No personal best this park run I was last again but came first in my age grade , I'm getting good at that, lol . Last weeks was 34.09 . It was really hot today & I didn't enjoy it because we had to run without headphones in as. a event was being organised for today & the organiser said too much traffic around . Oh well happy running all .

Well done Rockette. Considering just a few short months ago you were sitting watching Loose Women, eating Krispy Kremes thinking you'd never get out the door again cos of injury. NOW LOOK AT YOU!!!

Hahahaha!! Well done for doing it and for coming first (in your age range....but so what! It's an achievement)

It's a Parkrun, it's 5k, and it's a good time. Well done ;)

Thanks Paul

Great run - great time... my local Parkrun is a bit like your one - with the "last lot" coming in around 32 minutes... that's why I go to the other ones with more people... :)

Anyway - that time is awesome and you ran 5K today (albeit a shockingly 3 seconds a kilometre slower!)... :)

I'm looking at that time and thinking it's great Rockette, especially seeing as it was hot :) And to be first in your age range is fantastic :)

Well done rockette for even attempting it in this heat. It's been searing! I was in it all day and was melting but so glad I didn't have to run in it. You're a star!

Thanks misswobble , I nearly didn't go when I saw the weather & also over indulged on the buds & spare ribs at tgi Fridays last night , which doesn't help I suppose !
