HU10k (10 miles done) Report!

[Kevin41]

Late to bed after a ‘Eurovision party’ who knew that was a thing?!?!? A Chinese takeaway and only a couple of drinks finished off my night before preparation for the HU10k.

I opted not to do the full HM as I have the Southend HM coming up in a few weeks and think i need an extra week or two before going the full distance. I did go a bit further than 10k and decided to complete 10 miles instead.

Got up early and faffed a bit but eventually got out the door finishing just after most others would have been starting their runs at 9:30am. I needed to get back in time to shower and change before coaching a kids football game but still wanted to participate today.

I opted to run to the seafront and back. Nice and popular with other runners and nice to wave and say hello to as many as I could.

Pretty much an uneventful run but great to get it done and great to think of so many out today running the HUHM or 10k together (virtually).

[SueAppleRun 10 Miles]

Well done, what a good run too

[Kevin41 Half Marathon in reply to SueAppleRun]

thanks very much, turned out to be a lovely day too

[ChannelRunner2]

Awesome! I had to get my little converter thingie out: 10 miles are 16km that's more than a "bit" further I'd say 😉

[Kevin41 Half Marathon in reply to ChannelRunner2]

😂 yeah, bit is quite possibly an understatement.

[Cantstopmenow Half Marathon]

Great run this morning Kevin. I hope you've got enough energy for football coaching!

[Kevin41 Half Marathon in reply to Cantstopmenow]

we lost 3-0 so anything I can blame is welcome 😂😂😂

[Cantstopmenow Half Marathon in reply to Kevin41]

Nice one Kevin 👍 especially after a party the night before! I hope there was much dancing and singing involved 🕺🎶

[Kevin41 Half Marathon in reply to Irishprincess]

any singing and dancing is too much from me but I’m enthusiastic at least 😂

[Run46 Half Marathon]

Brilliant, congrats on your 10 miles 👏

The fact that you sound so relaxed about today's runs tells me you're more than ready for your upcoming HM 😊

[Kevin41 Half Marathon in reply to Run46]

thanks, I really hope so. Strange how the doubt always creeps in no matter how much preparation we do

[cheekychipmunks Half Marathon]

Fantastic Kevin! You were smart saving your HM distance for your race, and 10 miles was the perfect compromise. 😀🏃‍♂️👏

[Kevin41 Half Marathon in reply to cheekychipmunks]

thank you, I do think so too.

[Runnin-g Half Marathon]

Well done, great run 👏🏽

[Birdlady64]

Brilliant run Kevin. Looking good for the HM next month 👏👌

[Freecloud Marathon]

Very well done Kevin for your run and taking the sensible decision, which is something I should have done 😭. I do think you rubbed it in a bit going on to do a great 10 miler 🤣.

[Kevin41 Half Marathon in reply to Freecloud]

😂

Your HM was excellent despite all of the challenges and unbelievable given the Belfast Marathon was only a couple of weeks ago!

[Freecloud Marathon in reply to Kevin41]

Thanks very much. It was also a bit silly of me to try it so soon. I have to admit to myself that I'm no spring chicken any more and need longer rest 🤣😭. I'm not going to be doing my 10km this week as that will be absolutely stupid! But stupid is as stupid does I guess because I signed up for another HM next Saturday and I guess I'll be hijacking your idea of extending your 10 but to another HM in my case 🤣🤣🤣🤣🙈. Oh if only I was sensible and let it dawn on me that I could have reversed it.....

[Cowladyrunning Marathon]

Well done! Great preparation for your half too!

[Hedgehogs123 Metric Marathon]

well done! I also liked the thought of us doing the HU 10KM or HM together well virtually together!!😂

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon]

Fabulous Kevin. Uneventful runs are to be celebrated! The10 miles today will be great prep for the upcoming half too 💪

[Bluebirdrunner]
