Another week, another pb!

Last week I was delighted to get a new pb at Parkrun - it had been months since that happened. Well, blow me down, today I got another new pb! I really wasn't expecting to, so it was a fantastic surprise when the results came in. Last week was 38:20 and this week's was 37:33. And best of all, my 12 year old son got a new pb too - 26:00! We're both feeling very chuffed.

Thanks ForbiddenPlanet! Yes, he is so much faster than me - my dream is to keep up with him and finish together! I may be waiting some time for that dream to come true... lol

Well done Debston

Well done Debston - if you keep on getting Pb’s , you’ll be finishing before you’ve started before long! And well done to your son too - it must be in the genes!

Yes, I am so pleased he got a new pb too. He said in the car on the way there that he was really going to go for it!

Congratulations to you and your son on getting PB's at this mornings Parkrun, not sure if you could beat your son, he will soon be able to run a 5K in in 25 or less minutes, but on the other hand you could ask him politely to "slow down" 😊

😂 I could ask but he wouldn't! To be fair, I wouldn't want him to slow down for me, I would feel bad for slowing him down. I think you're right that he's going for that 25 minute barrier and there's no way I'll be matching that! Were you at Parkrun today AlMorr?

Yes, I was at my first parkrun of 2020 this morning at Dunfermline, nice sunny morning, just over 200 running, no PB today, my time was 33.30, I hope it won't be long before you can get a sub 35 minute 5K, but by that time your son will have broken that 25 minute barrier. 🏃🏾👍
