Well peeps I got up and dressed early this Saturday - I'm usually in my pjs until around 11am after a nice lie-in, a relaxed breakfast and a good read of the weekend papers....but this weekend was different - I was corralled into the running gear to do my first ever Park Run! I did it with one friend who's a Park Run vet (115 I think!) and a friend who was also doing it for the first time. There were a few 'hills' involved, ok, ok, slopes...and a couple of wooden bridges to cross - but cross them we did - and the finish line in a respectable 33 minutes! So I'll take that and add it to the bag of goodies I'm collecting - oh, and here's a piccy of me in the surprise present of a 'Bring On New York' T-shirt from my lovely friend....it's getting closer and closer - eeeks!
First Park Run:Done :): Well peeps I got up and... - Couch to 5K
First Park Run:Done :)

Well done, great time. You're doing so well keeping it from your daughter. That must be so hard when it's probably all you want to talk about.

So enjoy reading your posts and looking forward to the posts about the New York run .Dont know how you manage to keep it a secret. It must be so hard.
Oh dddd4 that's so kind - and I have no idea how I haven't spilled the beans so far - I'm totally rubbish with secrets (luckily I never had an urge to join MI5) - I'm really trying to keep it zipped for the next couple of months so I can pull the biggest surprise on 20th August - and maybe even video her reaction too - I'll come back and show you all too How are you getting on with the challenge?
