OK... first Parkrun on Sat.. promise

[AndyD]

After many months of thinking about it... I hereby promise to do my first parkrun on Saturday.

- I've run the course many times (next to my office)

- Checked the weather... all looks good

- I've checked the stats... don't think they will have closed when I'm done

- No injury problems at present (nips better thanks)

- Will have a couple of days off after my run tonight (birthday cake tomorrow)

- If slow_rob recommends it... then who am I to argue

Anyone else out there going to the Taunton parkrun??

Will update you all on Saturday

I went to college at SCAT many years ago. Give it a wave on the way past for me!!

Good luck, it'll be grand

We will be expected a PB wasn't going to mention the nip's haha

Good luck Andy, I'm doing the Humber Bridge parkrun on Saturday. If anyone sees me collapsed, please pause the Garmin.

Thank you

Best of luck Andy. Let us know how it goes. I looked at my local park run- I think they are all training for the Olympics, so I have been a coward. I would love to know your experience , but I just know it will be good. here's to a pb. Enjoy

Yes, my birthday tomorrow...Would never have imagined I would be a runner 12 months ago! Did a run tonight and even knocked a minute off my 5k PB so have a target for Saturday. Still not overly fussed about records but it's good to see improvement.
