Done my second Havant parkrun this morning and was amazed with a PB of 29mins 16secs. Has anyone lost a pair of legs because these surely can't be mine! πŸ˜€. The trouble now is will I ever be able to maintain that, time will tell. Enjoy your weekend running everyone.

Great time! Did my first Parkrun this morning - great fun, though the last k was a bit painful!

Hi Steve, thanks. Glad you enjoyed your run, if yours was anything like mine it was a bit muddy, but great fun all the same. Happy running.

How long have you been on the IC?

in reply to Frank-ntj

4 weeks now. Physio reckoned about 6-8 weeks for recovery . Maybe back running in another 2-3 weeks . I am optimistic :-D

Thank you, I did have a quick look around and spotted a chicken but it wasn't them as the ones I had weren't as shapely! πŸ˜€

Okay come on , who's nicked my legs ? :-D

Ha ha only joking NTJ , in my dreams :-D

Thanks PP, the only solution I think is they must have been taken over by aliens to have a look round the country park. Probably have to make a charge if they do it again! 😊 Hope your rehab is coming along well

Your second PR and you did it in under 30! I can assure you that whoever's legs you do have, they are NOT mine!! But, could I borrow them?
