I guess my couch to 10k app worked as well, because I just ran 10km!

Just over 2 months ago, I posted that I'd ran 5km for the first time in my life >>> My couch to 5k app worked -- I just ran 5 km!!

This morning, in 67 minutes and with no breaks, I ran 10km for the first time in my life.

There was a moment, during the run, when I looked up and saw a harrier gliding above me, and then another just ahead. There were no other people in sight.

I can think of very many animals who would have had a very different emotional response to being in an environment with that ratio of birds of prey,, but for this human, in that moment, it was just beautiful.

A moment I will never forget.


Now,, it's time to rest, before surgery on Thursday :)

@bellbird omg!!!!! 10k !!! You are still inspiring me ?. Just started up again with a “none to run” plan. (For those who need a little more than couch to 5k.) If I could run 10 k ever, it would be a miracle!!! ??? Im good with my 7 minutes for now tho ?. Well done you.

Thank you all, very much :)

Just started up again with a “none to run” plan.

That's great!

Im good with my 7 minutes for now tho ?

If I could run 10 k ever, it would be a miracle!!!

Being able to run 7 minutes, when you've starting out at nothing, is an awesome achievement -- keep at it!
If someone would have told me, this time last year, that I'd be able to run 10km, I probably would've thought that maybe they should be taking my psych meds instead of me :laugh:

I think with a little patience, and a lot of determination, you can do things that you'd have never imagined you'd be able to :hug:
