PB in the rain!

[Fionamags]

Thought I'd do the notPark Run 5k today. I registered during C25k with the intention of doing it after I graduated. But then lockdown happenned. So I thought I'd give it a virtual go.

Set off and it was cloudy but really muggy. At the half way point though it started to rain, which was a blessed relief! So I was soaked and happy when I finished with my slow but fastest 5k yet at 41.18. I'll crack that 40 minutes eventually!

Rain is so great when running. You will get sub 40 in time too. Most importantly for now, enjoy your day!

Congratulations on your 5k pb Fionamags and all done in the pouring rain. Well done you 🥳🥳

[Fionamags Graduate10 in reply to Buddy34]

Thanks! It was just light rain and it was lovely as it cooled me right down.

Well done, fabulous time 👍

[Fionamags Graduate10 in reply to MoliJ]

Thanks! That was my fastest snail. 😄😄😄

Go you!!! Great result! Are you still doing intervals??? I bet running in the rain was nice. We haven't had half the rain forecast but there's still time⛈️

[Fionamags Graduate10 in reply to Allbarron]

Yes I'm trying to keep at them once a week. What about you?

[Allbarron 60minGraduate in reply to Fionamags]

Obviously paying off you must be pleased with that time. I haven't done them for a couple of weeks but I've just found a new one in Nike Run club so hopefully try that next week.

Great run for you Fionamags, I am sure you will "crack" that sub 40 minute 5K soon, onwards and upwards 🏃🏾 👍

[dijep Graduate10]

Wow well done that's a great time 👍 I registered for notParkrun and

was going to run today but woke up with a headache so fingers crossed for tomorrow. Hope you celebrated your success 🎉

[Fionamags Graduate10 in reply to dijep]

Currently under a blankie on the sofa with a cup of tea to hand. I know how to have a good time, me

[Hidden in reply to Fionamags]

Even during lock down there is no stopping you! 😉

[Fionamags Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Ha ha ha yes go me with the tea and blankie! Might have something stronger this evening.

[Hidden in reply to Fionamags]

Coffee?

[Fionamags Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Well we're expecting a wine delivery soon so we need to make some space in the cupboard. I'll just have to take one for the team this evening.

[Hidden in reply to Fionamags]

If you can't take one on a Saturday night when can you take one!

Fill the glass and get it into ye! 😀

[dieOR5k Graduate10 in reply to Fionamags]

Grand accomplishment but more importantly, you can get wine delivered in bulk??? omg sign me up. When lockdown was announced my last purchase that day was 10 bottles to celebrate/weather being quarantined with the fam.

[Fionamags Graduate10 in reply to dieOR5k]

You can get it delivered by a range of folk eg Naked Wines, virgin Wines, The Wine Society etc. We use the Wine Soc as it is profit sharing and you get great wine.

Well Done Fionamags, that’s great to hear, the rain came just in time

I did the same thing, registered & planned to run immediately post graduation to keep up momentum, even ordered a pink wrist bracelet... 😀... hopefully I’ll get to my first not parkrun soon, still gearing up to start running again after a month on ic, no reason to delay now the heat has passed 🤔

[Fionamags Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

I did exactly the same except mine is purple. It will be all the sweeter when park run starts up again. Good luck with your return - hope its not too long before you're running legs are back in action.

[ForestGrump63 60minGraduate]

Well done 👏 👏 👏

[Roxdog Graduate10]

Well done you! Sounds like you are really on a roll! Fantastic! Looking forward to running again, maybe I'll try a very gentle few minutes next week!

[Fionamags Graduate10 in reply to Roxdog]

Hope you manage to get back to it then - you've had quite a long spell on the IC. You were going great as well. Still the runs will always be waiting for us. Xx

[MartinKH Graduate10]

That’s brilliant, well done you and congratulations on your 5k PB.

Enjoy your cuppa or something stronger 🍷

You’ve earned it.

[Fionamags Graduate10 in reply to MartinKH]

Just heading for the G&T 😉

[MartinKH Graduate10 in reply to Fionamags]

Good plan 👍

I’m having a pre tennis beer at the moment. ( tennis isn’t until tomorrow morning ).

Enjoy your G & T 🍸

[Fionamags Graduate10 in reply to MartinKH]

Always good to plan ahead 🤣🤣🤣 I'll be having a wee wine later. By that stage you'll no doubt be toasting your run on Monday?

[MartinKH Graduate10 in reply to Fionamags]

You know me too well 🤣🤣🤣
