I havenβt been to parkrun since Lyme Park for various reasons so I checked last night that Market Rasen was still on (it gets cancelled on race days!) and discovered it was their first birthday and a gazillion cakes were going to be there. Itβs a nice open and fairly flat course and the scene of my first and, until today, only sub 30 parkrun. Loads of people in fancy dress (Only Fools and Horses themed!) - a couple of horses, a unicorn, several Del Boys and Rodneys, a couple of Batmen and Robins and one brave lady sporting a cardboard Trotters Independent van! For a change I started towards the front as there was plenty of room for the speedsters to get past. It felt like a good pace but not too tiring. Official time 29:32 knocking 24 seconds off my time in July, 98th out of 185 runners, age grading 62.48%. Having now lost 21lbs in the last 2 months must be making a difference. I cannot stop grinning. It wasnβt a fluke after all. Sadly not a 5k PB as Strava only recorded 4.98km darn it! The cupcake was delicious and I managed to get home just before the rain started. Hope your weekend has got off to an equally amazing start and happy running everyone πππ
Market Rasen parkrun 1st birthday, a PB and ... - Bridge to 10K
Market Rasen parkrun 1st birthday, a PB and lots of cupcakes π§
Congratulations Sandie, a brilliant parkrun PB. Good to see your parkrun celebrated it in style too.
Forecast weather conditions down south meant many cancelled parkruns down here. I guess it was time we suffered like everyone else has the last few weeks, we are generally so lucky .
So looking forward to next week and hoping it will be a lovely day. Poppy shirts for us I think.
Nice run Sandie, youβre officially Very Fast, no fluke! And how appropriate to run a new PB on its first birthday too. Double celebration definitely warranted cake! π π πββοΈ
Great run..with treats all around..you are very fast...! Go you!
Sounds great...congratulations on your PB!
Boo for Strava!! I never use it; I just stick to Garmin time, so only have the occasional faux pas which are entirely my fault. Great run Sandie, you are on fireπππ
Congrats Sandie...all your efforts paying off there !
Massive congratulations you deserve that grin, the weight loss must feel so good.
