Just needed to share my excitement with you all 🙂 I graduated from couch to 5k on Thursday. Next step was my 1st parkrun on Saturday which was a disaster!! I just couldn't do it and found myself walking a lot of it. I came away feeling like I'd failed.
Saturday afternoon my spirits were back up and I took myself off to buy a new pair of running trainers. Tonight they've had their 1st outing and I've run 5k WITHOUT STOPPING!!!!!!😁 and I actually enjoyed it! I cannot tell you how pleased I am!

In fact aren't we due a pic of the trainers? I thought that was the golden rule
Not at all. I know what to expect now. I can't make this Saturday so I'm going to keep going with the 5k runs every other night so hopefully it'll be a bit easier next parkrun
Hey well done on your 5k last night. You didn't fail at the Parkrun on Saturday. You nailed it. You took part and you finished. I've done 10 Parkruns so far and have only managed to run the complete 5k on 3 separate occasions. Even last Saturday, I ended up having to walk for about 200 meters just to recover after a hill. But I don't count all of them as failures, I learn something new from each one.
