First Park Run!

[Murielbez]

Bloody Sträva stopped recording halfway but I *think* I completed the 5k in about 45 minutes. People were so friendly and cheering me along the way and a runner stopped to talk to me and ran with me for the last stretch which was so kind of him.

Really proud of myself and will give it another go next Saturday.

I hope everyone is well!

I wasn't at a parkrun today, next week I will be when my "home" Parkrun celebrates it's 100th run, but every time I finish a run, I look at my watch and guess what my time was, you say that you "think" it was 45 minutes, well I think that you probably ran it under 45 minutes, let us know later what your official time was.

No matter what the time was, congratulations on completing your first 5k Parkrun.

[Murielbez in reply to AlMorr]

thank you I will let you know. I think it may be less than 45 indeed, maybe 40? Let's see.

[Murielbez in reply to AlMorr]

41:31!

Congratulations, wonderful, great time, I don't usually get my official Parkrun time until around 12.30, that was quick, in fact, a few weeks ago I didn't get my official Parkrun time until 3PM, getting it before 11.30 is fast, once again congratulations on that time, who knows, your next parkrun time might be sub 40 minutes. 😊 🏃🏾

Very well done. I keep putting off ParkRun, convincing myself it’s too hilly at my local one. Sounds like you had a great time, though. Go you!

[Murielbez in reply to NewRunner4]

Thank you! You should try as it's very friendly and uncompetitive. and if you run slow (like me) you can chat with the tail walker and pet the dog!

[SlowLoris in reply to NewRunner4]

Hills are good for you. Embrace them.

[NewRunner4 Graduate10 in reply to SlowLoris]

I will - eventually!

[UnfitNoMore Graduate10]

Parkrun is usually amazing, but your experience of your first is even better, what a great chap you met out there. Great job and hopefully it’s the first of many brilliant Saturday morning runs.

[Debston Graduate10]

Well done on your first Parkrun, great time too! ☺

[Buddy34 Graduate10]

Congratulations on your first parkrun and so nice of the guy to run the last bit with you. 😊😊👏

[iain-strachan Graduate10]

You should be able to get your official time when your Parkrun publishes the results on its website - provided you had your barcode.

[JonathanP Graduate10]

Well done Muriel - but watch out, it's addictive!😀👍

[Murielbez]

I hope so! 😃😃
