Double chuffed!

I can't quite believe it but I graduated today at the Poole Parkrun!!! Also managed to do it in 30 minutes (officially 29:45). Garmin data here if anyone wants a look: connect.garmin.com/activity.... Poole is a really nice course if you're ever down in Dorset, even with today's wind and rain! Anyhow, I'm staying in for the rest of the day now-warm fire, cup of tea and all that. Good luck to us all in 2014 and as ever, onward and upward.

Congratulations! Great feeling isn't it. Also great to discover Parkruns -

I too was thrilled to do my first Parkrun in under 30 minutes (only be 5 seconds, but they are very important seconds).
