Ageas Bowl 10k in the warm sunshine

[Mudita11]

What a lovely day for a run that started and finished at the home of Hampshire cricket. Arrived quite early and met the lovely @aliboo70. I also bumped in to a few runners I know from local parkruns so lots of nattering before the run began!

The weather was amazing for October - warm sunshine. I’m sort of hoping it’s not quite as warm for next week’s GSR though, as that’s a longer distance 🤞🏼.

As aliboo70 ’s report says, the two of us ran much of the race alongside each other and only finished slightly apart - amazing as she was not 100% on form.

Coffee and more chats afterwards then home I went, lovely bling and t-shirt in hand, a long soak in a hot bath, now exhausted 😂 but happy.

🙂 more bling in the cabinet Mudita11 and it sounds like the perfect race and a great warm up for the GSR. Could be a pb run 🙂.

[Mudita11 Half Marathon in reply to Beachcomber66]

You never know! Hope I improve on last year’s time and I don’t care by how much 🤣

[Beachcomber66 Administrator Half Marathon in reply to Mudita11]

Weather, particularly wind strength, seems to be the main issue. Dexy5 said so, so it will be right 🙂

[Mudita11 Half Marathon in reply to Beachcomber66]

Absolutely 👍🏻 😃

Well done on your 10k Mudita11 and lovely bling!😍🏅

Hope all goes well next weekend for the GSR. Probably my favourite race but I shall be watching from the sidelines this year as I am still recovering from an injury. Hubby and eldest son will be running it however and I know there are always quite a few HealthUnlocked runners too!👏🏃‍♀️🏃🏾‍♂️👍

[Mudita11 Half Marathon in reply to Sandraj39]

[Dexy5 10 Miles]

Well done Mudita11 , I was thinking of you as I ran in Portsmouth this morning, it was so warm and I only did 5k. I understand it will be a few degrees cooler next Sunday with a light northerly breeze, so just perfect. I think vests and shorts might be on!

Super that you got to meet Aliboo and Kenny at the run today too.

I love your cricket ball medal !

[Mudita11 Half Marathon in reply to Dexy5]

Thanks Dexy. Good news re the weather. I’ve got a GSR skort for the occasion 😃 and I can’t wait. I’m on a countdown to the weekend x

[Dexy5 10 Miles in reply to Mudita11]

You are one of the few to be race ready - you will be doing it for the team (in a skort featuring swans and a spinnaker tower no doubt) 😂

[Mudita11 Half Marathon in reply to Dexy5]

Yes it’s very colourful to say the least 🤣🤣
