HU Spring 10k Event

[skysue16]

Did it! Beautiful morning, sun out, slight breeze, nice shade down my usual old railway line route…..

My last 10k was in September 2023!!! So this run was going to be slow, but who cares 😂 At my usual turn around point at about 5k I decided to continue. It is months and months since I last did this route. It goes along lanes, through a picturesque village, (complete with ‘chocolate box’ cottages), up a very steep hill (yes I did ‘run’ up it!) then back down to join the original route. One advantage of hills is the views 👍 My runs with Squiggy are always a bit of stop and start because I have to keep putting him on/off the lead depending on livestock. Today I had an extra breather as the cows crossed the track, very slowly.

The last 2k was a bit of a struggle, I tried to speed up a bit but to no avail! The only fast parts of today’s run involved Squiggy pulling to catch up passing cars, silly doggie 😂

Now then…..maybe a 🥇🤔 haven’t had one of those in quite a while!

That sounds and looks beautiful 😍 Dogs always find the water don't they? 🤣

Well Done skysue16 and Squiggy! The HU 10 k has been a great way of pushing us a bit, hasn’t it? I do love a run on a disused railway line but it sounds like you added some hill work too. Brilliant and you definitely deserve a medal.

Congratulations Sue, a lovely 10 k run, you earned that medal in the last 2k by the sound of it!

Huge well done

🏃‍♀️👌xxx

[skysue16 Half Marathon in reply to Bluebirdrunner]

😂 yes, it was a bit of a slog! Most of my runs tend to be 6-8k, and not being very fit at the moment I really noticed the extra 😬

Well done! First 10km after a significant gap does feel such an achievement doesn't it? Congratulations! 😊🏃🏻‍♀️👏🏁🏃‍♀️🎉

Thank you very much 😀

Well done skysue; that was a terrific run. I have never been able to manage running and dog control, although, in fairness Molly is a bit bigger/ heavier than squiggy! You definitely deserve a 🥇🙂

[skysue16 Half Marathon in reply to Beachcomber66]

Molly is huge by comparison! Squiggy is a good running pal now and even follows verbal directions ‘left, left and ‘this way’ (right), but when we were learning it was quite tricky! I have fallen over him a few times….when he suddenly stopped to sniff! 😬🤕

[Beachcomber66 Administrator Half Marathon in reply to skysue16]

Molly is 36 Kilos ….low centre of gravity! She goes where she wants to.🙂…unless I ask her nicely.
