First ever park run

Today was finally the day.....had reservations as hadn’t run for three weeks due to chest infection and then the craziness that is Christmas. So pleased to get out there. Bit weird to be running with other people but enjoyed myself and so glad to be back running again!

Well done. Not sure if I'll ever make it to PR myself!

Well done! How was it?

I’m a bit jealous as I haven’t done one yet. I’m hoping to do my first next week.

Was good.....I’m fairly slow so started at the back and just kept going....actually nicer in the last k when you have support and others around you finding it a bit tough too

Well done Sparkey, the first one is the hardest and after that you have your own time to beat, or not. Some of us get totally addicted and Saturday’s have changed forever.
