Challenge complete 👏

[sparky66]

Well I took that one to the wire 🤣

Just needed a 10K thismornin to complete 🏃‍♀️

I'm so pleased to have managed this challenge..as I had two weeks where I couldn't run due to chest infection and then an ear infection 😨

Pretty nice run, wasn't too tough and ran easily a lot of the way..

Going to ease off over the weekend as I feel a 'pull' in a tendon on the top inside of my thigh.. it's an old injury that flares up now and then..

So strength and stretching over the next few days then back into the next challenge 💪

Happy Running all 🙌🏃‍♀️🏃

So you didn't need to run a Half Marathon to complete that challenge, congratulations to you Caroline on completing that 300K challenge on running 10K this morning, well done, that means that this year you have completed two 300K challenges, 600K altogether, you deserve a gold medal. enjoy the rest of the day, by the way, I ran my 28th 10K yesterday, on Saturday it will be my 50th parkrun.

With my leg feeling a bit iffy Alan I decided to to 11K on Monday and the remaining 10K today.. gotta be sencible 😜Well done on another 10K

And amazing youl be running your 50 th Parkrun 💪

Youl need to have an extra large ice cream to celebrate 🍦

[AlMorr Half Marathon in reply to sparky66]

I will eat a extra large ice cream when I get back from Dunfermline parkrun on Saturday, its a treble celebration for me on Saturday, 3 years since my first parkrun, Dunfermline parkruns 7th birthday and most of all my 50th parkrun 😊 🏃🏾.

[Frenc Half Marathon]

Hurrah Sparky! Well done - I just about managed this challenge too. Seeing as you had your longest enforced break for those two weeks, you did really well 😊😊😊. Look after that leg though! All the best.

[sparky66 Half Marathon in reply to Frenc]

Thanks Frenc, wtg you too 🏃‍♀️💪😁

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon]

Well done sparky 👏 you did really well given you had two weeks off. What’s next? 🙂

[sparky66 Half Marathon in reply to Irishprincess]

Lol keep on running 😅🤣It's the same challenge on Garmin for the next 3 months IP 😃

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon]

Ooh well done! I'm miles off that one ... literally 😍 Take good care with that niggle, sounds like you know yourself well which will work in your favour 👍

[sparky66 Half Marathon in reply to linda9389]

Thanks Linda, 😁I will take it cautiously, I'd rather run fewer shorter runs than be out on the IC, will rest a few days and take it from there 🙏

Challenges are a good incentive,but not if we're pushing too hard 😏

[Week7 Half Marathon]

That's fantastic- your mileage is so high and you are so consistent -I need to follow your example!!! Inspirational!!

[sparky66 Half Marathon in reply to Week7]

It's quite a tough schedule,but by running mostly 12Ks I can get by on two runs per week... Thanks 🤗

I'm sure you're doing just brilliantly 😅

[Week7 Half Marathon in reply to sparky66]

I'm more of a one 10k 2 5k sort of a gal! So not million miles away on good weeks unless I get a couple of work induced "not got the energy " midweek slumps. I nearly always get out twice its the 3rd And 4th runs that sometimes seem a stretch too far -just realised it hasn't occurred to me to do 2 longer ones per week-maybe something to try after I finish my current Garmin plan.-see I told you that you were an inspiration!!Happy running and look after those twinges.0 🏃‍♀️

Odd! The other monthly challenges for July are now up on Garmin Connect, but there are no "2022 Walking Stage 3" or "2022 Running Stage 3" challenges yet.

[sparky66 Half Marathon in reply to nowster]

I've just checked,and your right Nowster... Strange.. hopefully they will be up at midnight..as there's still time before stage 2 is complete? 🤔

[nowster Metric Marathon in reply to sparky66]

Usually the challenges hang around in the list for at least 12 hours after the GMT time of their expiry, sometimes longer.

[sparky66 Half Marathon in reply to nowster]

They are both up this morning 👍
