Glorious morning... blue skies and green trees all the way...

Foot...non-twinging...started the first 5K with my favourite uphill ... and along the levels at the top...

Done and dusted in exactly the same time as I did my first10K... I am a good few years older now, so that will do me just fine...

Running with so, so many friends from the forums was superb... thank you so much Admin' Team.... you made my day!

Yes I have done it Oldfloss, my report is on the Bridge 210K forum as I ran a 10K.This morning I ran my 50th 10K in a time of 1:12:43, the weather was dry but a bit humid, temperature 13C, just as well I ran it this morning as that rain arrived at 2.30pm, quite heavy around 3 with a rumble of thunder, it was a nice run Floss, thanks for asking ✔️✔️👍

AlMorrHalf Marathon in reply toOldfloss

I had breakfast at 6.30, watched 15 minutes news and the weather forecast for 20 minutes then got ready for the run, I finished the run around 5 to 9, got home, had a bath and then ate my usual chocolate ice cream swirl around 9.35, yummy 😋

OldflossAdministrator in reply toBluebirdrunner

I certainly did.... but I really made sure that I and the twinge felt ready... had I suffered as Friday, I would have stopped...

But... as it was, it turned out so well. I was warmer than I expected and the last two K felt harder... and , as I ran the last K, I imagined you just around the last corner, keeping me going and cheering me in... honestly, you really were there xxx

Oldfloss profile image
OldflossAdministrator in reply tolinda9389

Honestly? Stand feet slightly apart..bend knees gently ..arms hanging loosely...leaning slightly forward then.. 1,2,3...straighten up, throwing arms skyward and erupt upwards !!!😀Photo please! X

linda9389AdministratorMarathon in reply toOldfloss

Haha! Maybe I'll give it a go! I remember trying to jump up onto a step from a standing position, probably 5 years ago and I simply couldn't. Maybe up into free air would be easier ... watch this space 😍😍😍
