I am officially awesome

I know I shouldn't say it but it is how I feel - I have just done my first park run (on W9R1) completed the whole thing at the run (albeit slowly) and have an official time of 41.06.

You will understand how very, very chuffed I am feeling.

Don't just say it, shout it out, you are awesome. 😃 Hopefully I'll be shouting it in a couple of weeks.

You are indeed awesome. Well done and good luck with the last 2 runs to graduation.

Thank you, Leighbev. It's a great feeling and I had all my supporters sitting weightlessly on my shoulders and whispering in my ears to keep me going. Thank you all.

Brilliant, fab and glorious.

Grazie, Jan. I see you've had a difficult day and I hope you are being kind to yourself. Are you still in Italy? My favourite country at the moment and I am very envious. Wish I could be there now away from the rain here.

in reply to sheps

Yes still here London on Monday. Virtual hugs and support gratefully received, kicked my own butt and back to normal(ish) now. It's scorchio here again, but it is Italy. Grazie Mille e in bocca al lupo. (Good luck)

Yes and you have to reply Crépi which doesn't seem to mean a double portion of pancakes....

Slow and steady did it, Old Floss. Your wonderful mantra. I passed several walkers on the way back - I was still running at the same pace at which I started. Thank you for your wisdom.
