Parkrun with new RB

A couple of weeks ago I discovered that Agingnovice1 lives in the next village. So, after exchanging a few texts, we met up last week for the strenuous workout of lifting coffee cup to lips in the village coffee shop. This morning we arranged to meet at Lincoln parkrun. Thankfully the rain stayed away although the wind was getting up by the end. We chatted away during the first lap and then I’m sorry to say I picked up the pace a bit and left her. After a 30 min legs and bum workout at 8.00, I wasn’t in a massive hurry so no PB for me, but she did manage a 5k PB 👏👏👏 So nice to find a lovely local runny friend for the occasional run 😃😃

How wonderful to have a regular PR running buddy Sandie! Sounds like you had a great time. Well done on your PB Agingnovice1 ! 👏👏👏

That’s great Sandie- another great VRB get together story. A good idea to meet in a public place first too - just to check they are who they say they are. Not that I’m paranoid 😂

Thank you Sandie1961 Hanging with me for first lap (of 3) must have impacted massively on your time. Map My Run had my 5k time quicker than ParkRun but I’ll stick with the PR time which was still a PB. On a positive note it seems I was 3rd in my age group 😂

Laugh or cry which shall I do 🤷‍♀️🙈

It was lovely to run with you. After my workout I needed a slightly more gentle start 😃
