Hi all, I finished Lloyd Parkrun in 29:40 this morning, so itโ€™s a great new PR for me ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿฅ‡I took the best part of a minute off my previous best by following a chap whoโ€™d done over 350 Parkruns according to his t-shirt.๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ

He took off and left me in the final section and I didnโ€™t see him again so didnโ€™t get a chance to thank him. ๐Ÿ˜• Thankyou, whoever you are! ๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

Iโ€™m going to celebrate at lunchtime ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿฅ‚๐Ÿ˜€

Wow that's a great speed. 350 Park runs though?! Obsessed!

Thanks Empem. ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ‘ Yes, Iโ€™m only 340 Parkruns behind him. Hopefully Iโ€™ll see him again and get the chance to thank him! ๐Ÿคž

Haha....It's on my ' to do' list to do a PR but anxious I'll hammer it as I have found a latent competitive spirit and I'd ruin some good work .That's my excuse anyway!

Just take your time and youโ€™ll get through it no problem ๐Ÿ™‚ Try to find a pacer like I did, itโ€™s so much easier that way ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ

Looks like a good day for milestones - well done for sub-30 and such a big improvement :-)

I've never seen a 350 t-shirt - what colour is it? Or could you only see red mist?

Thanks UpTheStanley, it was black and on the back it had 300 then below it 350. It had the Parkrun logo on it so I assumed it was official, but I may well be wrong! ๐Ÿคฃ

Hey another PB! A good idea to keep up with a parkrun vet. Sub 30 is one of ticks that everyone wants. ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ‘โฑ

Nice David! Nice lunch too :)
