Getting high on my own supply 💥

[sparky66]

I'm so pleased to have managed a 10k this morning, after 3 weeks of illness and only managing a couple of workouts and a couple of runs..

I felt much better on today's run and took the distance to 10K ..

I'm way behind on my HM training,but have learned to be patient 🙏

When I'm ready 😁

But ooh how wonderful it was to feel that 'runners high' when I finished..ooh how I missed that buzz 💪🤩

And a badge for my efforts 💥made my day 😁🏃‍♀️

Happy Running all 🙌🏃‍♀️🏃

Well done sparky, a surprise badge is always welcome. Unfortunately I’m doing my 10k on the 18th so I won’t get one.

Doesn't really matter, 10K is 10K 😁Hope it's a good run for you on the 18th 🤩

Sorry about your recent 3 weeks of illness Caroline, I am so glad that you are better now and well done on running that 10K, you will soon be back on that half marathon training plan, that's a lovely badge you got for running that 10K.

On Wednesday I ran my 100th (not) parkrun, when I got home behind the door was a package containing my second London Vitality Virtual 10,000 🥉 medal and a T Shirt 👚 I will wear the T Shirt at parkrun tomorrow.

Enjoy wearing your lovely new t-shirt 😁👏

Ah well done Sparky! You’ve got your spark back. That’s brilliant seeing as you were on the bench there for a while. I’m guessing the new shoes are doing their job too 😊. And you can’t beat that runner’s high! Hurrah Soarky! 😊😊😊

[sparky66 Half Marathon in reply to Frenc]

Thanks Frenc 😊I'm so glad to be back out 🙏

Hope those antibiotics are helping your toothache!

My foot was actually a bit numb nearer the end of my run, so I'm wondering if it's actually a problem with my foot 🙄

Will work it out in the next few runs..

Are you going to go for your HM sometime soon?

You've just about got it in the bag 🏃‍♀️💪💥

[Frenc Half Marathon in reply to sparky66]

I bet you’re glad to be back out! It’s just so good to be outside after a break 😁. Antibiotics not kicking in yet, please let it happen soon!

Hoping to do a HM Sunday week - just don’t know where to go. Working out a 21.1k route isn’t as easy as it sounds 🤣, don’t want it too hilly, but don’t want to be anywhere busy.

Hopefully your foot just needs to settle into the new shoes. I still have a bit of foot trouble on the odd occasion from badly fitting shoes - must be from over a year ago now, but generally it behaves so with a bit of luck so will yours. 😊

[sparky66 Half Marathon in reply to Frenc]

I will see how I get on through next week then... I might run SOME of the way with you 😜

[GoGo_JoJo Ultramarathon]

Yes! That's what it's all about 👍🏻😁

Well done Sparky!!!

[Decker Ultramarathon]

Great work Sparky. Those badges are satisfying aren’t they? 🙂 Hope your foot settles down soon too.

[sparky66 Half Marathon in reply to Decker]

Thanks Decker 😊Yeah they're great, especially on a weekend when lazing in bed is my first thought of the morning 😜

[Beatlesforever]

Yay well done! 💪💥 Good luck with the rest of your HM training when you're ready for it 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[sparky66 Half Marathon in reply to Beatlesforever]

Thanks Beatles... Hope your running well ☺️

[Beatlesforever in reply to sparky66]

Thanks, I went out yesterday for my first run in two weeks! Only 3k but it was nice to be out and about 👍☺️

[SueAppleRun 10 Miles]

Well done, strong legs and runners high, perfect
