Happy with that!

[Oldgirlruns]

I haven’t posted much recently but though I would today as I’m feeling just a bit chuffed. It was (not)parkrun this morning, quite dull, cool and November-ish but good for trotting in. Having started with no real plan other than meeting my support bubble of Dexy5 and UpTheStanley for an outdoors coffee afterwards, I discovered at the end that I’d done it in 45:49 which is, for me, a PB! Definitely happy with that - one day I might even better it! Happy running folks!

Well done OGR! 👏🎖️Congratulations on your PB!

Thank you D-d!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate]

Wow that’s great, running is the main thing and we don’t care that we are slower than a lot of others but isn’t it great when you get a PB?

[UpTheStanley Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Can’t remember 😢 - not bad today though 😀

[Sandie1961 Graduate10 in reply to UpTheStanley]

But that’s because you are way faster than the rest of us!

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to Sandie1961]

Ah, you say the kindest things Sandie! My plan is that come the day we can all meet up again, I’d like to start running at the same time as everyone else in the hope of finishing at more or less the same time whereas at the moment I have to start a half hour beforehand!!

[Sandie1961 Graduate10 in reply to Oldgirlruns]

Ah, but you are still out there and that’s the main thing x

[Phdgranny Graduate10 in reply to Oldgirlruns]

My son and I have a plan that when we can do a park run he will do the circuit x2 so we can start and finish together! I still need to speed up though as he does it in just under 20 minutes!!

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to Phdgranny]

I know just how you feel!

[Lifluf Graduate10 in reply to Phdgranny]

I did that with my son-in-law earlier this year. He thought he could beat me but I got home a good couple of minutes before him. Makes me the winner in my eyes!

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Thanks Sola - I’ll take anything I can get!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Oldgirlruns]

I was five minutes behind you on my last 5k

[UpTheStanley Graduate10]

Never mind “one day” - that’ll be “next week” 😜

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to UpTheStanley]

Gulp!

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

45:49 is brilliant OldGirl. The JogRunSprint and fastest 1k Challenge have obviously helped you. Not to mention some at a distance pacing from @coddfish last week

Now you can reduce speed for your next run to let your body recover. Your snails aren’t redundant yet. 🐌 🐌 🐌 🐌

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

Thanks Dexy - yes, back to 🐌 for the next one!

[dijep Graduate10]

Congratulations👍 Its funny how sometimes when you don't have a plan to achieve you achieve anyway.

hope you had cake with the coffee

😀

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to dijep]

Thanks dijep, a bit early for cake (even for me!) but there was a rather tasty cinnamon whirl!

[Beatlesforever Graduate10]

Wow that's fantastic! Congratulations on your new 5k PB 🎉👏👏👏

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to Beatlesforever]

Thank you Beatlesforever!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10]

Congratulations OGR on that PB time of 45.49, I am sure you it won't be long before you can get a sub 45 minutes 5K.

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

Thank you Alan - I can dream of 45 minutes !

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Oldgirlruns]

... and I can dream of a sub 30 minute 5k 🏃🏾 😊

[Bluebirdrunner Graduate10]

What a lovely surprise Oldgirlruns a PB without even trying...the best kind!😅👌

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to Bluebirdrunner]

Thank you FRB!

[Sybilw Graduate10]

Hooray. Nothing like a Pb to cheer the mood. I tried my fastest 1k today. Went ok 👌🏻. Just think what you could have done if you’d realised you were on a fast one! Well done

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to Sybilw]

Thank you Sybilw- glad to hear your fastest Km went OK! Good times all round!

[JonathanP Graduate10]

What with your 1k PB earlier in the week, you're on a roll OGR!👍

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to JonathanP]

Thanks JP - just so long as I haven’t peaked too soon!!

[Hidden]

I just read your bio. Look at how far you've come and what you've achieved 👏👏👏👏 A PB is always a special moment to remember. Very, very well done 🥳🥳🥳

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you so much GTFC! You’re right - I never thought I would get this far when I took those first knackering C25K steps! Onward and onward!

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10]

Woohoo OGR, it’s that wonderful “I got a PB today” feeling that stays with you all day that I enjoy! Hope you’re still feeling it. 🥰

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]
