It's been a funny old week! Lack of sleep and a very painful finger but garden centres, walks, runs, and beachfront baskets of cheesy chips with friends, it's a great life really this being retired. I thought my finger pain was a flare up of psoriasis, but turns out it's gout!!! Gout 😮 me? Flipping heck,
Anyway, this morning I'm volunteering at parkrun, I'm going to be a Marshall and I'm going to wear a high Vis vest 😁 you wouldn't believe how excited I was when I woke up 😁
And it was great fun, really great to be part of something, I've cheered and clapped everyone on the way out and again on the way back. I'm making new friends, and discussing running, times, distances and pace with people who do run and are interested.
Afterwards I met my neighbour and ran 5k, I entered this as a (not) parkrun at 47:09 which is slower than last week but the sun shone so I'm happy, she ran a week 4 run of C25K and we both came home happy and chatting.
I would have never found this forum without C25k, I'd have never have found parkrun without this forum so thank you everyone here for opening my eyes to what a wonderful community runners are.
Run happy or rest well
