I marshaled my local parkrun today and walked the course with the tail walker for the second circuit I’ve learned 2 things today:
1. That HILL I dread every week is, in fact, really just a gentle (albeit long) incline. I’ll tackle it next week with an ‘I can’ attitude instead of ‘oh no!’ Should have remembered my advice to many on here - if you think you can’t - you won’t.
2. No one, and I mean NO ONE looked as bad as I feel when I run it (and I’m sure several did). You are all out there doing your best and looking amazing!!
Well done to everyone who did a parkrun today.
Bad news though. At the end of the year I go up an age category and thought - great I might look better (for a while at least). Sadly no! The fastest in that group today came in at 23.13 with an age grading of nearly 93%! Hey ho 😆
