

Haha, glad your feeling ok today 😁👍

[misswobble Marathon]

I thought you literally meant gazelles. In Winchester! 🤷‍♀️😁

Doh ☺️ It’s after midnight 🙈

[Frenc Half Marathon in reply to misswobble]

Lol misswobble! Just the 2 legged kind I’m afraid 🤣. Unless there’d been a breakout at the nearby Marwell Zoo. Mind you it would be quite fun to see some of their Red Pandas lolling around in the trees 😃.

[misswobble Marathon in reply to Frenc]

I saw some of those recently. Beautiful but messy. They were the children’s favourite 😍

[Hidden]

You are doing very well Frenc! Hope you enjoyed that cup of coffee, you definitely deserved it!

[Frenc Half Marathon in reply to Hidden]

The coffee was lovely. It’s one of my fave things to do - feet up and a cup of coffee after a run! 😊

[GTFC Marathon]

Always a brilliant distance to run! Well done 👏 🏅

[Frenc Half Marathon in reply to GTFC]

Thanking you! 😊😊😊

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon]

Fabulous. I'm looking forward to getting back to ten miles 😊

[Frenc Half Marathon in reply to linda9389]

Hurrah Linda! I0 miles is fun 🤩😱. Mind you I was a bit stiff afterwards 🤣.
