Parkrun plus bringing home the bacon 🐷

[Katnap]

Today my youngest kitten did his 10th parkrun! 👏👏👏🏃🏆

I got a new parkrun PB. I'm now under 28 minutes. 💪

I then ran to the local garden centre where there is a butchers where I got the bacon. And ran back to bring home the bacon! 😁

Looking forward to passing out in front of the telly tonight... 💤

Happy running my VRBs! 🏃🏃🏃👏👏👏😁

Your sizzling Katnap and inspiring your family! Well done

[Katnap Graduate10 in reply to steviej99]

Thanks steviej99! Kitten 2 started it actually. Then Tailchaser. I was under doctors orders....

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10]

Sounds like the perfect day Katnap! And well done to your little kitten for his 10th - and your PB of course! 👏👏👏

It’s funny but the beautiful weather made me want to run again today too, but I resisted. What a difference a bit of warmth makes. ☀️☀️

[Katnap Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

There's always tomorrow! 😸

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to Katnap]

Don’t tempt me! 😈😈😈

[Katnap Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Oh go on. Go on go on go on. Just a little one... 😸

Wow wow wow. Sub 28. My god what are you eating??? Wearing???? Just brilliant 👏👏👏😀😀

[Katnap Graduate10 in reply to Wimborne]

Looking forward to toning it down for a bit! 😸

[Wimborne in reply to Wimborne]

Not quite sure I can think of you toning it down....

[Katnap Graduate10 in reply to Wimborne]

I run more slowly for longer distances. Speed (weirdly) seems to improve when 5k becomes a short run!

[Beanjo]

Wow Katnap- that’s some pace. Well done you 👍🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

[Katnap Graduate10 in reply to Beanjo]

Thanks Beanjo 😁

How's your running going?

[Beanjo in reply to Katnap]

Struggling to get out more than once a week at the moment. Really desperate to get back to 3 times a week but lots going on. Missing it so much 🙁

[Katnap Graduate10 in reply to Beanjo]

Grrrr. A short run is better than no run, so I hope you get more time soon.

[RunBrianRun Graduate10]

Well done Katnap. I couldn’t imagine running again after a Parkrun no matter how much I wanted a bacon buttie! 😃

[Katnap Graduate10 in reply to RunBrianRun]

Yeah. But the rest of the family and kittens would starve!

[JonathanP Graduate10]

Congratulations Katnap - excellent time!

[Katnap Graduate10 in reply to JonathanP]

It was tough and a bit of an adventure as there are no paths near the end of the route but the roadside verge was wide enough. Practice for some cross country! 😸

[Bridget007]

Wow 😮 well done 👍🏻 and sub 28 I can only dream 😊

[Katnap Graduate10 in reply to Bridget007]

Apart from the start of the month I've been able to run regularly since starting C25K last September. Remaining injury and illness free makes a big difference

[grumpyoldgirl]

Brilliant stuff, katnap! Wow what a time. And then trotting off to get the bacon. Trotting, see what I did there 😂

[Katnap Graduate10 in reply to grumpyoldgirl]

Hehe! With the comments about speed I'm surprised nobody asked if it was streaky bacon 😁

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to Katnap]

😂 is that the stuff with the go faster stripes? 😁

[Katnap Graduate10 in reply to grumpyoldgirl]

Sure is! 🏃🏃🏃😵

[over61andstilltrying Graduate10]

Well done to you! Congratulations! PBs are always worth celebrating. 😊🍾🥂🎉🏅👏🏻👍☀️ 💥⚡️ 🏃🏻🤸‍♂️🏃🏻🤸‍♂️🏃🏻🤸‍♂️ Brilliant!

[Katnap Graduate10 in reply to over61andstilltrying]

Bacon rolls are a great celebration food! What's your PB / victory food?

[over61andstilltrying Graduate10 in reply to Katnap]

When I completed my first 10km I made a batch of scones and had one with strawberry jam and cream. My sub 30 minute 5km reward was smiles and grins! Currently with a dodgy hamstring, PBs seem like a thing of the past. 😔

[Katnap Graduate10 in reply to over61andstilltrying]

But you managed a pig meat pun 😁

Hamstring... Hoho!

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

Well done to kitten no 2 on 10 parkruns. A PB of 28 mins is fantastic for you too Katnap; you haven’t been transformed into a cheetah by any chance have you?

Hope you enjoyed those bacon butties after all that running. 🥓 🏃‍♂️🥪 😃

[Katnap Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

Oh yeah.... 😁 and it was a big pack so enough for next Saturday too!

[lexi6 Graduate10]

But Wow! 👍👍👊🏻

[Katnap Graduate10 in reply to lexi6]

I'm hoping to push beyond 13k next month and build upto HM distance this year.

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10]

Well done to young kitten, and to your good self. Yum. Bacon 😋

[Katnap Graduate10 in reply to BaddieThePirate]

😁🍔☕😁

Congrats on your new Parkrun PB, I’ve 32 seconds to shave off for a sub 28 minute 5K Parkrun PB. But I’ll get there. My 9 year old Son did his 8th Parkrun yesterday, just 2 more to go for his 10. Looking forward to ordering him his Parkrun 10 T-Shirt and during the summer I’ll get my 50 shirt.

And very well done for literally bringing home the bacon.

[Katnap Graduate10 in reply to damienair]

It's the first time I crept into the 'top' 50% in my age category too.

Good luck with your PBs. Milestones are still miles away for me!

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate10]

Brilliant... Just splendid! x

[Katnap Graduate10 in reply to Oldfloss]

Ta! 😁

[kwell39 Graduate10]

Sounds like a fantastic run with a fantastic time! Awesome! 🎉

[Katnap Graduate10 in reply to kwell39]

Thanks kwell39 😁

[SaskAlliecat Graduate10]

Great job on the PB (speedy!), to kitten on making 10 parkruns (Whoohoo!) and bringing home the bacon (literally 😂😋🥓). Now I want 🥓 but after a week away eating out most mornings, i’ve Consumed enough bacon for the year! Time to break my bacon habit 😢

[Katnap Graduate10 in reply to SaskAlliecat]

You can have too much of a good thing. Definitely tastes better after an absence.
