Park run no. 1

So, completed my first park run Saturday morning. It was really reassuring that along with myself there were around 10 newbies that morning. The group were really friendly and the run was really well organised.

I managed to complete the 5k without stopping and posted a time of 31:55, which was every so slightly slower than I was targeting but not at all disappointing for my first attempt. I now have a target to beat next week.

I have a feeling that Saturday mornings will now become Park Run Morning.

Great time for your first 5K parkrun, I know what you are aiming for Phirrup, a sub 30 minute 5k.

Ideally I want to be under 30 minutes m, yes. I think it could be achievable within a month.

So glad you enjoyed it Phirrup. Yes Saturday morning will never be the same again. We are also thinking about doing it on 🎅🏻 day. What has this running done to me?

Wow, that is either dedication or insanity I cannot decide just yet 🤣🤣. Mind you, give it a couple of months and I could end up the same.

Not can I Phirrup- last year it was unthinkable! But it was a Santa run last year that got me thinking I wanted to run 🎅🏻 🤶.

Congrats what an amazing time, I was over the moon with my 38 minutes.

You'll get that sub 30 no problems
