First Parkrun

After a choppy week of running went and did my first Parkrun today after accidentally consuming too much rum last night. I somehow did it in 36mins and seeing as I just wanted to get in at under 40 mins I'm awfully pleased :D

Special thanks to Dan Zargo as I had his "hungover Parkrun" story from last week going through my head when every fibre of my being was telling me to stay in bed. So thanks Dan, I honestly wouldn't have gone if it hadn't been for your story!!!

Now to get back on it with Laura thîs week, I feel like I've neglected her a bit of late so come on week 7, let's be having yer! :) :) :)

Well done on your first park run and what a great time. Should be well chuffed with that. A 5k in 30 minutes seems to be well within your reach ;)

Great stuff.. as you know, this morning was my first Parkrun too... great fun!

That's a great time and you can be rightly proud that you "met your goal"... it's a great feeling... :)

The day I get 5k in 30 mins is the day there will be dancing in the streets of North London!

Well done for doing the rum, I mean run especially after the rum. Week 7 will be a breeze compared to today and your hungover running head. ;-)
