8km - did it!!!

Hiya! Here I am at Junior Parkrun - hot and sweaty after doing 8km!!! 😳😳😳

I was sensible this time and ran round the undulating Park 1.5 times - really pleased with all the things I’ve learned that help keep me going - thanks everyone 😘😘❤️❤️. Took just under 1h 2mins.... now there’s a target if ever I saw one. Well, looks like they’re off, so better do my marshalling thing and keep stretching and hydrating. Happy running all!

Absolutely fantastic Equi!! 🤩 Congratulations to you! That’s amazing!! Well done you!! Enjoy the marshalling it sure is a wet one. I was going out but with getting over a cold, I’ve decided best not to. Maybe later if it dies down a bit. ❤️

🙏 Thanks Fabulous! Hope you get over your cold quickly! I was relieved it was all done and dusted by 9.45 👍 I treated myself to a Costa latte on the way home to warm up, and now nice and clean and ready to enjoy the rest of the day.

Great achievement and as you say a great target 🎯!! I’m not long back from a really **** run. No doubt a post will follow although I’m wallowing in self pity at the moment ☹️ Wasn’t even wet!! Really well done.

Thanks Sybil! Sorry you didn’t have a great run this morning, you’ll figure it out and look how far you’ve come. One little glitch on the way won’t matter in the long term 🤗

Big hugs Sybilw! Have a rest now and rest your mind too! You went out, so it’s still a win!! Because good run, **** run, you ran!! We can now describe having good and rubbish runs! 😱 You’re a runner that’s for sure!! 😉❤️
