B210K Ju-Ju’s plan complete

[David_G]

Hi all, I finished B210K this morning at Weymouth Parkrun 🏃‍♂️ My official result was 5K in 27:49 so very pleased with that. 😀👏 I came 11th in my age group but I have moved up from VM50-54 to VM 55-59 with my birthday having been this week 🎂so that might account for my improved age-related result 😂

When I get back home I’m going to volunteer at my local Parkrun as a “thank you” to everyone there who’s got me this far 🙂👏👏

I’m going to consolidate for a few weeks at 4/5/10K and I’ve entered my first timed race over 5 miles (8K) at the end of September so onwards and upwards from here 😀😀👍

Happy running everyone 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Firstly, amazing time and result. Secondly, what a lovely gesture that is! 😁😘

Thanks Sutsha, I reckon volunteering is the least I could do 😊

I’m not sure yet where this journey is going to take me, but it’s not stopping at 10K, that’s for sure 😀👍

Well done David. Sounds great. I don’t think your journey will stop here.

Huge well done David, that's a great time!! Getting faster with age

[David_G in reply to Lorijay]

Yes, like a good wine perhaps? 🍷😊😂

[Empem Graduate10]

Wow that must feel so goooooood!

[David_G]

Yes, it certainly does! I reckoned the other runners would drag me round the course so I didn’t bother with Strava updates through my earplugs. 🙂😊

No matter what age group- that is s fab time for 5k. Well done!☺

Well done David, great time. I hope you remembered your bucket and spade, and had an ice cream to celebrate. I can’t get over how quickly you’ve all become 10k runners.

Enjoy your volunteering- it’s great to be on the other side cheering everyone on too

Oh and happy birthday too

[David_G in reply to Dexy5]

Thanks Dexy, I had a lovely time at the seaside and enjoyed my birthday with lovely meal! 🌊🏖

I can’t believe either how quickly we’ve got to 10K 😳😊 I just followed the C25K mantra of slow and steady - except for the last outing anyway! 😊😂

Looking forward to volunteering - I’ve got a rough idea what’s involved having seen others doing it on my way round 🙂

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to David_G]

Just make a lot of noise and cheer everyone on and you’ll do great. You get to chose your role on the roster - timekeeper is the most important and can be stressful if you get out of sync. I loved being at the turning cone but want to do tail wagger next time - it counts as a (slow) run and a volunteer.

[David_G in reply to Dexy5]

Thanks, I’ll start off with cheering people on I think and see how I get on with that. It’s the volunteering version of “slow and steady” 😂
