First Park run

10 Replies

Did my first graduation run and first Park run. Pleased with my 33.32 time especially since the lower path was flooded so we had to run B route which is seriously hilly. Very proud I didn't walk at all. Last hill it was touch and go but knowing once I got to the top it was all downhill got me there.

It was a lovely thing to do. I will become a regular. Running with other people was a different experience and everyone so friendly. Lots of families so my tip is run near some children as there will be an adult encouraging them on and you can listen in to the positive thinking.

Parkrun is the best! It makes you realise the breadth of the running community.

Congratulations.

Keep running, keep smiling.

Oh yes. Definitely beaten by a few children.

Blimey oh Riley, that's a cracking pace, especially with hilly bits. Well done you

Thank you. Hoping the flood has cleared by next week so I can try it on the flatter route!
