I did it!

[Juski]

after failing to come up with an excuse not to go I set of for my local parkrun this morning.i was very nervous and it was very hot. I was amazed to finish and even more amazed that I wasn't last I managed to come 143 rd out of 154 so I was pleased and very pleased with my time of 38:58 especially as I've only just completed week 3 .

Well done - that's a great time for someone only part way through C25K - you've obviously got a bright future!

[JoolieB1 Graduate]

That is a very respectable time, be very pleased with ur self. I'm still working towards 5k, not ready but u r and u did a great job

[Juski]

I have to confess I didn't run the whole thing I did walk a bit but tried to keep a reasonable pace during my walk breaks although didn't need as many as I was expecting thanks for all the kind comments one day I will be able to run the whole thing but slow and steady for now

[JoolieB1 Graduate in reply to Juski]

Exactly what I will be doing once I complete this programme. Doing 5 K running as much as I can and increase time running, then can work on my time, good plan I figure. When I can do 5 k in 45-50 mins, Parkrun.

Walking is still moving so well done great run too! I am not sure what 5K looks like

[Juski]

I had only done 3.5 k while doing the programme so wasn't sure I would make it round at all but it's amazing what you can achieve with a little encouragement I was thinking if I could do it in 50 mins I would be happy and have something to chip away at so was really happy with my time I will be running park run as my third day of the programme from now I think

Well done for giving it a go. Once again the hardest part is getting started. You did well, too, even if what really mattered most this time was just to do it.

Well done on your first of no doubt many park runs. Once you break the ice and take the plunge you will be addicted like the rest of us.
