Did my very first Park Run today - so the dilemma ... when Laura says to slow down to a walk after 30 mins .... nnnnoooooooo I'm near the end I screamed, so I upped pace and went for it passing 3 people with a time of 36 m 30 s and I ran the whole thing Sorry Laura I know I've hung on your every word up to now but ....I'm not listening any more
Today was Coventry but my home ones will be Reading, Basingstoke and Newbury

She is quite a woman is Laura... She probably added a few years to my life and she'll never know it! I occasionally go back to her for a 30 minute run...
And Mrs Aussie is now about to start on W4 so she's still a feature of this house...
It will be a privilege to meet you LabShack, and so let me know when you're coming to Newbury. ParkRun is all about the atmosphere, having fun and competing against your own PB. Very well done for getting to W9r1 & you'll graduate this week. Fantastic.
Hey MarkyD will do it soon - I don't know my way round Newbury very well so rely heavily on the sat nav ... is there plenty of parking as have to drive there?
It's on the south side of Newbury at Greenham Common. There's plenty of parking and the directions on the ParkRun website are detailed and accurate. It is hard to miss 300 runners making their way to the start of the course
Alternatively, I can pick you up from Chieveley Services and taxi you too/from the run if you want some company.
Well done Labshack - great job! I have to confess to ignoring Laura a teeny bit on that run too as I was soooo close to 4km ... like you I just had to get that slightly bigger target
I know - think those other 2 runs will be difficult as it will just be me and Laura without the competitive nature of the parkrun ....goes off to eat some humble pie and buy Laura a banana grovel grovel!!!
