[Runsome]

Hi All just can’t stop smiling got new Parkrun PB from out of the blue of 26:44 in tough conditions. And in June i struggled to run for a minute on the c25k plan! Best wishes to all the poppy runners at Bexhill today and all runners wherever you may be have a great day 😀👍

What fabulous progress in such a short time! 😊🍾🥂🎉🏅👏🏻👍☀️🏃🏻🤸‍♂️🏃🏻🤸‍♂️🏃🏻🤸‍♂️I like awarding myself 'medals' even if they are virtual or paper and laminated for any celebratory achievement, that's why I have given you one. Enjoy you smiling I hope that it lasts a long time. Well done on your PB! 😊

Thanks for the medal I love it. the only reason I got through the c25k plan Was due to people like yourself and others who always give encouragement and support which Is just what we all need sometimes when the going gets tough Cheers😀👍👏

Wowsers!! Excellent. Under 30 mins . That's my goal. Be really proud of yourself and tell everyone! 😁😁. I would 👏🎉

Hi Deals1 thanks. I aimed for the magic 30 and slowly it,s chipped down (and up) from there, usually the runs you expect the least from you gain the most. The most important message I took from the C25k plan is running for 30mins regardless of time and if possible enjoy it along the way. If not whilst running certainly the sense of achievement afterwards. All the best with your sub 30 😀👍

Thanks. Yep you are right .

Wowser Runsome, brilliant time! Speedy indeed. Bet you’re chuffed to bits! 😀😀😀👏👏👏

[Runsome Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Hi CC Yes thanks just a bit 😀 did you run or volunteer today? 😀

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to Runsome]

I volunteered today, giving my legs a little extra break after my 10k. I love volunteering - I did barcode scanning which is my favourite role! 😀🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃🏃🐕🐕

[Runsome Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

I don’t know how you manage that barcode scanning I would get all confused and mixed up😀

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to Runsome]

I love it, and as long as you remember to ‘put the runner first’, and scan the bar code before the token, it’s pretty straightforward. I had to send a few away to be manually recorded - sweaty crumpled barcodes are never good!

I’d be scared doing the timekeeping though! 😳

[Runsome Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Yes mine got a bit like that and I always forgot to get it ready for scanning, so now I’ve bought one of the bracelets with the code on 😀

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to Runsome]

I want one of those too - I’m deciding which colour! 😀

[Ang33333 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

I love bar code scanning too but would never time keep!

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to Ang33333]

Nor me. I’d definitely get in a tizz and mess up somehow! 😅

[MutleyShuffle Graduate10]

Wowee! Fabulous! Incredible time, huge congrats! 😁🏃👟🎉🎈

[Runsome Graduate10 in reply to MutleyShuffle]

Hi MutleyShuffle how was your run today😀

[MutleyShuffle Graduate10 in reply to Runsome]

It was quite hard work! A cold wind and shingle strewn over the promenade, a bit dicey! Managed to improve on my time though so I'm happy 😊

[Runsome Graduate10 in reply to MutleyShuffle]

Great on the time improvement. 👏👏Conditions were same for parkrun today loads of shingle on the prom. 😀

[MutleyShuffle Graduate10 in reply to Runsome]

Wow I've never seen Hastings Park Run like that - even bigger respect for your time!!

[Crawlhome Graduate10]

Brilliant Runsome, what an amazing time and even more so if you're having anything like the weather we are!

[Runsome Graduate10 in reply to Crawlhome]

Thanks Crawlhome 😀

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

[Runsome Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

[RunBrianRun Graduate10]

Fabulous time Runsome! I’ll be doing a Hastings Parkrun this summer at some point as my son and his family have just moved there.
