What a day!

My goodness. Somewhere between walking the dogs in the mist early doors and the rest of Saturday- which included babysitting my granddaughter, losing my car keys and then my house keys whilst out with said granddaughter (keys eventually found), my daughter in laws car breaking down, the RAC man, family in meltdown and a pasta supper, I managed my second parkrun.

PB'd it- a smidgen quicker even without DiL running with me! - 32:57. Just possibly massively quietly proud of myself all day (despite losing keys) and wondering is the headache I have is anything to do with being too big headed. It was tough but those wonderful volunteer marshals were great- thank you Pittville parkrun!

Well done :) parkrun must have set you up nicely to cope with the day ahead! Did my second one yesterday, and was happy managed a weeny bit faster and got 38 something instead of 40 something. I'm so looking forward to graduating next week :)
