First 10 Miles in a While 🀩

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 πŸ˜ƒ.

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 😊 πŸƒπŸΎ

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

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

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

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

Ooo, that run sounded very good for the soul. πŸ™Œ I trust you are not still doing those animal impressions on the floor!?!πŸ˜‰

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

πŸ˜‚ Hope it’s now transformed into a nice hum.

Ha ha yes, a hum doesn’t sound quite so bizarre πŸ˜ƒ.

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 πŸ˜ƒ.

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 πŸ˜ƒ.

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

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

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