Lovely sunny Parkrun

[davelinks]

Good run at Saturday's PR with nephew, was a warm one, but being well hydrated felt good, just the watch to click on and off at start & finish, and a nice cup of lemon & ginger tea and good chat afterwards.. with nephew telling me he thinks it's another Pb! Which it was, under 24 mins! 🙇.... he works very hard with his running club during the week, so is well deserved.. No such luck for me! But am I bothered?? Not really! 😊

Love the ParkRun! Well done to you and your nephew too. If I could get anywhere near 30 minutes I’d be happy, let alone in the 20s 😂

My nephews 44, he started doing PR nearly 2 years ago and done one just about every week, now completed about 90 runs, when he first started them his times were in the lower 30s. which plateaued for a while at just under 25 mins, then he joined a running club which motivated him to run further and faster to stay with the other runners, which is what he wanted, allthough a tad tiring at first it's paid off..

That’s amazing! I’ve only 78 ParkRuns to do to catch up 🙄

[davelinks Graduate10 in reply to Tasha99]

Keep at it! I'm at 46 runs, so up for a red shirt soon..😊

[Tasha99 Graduate10 in reply to davelinks]

My aim is a red shirt! Haven’t missed one since starting so maybe after Xmas 😂

[davelinks Graduate10 in reply to Tasha99]

And then aim for the next one. My nephews not too far from his 100 black shirt and a friend is up for the 250 green shirt about the same time as me..😁
