A glorious Parkrun morning on our seafront. Dexy5 is recovering from the lurgy but decided she was up for a slow run so we trotted along near the back having a chat. Well, she chatted and I grunted occasionally. Her slow is faster than my normal so there was a lovely Pb for me for the first km and the rest weren’t too shabby either (for me!). Even running into the usual OGR headwind - why is it always windy?! As ever, UTS kindly came out to run us in to the end and Mr Garmin has given me a PB for 5km - 48:04. Pretty slow for most of you I know, but I’m happy with it thanks! And a lovely brekkie afterwards! Happy running folks!
Phew, that was a bit speedy for an old girl! - Bridge to 10K

Congratulations on your fastest 1k, fastest mile, and fastest 5k Oldgirlruns. Your Strava page is covered in Personal Records and you know what your body is capable of now. I’m a great believer in using the wind to your advantage when it’s behind you , because it’s going to slow you down in the opposite direction. It was a pleasure to run with you and it’s the first time I’ve done parkrun in zone 4 heart rate, apart from Tailwalking. That was a great recovery run after days in bed feeling sorry for myself.

Thank you Dexy!!
What happened to the photo- everyone likes a photo 📸
You mean of my Garmin connect result ? Haven’t worked out how to do that yet!
Well done on your PB! Bet it was a bit blowy beside the sea though💨 but how lovely to meet up with Dexy5 and UpTheStanley 🏃♀️🏃🙂
Thank you IP ! Difficult to avoid Dexy and UTS really (and they me of course!) - friends for over 20 years and we live within walking distance of each other! But you’re quite right - meet ups are lovely!
Oh I didn’t realise you were all friends. How lovely 🤗
Yes , Oldgirlruns was so impressed with my rise from couch to 5k and then 10k, it was not difficult to persuade her to take up the challenge too, although she did put it off until we were out of the country skiing last year. 😂😂She started volunteering at parkrun while supporting me and has got her purple shirt. I’m very proud of her.
I'm a similar speed to you and I know how hard I've worked to reach that so jolly well done! When I volunteered at park run I noticed the people at the end put in just as much effort as the front runners, so speed is irrelevant, it's what's right for you! 🏃🏻♀️👏😊
Very well done Oldgirlruns ! 👏👏👏 What a lovely positive run you had. Really fab! 😀👊🏃♀️
Mine wasn’t. 😅😅
Congratulations on your pb , always nice to see 😊😊😊
It was windy at my parkrun too. Well done on your PB, smashing it OGR
Well done to you! PBs are always worth celebrating!

Well done OGR. I recognise that breakfast, it seems to be your regular favourite
🎉👏🏼🎉 Well done. PB is personal- that’s the point. Congratulations ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Well done on your PB OGR and in windy conditions, breakfast looks delish! 🙂
Glad you and Dexy5 enjoyed your trot/chat OGR - the PB was a real bonus!👍
Is that bacon on toast? yum
That’s a good time and great to get a PB so well done you
How lovely to have Dexy to run with you
Well done on your pb and a delicious breakfast for your effort 😋
Good for you! 😄 That’s my kinda speed! ... and the occasional grunt - yep! 😂
