Parkwalk

[Valentina98]

Hey Everyone

I've just completed my first parkwalk, I missed running and did want to run it (I might have jogged a tiny bit) and my time was 51:28 which ironically was my first Parkrun time back in the summer, way before we even knew I had any heart issues.

I had my GTN spray, Asthma inhaler and am Aspirin just in case, but I didn't need any of them, I went up to the RD at the start, who I knew from my times volunteering and I made myself known to the tailwalker who I also knew from volunteering and as I nice surprise one of my cardiac rehabilitation nurses who often volunteers at a different parkrun came and volunteered at this one this week so I was well looked after.

I went for coffee after and I brought the nurse and tailwalker a drink who both said I did well today. I'm not big on compliments but I'll take this one. I'm proud of me

Well done!!

Admittedly I slept in today (bad migraine day) so missed it... Next week I'm setting an alarm!

[Valentina98 in reply to Captain_Birdseye]

It was cold, wet and windy this morning I don't blame you for missing it 😃

Hope your migraine goes soon

What a smashing post! And congratulations on what I'm sure will be the first of many, post-diagnosis, park runs!

Well done you and brilliant to hear how much support you got 👏👏👏

[Chinkoflight]

Great, onwards and upwards. It's a great community, good for the soul. And it's all your own effort, quite right to feel proud .

[Silverarrows1]

Congratulations you'll soon be back to you 🙂

congratulations to you.

Well Done!

You must be so pleased you plucked up courage and did it.

Hopefully that has given a huge boost to your confidence. It was a very grey and rainy January day, so getting yourself out there and doing shows massive motivation on your part.

Keep going on the very gradual increases and steady pace. You are on the way back up, do it gently and steadily.

Well done getting out there. I'm glad you had a good day in spite of the wind and the rain.

[Ultramarathon]

Well done. I'm planning to do my first parkwalk next week as I miss parkrun loads (152 parkruns done and 71 volunteers). I'm sure it's going to be an emotional day.

[Valentina98 in reply to Ultramarathon]

That's exactly what I felt I was up to 13 parkruns I hadn't volunteered until my heart attack. It's good run but I missed running. I was so happy I could get back even if it was by walking it.

well done!! X

Over three and a half mph, that is a good pace for reference the army march at 120 paces a minute.That is three mph, you are going to get to the battlefield well before the war starts 😂. Good good going girl.

And 10/10 for the coffee bit always a good idea a brew for the staff keeps them on side.

At this rate you will be running soon.
