[Fitfor60]

Ran with my daughter who was doing 1st park run and has just finished c25k which was lovely Got hug from Wilma another c25k er at start and then a lady who I met at running club on Wed came up and said hello All in all really feel good morning Oh and the time -slowest since Christmas but for first time ever I wasn't bothered.

Excellent!! What a lovely post. Hope to do a park run with my daughter one day

Thanks ancient mum Emma used to run but not since having her 2 children Secretly I was quite chuffed she got back into it through c25k. She has been really supportive lending me her running clothes and telling her friends if her mum can do the c25 k prog then anyone can - but she means it in a really nice way. She only mentioned yesterday that she was thinking of doing Parkrun this morning so it was nice surprise.

Thanks - appreciated the hug!

I think I saw the two of you crossing the line but missed you in the bar code queue. i thought it seemed a bit quieter but there were 488 on the list. I notice there was one other C25ker (Suzanne Waterer) in the Edinburgh results but I don't know her, do you?

[Fitfor60 Graduate in reply to wilmacgh]

Yes I thought it seemed quieter too Wilma I was looking for you at end but was still quite busy I have seen Suzanne's name before but don't know her She is there most weeks

Aw. That's what it's all about. What a lovely event, and to share with your daughter. x

[Fitfor60 Graduate in reply to Jaqs99]

It was really good jaqs99 Theres talk of a junior park run here so that would mean her 3rd old son could run to make it 3 generations

[turnturtle Graduate]

Running with the next generation is great. Especially when they wait at the finish line and cheer you over it!

[Fitfor60 Graduate in reply to turnturtle]

Well this was Emma's first time so I ran slower to keep her company She kept saying to go ahead but being a supportive mum I said no it's absolutely fine darling . That's cos I couldn't have run any faster I was 3 mins slower than PB but felt like one of my best runs

[turnturtle Graduate in reply to Fitfor60]

Wait till she starts to run at twice your speed! It won't be long... I can't believe how many Junior boys and girls ran sub 30 minutes at our Park run yesterday!

[Fitfor60 Graduate in reply to turnturtle]

Yes Some of these wee ones are so speedy turnturtle

Hi Fitfor60.

Great to hear your post from Sat. What an awful east wind on the initial stretch on Sat but still warm - amazing for Edinburgh! I wear a grey short sleeve top and have a very red face at the end of the run- also a green garmin watch could identify me! How did your 5k around Arthur's Sear go? SW.

[Fitfor60 Graduate in reply to cathryn14]

It was windy SW but at least there was no rain or hail in it. I'm planning to do park run this sat so will look out for you to say hello if you not rushing off at end. Arthur seat was hard but great -36.13 -very anxious at start but ok on run Think having so many at park run prepared me as wasn't really aware of other runners But that hill on way up - phew
