Park run!

I have just completed my first park run! 36.32 minutes. I am on cloud 9 that I managed to do it without stopping. Everyone there was lovely, and the volunteers cheering people on really helped.

There was a really nice lady that explained the way it worked to me at the start, and it was lovely that after she finished, she came back to look for me, gave me a bit of encouragement and led me into a sprint finish which left me on a high. I don't even know how I was able to sprint, as before she came I was starting to flag. Sarah from Park Run Cardiff, thank you!!
