That photo cost me a PB!

[CBDB]

So if I hadn’t taken that one photo of my beautiful sunny morning 5k run I would have had a 5k personal best! But it was worth it. But those 7 seconds left me 2nd fastest only on Runkeeper! 😤😃

But what an enjoyable run with Music and Zombies Galore, the latter told me it was a best 5k, and a best mile, and a best 1k. (Also saved someone from the philosophical moral tram conundrum, of having to chose between saving the one person on the left vs everyone on the right. Needless to say, superhero-runner-5-me saved both!!!! 🦸‍♀️)

Music gave me a 100% bouncy run all the way!

It felt phenomenal!

I am still ultra slow (I have yet to see a time on here that is slower), but in my little running world, I rock!

Happy running everyone!

You absolutely rock CBDB! Well done on your (would have been) PB! What a happy post. I can imagine your grin from here. 🥰😀

...so it’s called “ PB with photo” 😄It sounds such a lovely run CBDB, and your enjoyment shines through- which, in my opinion, is the most important thing. 😄

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Elfe5]

😁😃🙏”PB with Photo” it is! 👍🏽

[Fionamags Graduate10]

That sounded brilliant! They say that comparison is the theif of joy - and you're having none of it. You certainly do rock!!!!

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Fionamags]

Thank you! 😁🙏😁🙏😁🙏 🎸

That sounds like a fun run!To be honest after taking a photo and saving the world a pb is a lot to ask

Happy running.

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10]

That’s a beautiful photo CBDB and a PB is just out there waiting for you on another day! As for times - check out some of mine, which I feel pretty confident will be much slower !

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Oldgirlruns]

No chance, @oldgirlruns! Having looked, I am still beating you in being slower! 🤣🤣🤣 I’ll need to start calling myself the Queen of Slow, which actually sounds great. Happy to wear it until someone else takes my crown. But no, you still have to work on your inner snail to get close to me. 😂😂😂 (12.05min/km)

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to CBDB]

Right, the gauntlet is thrown ! The only thing I thought I was good at in this running lark was being the slowest kid on the block! And now I find I’m not even best at that 😢😂! Drat!

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Oldgirlruns]

😂😂 channel that inner snail, and have the most delicious slow runs possible.

Happy to pass the crown on to others for a while, but happy to take it then back again. I do love my slow runs ... not that I have the choice at the moment, but it took me a while to feel comfortable with it.

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10]

I’ll be slower!

It’s a great pic 😍

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Maddee_6333]

Ha ha 😂😂 I seem to have thrown down that gauntlet of slow, with runners vying for that golden-snail-pace place.

But sorry, no. As far as I can see, I still retain the Crown of Slow. My pace currently is around 12min/km. So I am actually working on a 5k below 60 min and am just about there.

Nice try, though. 😂😂😂

This is so great. Your energy is infectious.

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to HeLuMaC25K]

😃🙏😃🙏🏃🏼‍♀️

(I still sometimes panic about stopping at some point, but after more than a year of running I think it’s an embedded habit)

[Hidden]

I love this thread! It is brilliant to read about everyone competing to be the slowest, what a refreshing change!! Your run looks lovely CBDB, well done 😊

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

🙏😂👍🏽🏃🏼‍♀️🐌 yes, we’ll rename it “channel your inner snail” 🤣🤣 Thank you. A perfect way to spend a bank holiday Sunday! Just did my yoga as well, and it’s also an ultra-slow delicious workout! 💪🦥

[Hidden in reply to CBDB]

Yes - lovely slow yoga today, I did it this morning. Set me up for the day 🧘🏼‍♀️☺️

[Cantstopmenow Graduate10]

What a lovely run. Who'd have thought that running would be so enjoyable ! You certainly do rock 🌟

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Cantstopmenow]

🤗☺️🙏🎸✔️
