Smug as a bug in a rug

I think that is awesome! I am just on week two, so you are an inspiration. I'm sure no-one can run slower than me, so I am with you - you finished, and that's more than most people can do! Way to go!!

Fantastic, what an amazing achievement and good luck for next week

I admire you, I haven't had the guts to do that. I would need someone to hold my hand. Well dine and enjoy your personal time challenge, but don't think about it too much. It seems to happen anyway I have found so just enjoy the moment. Well done x

Yay!! Well done it's so good that you didn't get put off by the others - I definitely need to take a leaf out of your book!

I take my hat off to you.........Well Done!!

Way to go!!! I love this post, it is what it's all about. Congratulations and good luck with the rest of the programme. Enjoy your running.

Amazing, this is a great post, really inspiring. You're right, it doesn't matter about time at all and you should be incredibly proud. with that attitude you can achieve anything, well done

Thank you so much everyone! I wish I'd had you there as cheerleaders yesterday. The park was full of proper athletes training and at times I felt a bit of a laughing stock, but I just put my head down and got on with it. I don't think my son (43) has ever run as slowly in his life, so I guess it was much more embarrassing for him! My hips are quite achey today so I plan to do some swimming this week and give my poor old joints a rest. AS long as I'm feeling good in two weeks I will give our local Park Run a go and try for that 40 min mark. Watch this space

Oh well done. That made me smile. Good luck with the rest of the programme, you will definitely. get there. linda

Awesome - keep it up! I love your attitude and commitment - you are an inspiration!

Excellent achievement and exactly the right attitude. Best of luck with cracking the 40mins next week and all the very best with the rest of the programme.

Well done! I took my son along to the first one I did; I had to send him off to run his own race after the couple of minutes when he was walking backwards chuckling at me! He finished then picked a spot to wait for me and ran the last 1.5km with me! I finished that in over 46 minutes, but now have a pb of 33.27, way to go still to get that 30 minutes but will keep pushing!

I Parkran with my younger daughter yesterday, and encouraged her along to a new pb of 47.59; she came in 5th from last, so yours is a quick one! Hope your swim helps your joints, and good luck for your next pb!
