Woo! Get you! Excellent Rockette. I'm still trying to pluck up the courage to go 'en-masse'. Let us know how you get on. Remember, be a tortoise not a hare!

Thanks for the advice fitfor60 , yes I can imagine you could get carried away at the start . I'll remember to pace myself . I've done a dummy park run a few wks ago so sat it's the real thing .

You're so brave!!!! I want to do one but have so far chickened out but I don't think I can put it off for much longer. Are you going it alone or do you have supporters/fellow runners?

[Rockette in reply to misswobble]

Well I'm the same , I've been putting it off for a while , done dummy runs , & decided to do it . Park is just down road from me, just a short walk , I'm all on my own doing it hubby working , & nobody I know runs . Can't see any of my daughters coming to watch because they are all out partying ( mad Friday ) night before .

Good Luck Rockette!

I too am doing my first Park Run on Saturday, I decided when I started C25K that my goal was to do a park run before Christmas, so I'm really hoping I'll get round!

I did a Santa's on the Run last Sunday, (2 miles) which was quite wearing in a hot santa suit, but brilliant fun!

I look forward to hearing how you get on x

Like you Rockette I run mostly alone but I have joined a running group and have run with them twice. They're serious runners, but so far I've done ok and they are very nice and supportive. Running with them tomorrow. I would be doing Park Run on my own too and am a bit nervous, but then things are never as bad in real life as they are in our heads. She who dares wins!

[Rockette in reply to misswobble]

3 of us then sat , first timers all the best

[Fitfor60 Graduate in reply to Rockette]

Good luck to all 3 of you for 1st parkrun on sat If you anything like me you will probably find the anticipation harder than the actual run Enjoy and remember your BARCODE !

[Rockette in reply to redrunning]
