No longer a park run virgin!

Finally did a park run, and ran the whole thing! Very chuffed with myself. Haven't got my time yet, but think it was a little over 35 minutes - and I had a technology failure, which meant no music and counting 1-2-3-4 in my head over and over! Who'd have thought when I started this last September, that running would make me feel so proud of myself!

Tech failure is the last thing you need when doing something new. Well done for doing it anyway! I guarantee you'll be dissecting that results table when it's published - it's so good to see your name on that list.

Get iiiiiiiiiinnnnnnn Mummy Jill! Well done you. Despite the tech breakdown it sounds like you ran a glorious 5K. You SHOULD feel proud. I remember you last September puffing and blowing, smoking 1000 fags a day, swigging from a bottle of Jack Daniels over breakfast......sorry! That was someone else!!!

GO GIRL!
