Got my finishers medal and t-shirt and wasn’t quite last! πŸ˜…πŸ’ͺπŸ»πŸƒπŸ»β€β™€οΈ #10k #running

@CloudsGoBy Yay! πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ…

Well done you! πŸ™‚

@aroundthehills I tell you what - it was pretty hairy towards the end where the half marathon route overlapped again. I nearly got knocked over a couple of times by very fast runners powering to the finish. A bit soul destroying when you know they’ve done over 13 miles! Did you power past all the shufflers when you did yours? πŸ˜„

@CloudsGoBy πŸ€” Er....?

My "powering to the finish" was hearing the music and drums, out of sight, as I approached the finish and telling myself it was now time to pretend to be a runner for the next 500 metres!

There were some finishers behind me but we were nicely spaced out (physically and mentally! πŸ€ͺ) by then, so nobody spoiled my finish line photo. πŸ˜„πŸ“Έ

@aroundthehills @CloudsGoBy We need to see that photo!!
@pixiepippi @CloudsGoBy Ha! I've just checked my phone and, yes, the evidence is still there. I look rather worn out!
@aroundthehills @CloudsGoBy 🧐 I can't see it yet?
@pixiepippi @CloudsGoBy You'll have to imagine it. Think Chariots of Fire. The slow motion bits.
@aroundthehills πŸ˜… I’d intended to save some energy for a sprint finish but the run in was a bit convoluted so I didn’t dare β€˜peak’ too soon and almost left it too late. Did manage a few minutes though..

@CloudsGoBy Well done. πŸ™‚

Now you can put it behind you and never do owt so daft again. πŸ˜†πŸ˜‚ πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

@CloudsGoBy ...... unless you've caught the running bug now? πŸ€”
@aroundthehills Well said that woman. I muttered β€˜never again’ a few times on the way round instead of the positive mantras I was supposed to do πŸ‘€ I haven’t quite digested the fact that I can now think about other things πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈ
