Well official finishing time 49mins 12 for Great North 10K. Pretty pleased with that. Drenched at the end with a mixture of sweat and water after being drenched by the firman using their hoses to keep everyone cool #slimmingworldinspiration #runningdad #greatnorth10k #greatrun #runningdad #running (at Philadelphia, Tyne and Wear)

Well I finished the @sunderlandcity10k without being stretchered over the finish line or making a fool out of myself. Even more pleased that I did it without stopping. Chuffed with my time 50:17 Which was faster than I was hoping. Also finished 395th out of 2143. #sunderlandsiglion10k #sunderland10k

I was saying to myself today that I was a bit disappointed with my run/pace today. Then I looked at my first run using Strava and compared it to today. Gone from a 7:22km pace to 5:40km pace (done faster but think heat got me today + not fully hydrated). Not bad from 14th March to now. #slimmingworld #10krunnerapp #runningman #runningdad #10k #10ktraining #motivation #improvement #fitness #phillyslimmingworld (at Philadelphia, Tyne and Wear)

Came home to this bad boy today. Feels real now. Arghhhh!!!!! #10krunnerapp #10K #runningdad #slimmingworld #10ktraining #scary #sunderlandsiglion10k (at Philadelphia, Tyne and Wear)

Over the moon got this tonight. Not far to go now. I can just about see the light at the end of the tunnel #slimmingworld #weightlossjourney #phillyslimmingworld #motivation #gettingthere (at Philadelphia, Tyne and Wear)

Certainly not pretty but it’s done. Felt drained. Tried to go up one last hill but by legs didn’t have it in me #runningdad #slimmingworld #fitness #10krunnerapp #10k #10ktraining #knackered (at Philadelphia, Tyne and Wear)

Nice way to spend a morning off. Definitely ready for some dinner now. #runningdad #slimmingworld #10krunnerapp #10K #10ktraining #fitness #motivated #knackerednow #phillyslimmingworld (at Philadelphia, Tyne and Wear)

Speedy carrot and swede chips in the oven for tea tonight. The Mrs @vickiadamson seems to think the are the way forward #slimmingworld #extraeasy #SP #speedfood #phillyslimmingworld #healthyfood #slimmingdad (at Philadelphia, Tyne and Wear)

Went longer this morning. Bit hot but chuffed I got over the 10K mark. According to my watch I did 10K in 53:45 so even more chuffed #runningdad #slimmingworld #motivation #fitness #10krunnerapp #10k #10ktraining (at Philadelphia, Tyne and Wear)

Nice breakfast of mackerel on toast (HXB) 3 egg omelette and ALDI blueberry skyr yoghurt (1.5syns). Nice way to recover from early morning run #slimmingworld #healthybreakfast #extraeasy #phillyslimmingworld (at Philadelphia, Tyne and Wear)

Nice early morning run before it heats up. Wasn’t out for as long this morning but went that little further. Chuffed I managed to push myself a little bit more this morning. Bring on the 10K #runningdad #slimmingworld #motivated #10krunnerapp #10k #10ktraining #phillyslimmingworld (at Philadelphia, Tyne and Wear)

Nice morning run this morning. I will learn not to wear a jacket in this heat. Tad warm. Chuffed to bits a pushed it to go that little bit further #runningdad #slimmingworld #10krunnerapp #10k #10ktraining #fitness #motivated (at Philadelphia, Tyne and Wear)

Nice afternoon run. Decided to change my route to try and keep things exciting. Tad warm this afternoon so wish I didn’t wear my jacket. Ran further today so really pleased. If I keep at this pace hopefully I’ll be able to finish the Sunderland 10K around the hour mark #runningdad #slimmingworld #fitness #motivation #10krunnerapp #10ktraining #10K #slimmingdad (at Philadelphia, Tyne and Wear)

Nice afternoon run. Longest I’ve run so far so really please. Getting closer to that 10K mark #runningdad #slimmingworld #10krunnerapp #10ktraining #running #motivated #fitness (at Philadelphia, Tyne and Wear)

Little bit knackered from my afternoon run. Soooo please I didn’t wear my jacket. I even got the running shorts out to flash my sexy legs. Nearly hitting the 10K #runningdad #slimmingworld #10krunnerapp #10ktraining #fitnessmotivation #fitness #running #knackered (at Philadelphia, Tyne and Wear)

Nice morning run followed by bowl of overnight oats with lots of blueberries and raspberries. Good way to start the day. Just think about the pizza I’m having tonight with lo do pizza #10krunnerapp #runningdad #slimmingworld #slimmingworldinspiration #slimmingworlddad #slimmingdad #10ktraining #overnightoats #extraeasy #swbreakfast (at Philadelphia, Tyne and Wear)
