I just went for a run (have been running regularly for the last couple of months) and it was a lovely evening and my legs just kept going and I did 8k, then 9k and I carried on and did 10k. This is a huge achievement for me and something I never thought I'd be able to do. Feel a bit wobbly now but I am so proud of myself.
Am going to eat a lot of pasta and meatballs now

Fantastic!!
It's the best feeling ever, I think, after completing a run. 10K is a really good distance, too. I am doing the Great North Run in September for Bloodwise, and am in training for that at the moment. I'm actually enjoying the training, much to my surprise, and being able to eat whatever takes my fancy, without gaining an ounce, is an added bonus.

Ah thank you all. I needed to tell people who would join in with my excitement. I think it helps when you have a bit of a break and then suddenly your legs have grown wings. I last ran on Monday and did 6k.
I may do some more stretches now in front of Eurovision.

Go you! You've reached my goal. I've only reached the half way point so far.
