Run Through

Did a run through event this evening 5k (although you can do 10K). Very much like park run apart from it costs £18 and you get a flapjack and a 🍌 and a medal. Will stick to parkrun. Sadly strava didn't set properly but timed at 37:42. Consistent but not getting quicker.

Congrats my friendπŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‘πŸΌπŸ˜€πŸ˜€. Nice bling! You could carry that with you and use it to defend yourself if necessary.

I am now officially registered for the Commander Gander 5km road race which is on Sun 6th Aug. That's it for a year😞, no ParkRuns here, no bling. I do get a tshirt for the race but medals only for top three in each category πŸ˜†πŸ˜†- definitely not me!

I hate it when Strava gets messed up, happened to me the other night...my fault. I set it going and almost immediately put phone in belt carrier thingy. Got it out 16 mins later ( according to my Fitbit) only to discover that I had stopped it after 17 secs! Obviously I restarted it and carried on, trouble is Strava says I ran 2.7km but I really did 5 😞 . Do I remember that you run in the London parks? We should be buddies on Strava, may help motivate each other. I too am struggling a bit since graduation. After the race in 10 days, not sure what I will do, I'm just hoping the more times I run for 30 mins andor 5km the more " normal" I will becomeπŸ˜‹

Hi. Definitely in London park and would love to link on strava Commander Gander sounds an awesome position. Name Kim Bowden if that helps to find me. K

Ooh I didn't know Victoria Park did those, love the shiny medal. Still a brilliant time even if you think you're not getting faster. Consistent works think tortoise and hare. Not sure I'd be up for Β£18 though....
