Park run number two

[Mummycav]

That's another one under my running belt!!! Rainy? ✅ muddy? ✅ great fun? ✅

That's the second time this week I've been drenched but once you're wet, you're wet!!!

There were the gazelles, as usual...there were the kids...

And there was me...doing my W7R2...which I did..but that had finished as I'd just begun my 3rd and final lap...so what did I do? Well...for the last lap I ran the majority of it...and walked a little bit in between...spurred on by one of my friends who'd finished but spotted me labouring along...he was really good at motivating me to keep digging deep....I am going to tell you this but don't tell anyone else...I think I'm getting addicted to this running business...

Daddycav was stood in the window watching me...and there was a cup of tea ready for when I walked in..nice warm shower now coz I'm frozen to the bone...

I'm sorry but I have a happy little smile on my face again which will last all day!!! Yipeeeee!!!

Brilliant Mummycav - yep you definitely sound a bit addicted to me! As others have said before your story is a brilliant one to follow. You had some doubt and some upsets along the way, but look at you now!

[Tricky2836]

Yayyy well done for taking on another park run... this is getting serious now mate which is really good to hear and the fact your getting a buzz out of it is great, keep going your doing amazing 😀

[Glossy Graduate]

What a brilliant post! I'm so pleased you went back and had another go. It sounds like a great morning. I can't wait to be good enough for a Park run and join in with the rest of you x

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate in reply to Glossy]

Glossy...you are good enough for a park run, honestly...there isn't a 'good enough' ...everybody is running their own journey out there....enjoying splashing through the puddles with other people who are there for the same reason...I would urge everyone to at least give a park run a go...

[Glossy Graduate in reply to Mummycav]

Ah I'm not there yet. Starting week four today. I'm hoping to have a go by week six when I can run a bit more x

[Sillyyak13 Graduate]

You ROCK. Totally envious. I chickened out of parkrun no 2 so.... Kudos to you. Big cheesy grinning thing. 😂😂😂

I know what you mean about the addiction. Your "itchy feet" is contagious.

[CookieM Graduate]

Well done. I went to Parkrun today as well, although I didn't manage to do the run I had planned. But I did run about 3k of it - just waiting to see my time as I used my Garmin to measure the time I ran not the whole thing.

But well done you

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate in reply to CookieM]

I beat my last time by 2 minutes...and i came 207th out of 224!!! Not fantastic but better than being on the couch!!!

[tfcmagpie Graduate]

So pleased to hear all the positive feedback on Parkrun. I will be doing my WK8 R3 next Saturday if I manage R1 and R2 Tuesday and Thursday. Hope there will be others to get me over the line. Struggled with last 5 mins of 25 yesterday.

Not to steal your show though you are indeed a true Champion !

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate in reply to tfcmagpie]

25 minutes is a struggle, I'm not going to lie....but with determination & will power you will do it....& don't let them gremlins tell you otherwise!!!

[lardofale Graduate]
