Local Landmarks 10K complete!

[David_G]

Hi all, I’m pleased to say I finished the Local Landmarks 10K (a spin-off from the London Landmarks HM) this morning at Bognor Regis.

The wind was very strong so I had to walk in places, and shingle had been thrown onto the promenade by storm Eunice making for some tricky conditions underfoot. Overall, I’m pleased to have done it and it’s given me a great sense of achievement!

Take care of yourself if you’re running today, it’s a bit windy!😳

Congratulations to you David G on completing the Local Landmarks 10K at Bognor Regis in challenging conditions, well done, that photo of the big puddles is fairly typical of paths all over the UK, the bad news is that there is another named storm on the way named Storm Franklin, once again congratulations on your run today. 😊 🏃🏾

Thanks AlMorr yes, I’m bracing myself for storm Franklin!😳 It doesn’t look to be quite as windy as Eunice was, but you never know. 🤞

Well done David. Testing conditions for you. Although Eunice has gone it is still extremely windy and the high spring tides are not helping. You can now relax.

Thanks Dexy5 I intend to do exactly that! 😄

That’s brave, we haven’t ventured near the sea front! Congratulations on completing, even in this weather

Thanks SueAppleRun I feel strangely pleased with how it went!

Yes you must do, I want to go on an adventure but Willow won’t let me out the door in case I get blown away, so there’s a little run envy from me 😀

[AlMorr Half Marathon in reply to SueAppleRun]

Lol Sola, as I am sure you are light and not overweight, Willow is not letting you outside incase you are blown away, goodness knows where you might end up, Holland😂, stay inside during this stormy weather, stay safe.

Thanks Al 😀

Nice one! Any fancy medals to show off? (I’m getting medal-withdrawal-symptoms, as the rowing community is somehow devoid of medals)

[David_G Metric Marathon in reply to CBDB]

Thanks CBDB I have to upload evidence of the 10K first, before they send the medals out🏅 I’ve found out since I ran this morning that the run can be done anytime before next weekend!🤣

Well done to you David! You did brilliantly running 10K in those conditions 💪

[David_G Metric Marathon in reply to Irishprincess]

Thanks Irishprincess I really enjoyed it, strangely! 😃

[JonathanP 10 Miles]

Well done David! That shingle looks treacherous!

[David_G Metric Marathon in reply to JonathanP]

Thanks JonathanP 👍 It was a bit difficult at times, so I just slowed to a walk in places!

[TailChaser Marathon]

Well done David, it’s quite a thing to be going out in these conditions at the moment. Glad you got through it ok, it’s really worth doing to see how you get on in it. 👏👏👏

[roseabi Ultramarathon]

Well done, David!!! xxx

[misswobble Marathon]

Well done man ✊😀✊

Tricky running conditions for sure but you nailed it 🙂

I’ve run in snow on Morecambe seafront 🥶. Fun though. It’s elemental I guess. Or something 🤷‍♀️😀

[David_G Metric Marathon in reply to misswobble]

Thanks misswobble it’s a run I’ll remember for a long time! The medal arrived this morning and I’m pleased with it 😀👍
