W9!!! Yes me!!!

18 Replies

I have just done my first 30 mins run, and have managed to use Mapmyrun to tell me how far I can go in that time. I was very pleased to find that my distance was 4.3 km!!! Yes!!! Considering I'm 54 and carry round an extra stone or two wherever I go 😀

The best bit is... after you bask in the well-deserved glory... this journey goes on :)

So much to think about as you move forward :)

30 mins is tough on the pins at the moment, so I'm not really concerned about distance, more about stamina. I'm aiming for smug!! Not there yet 😁

Thanks Debbie! I was expecting something in the region of 3km, maybe 3.5. So it made me happy to think that I may not be running the final third of my first parkrun entirely alone!!!
