My 6th Parkrun ☀️🏃‍♀️🎉

[jlw34]

Six weeks ago I graduated C25K at parkrun with a time of 37:45 which I was chuffed with.

Today I got round in 33:30 and I’m so pleased I had to share.

As you can see from this finish line photo it definitely wasn’t easy😂😂

Enjoying my running in the cooler weather especially when the sun shines ☀️🍁.

Happy running everyone 😊

Great time and nice photo of you jlw34, you look so happy but a little tired on the photograph, I ran a 5k in about the same time and understand why it wasn't easy, well done. 😊

Great action photo jlw! 👏👏👏

My parkrun was definitely not a PB as I ran it wearing an elephant onesie. Yep. 😅😅🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🐘🐘

Well done too👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I don’t think I’d manage it. I hate getting too hot 🥵 hence a vest whatever the weather 😂

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to jlw34]

Me too as a rule! I was the closest to giving in and walking than any run I’ve ever done - but I didn’t! Phew! 😅🍅😅

Well Done jlw34, and a great time too. I think sallenson used to describe that as an athletic sheen. Let the Parkrun PBs continue.

Thank you. Definitely some kind of sheen 😂🥵

Well done, great run 👏👏👏 I’ve gradually improved from 35.13 to 33.25 over 8 parkruns. Would still like to break the 30 barrier!

[jlw34 Graduate10 in reply to Sandie1961]

Congratulations on your time too 👏🏻🎉

Me too Sandie but I think that is a way off for me. Under 33 is my next target, hopefully by Xmas. 🏃‍♀️🥵

[Sandie1961 Graduate10 in reply to jlw34]

I’ve stopped consciously chasing the 5k time and have started ju-ju’s Magic 10 plan, as everybody says as you increase distance, you naturally get faster. Think I’m built for distance rather than speed 😂

[jlw34 Graduate10 in reply to Sandie1961]

I only graduated C25K 5 weeks ago so thinking of starting the Magic 10 after Xmas.

Good luck with your journey 👍🏼

I have to say that the last 14 weeks have transformed my life after all my life saying I could never run.
