I did it! First parkrun

I am so excited! Just heading to week 9 of our course, and did a park run buddy run this morning. I fully expected to have to walk and was hoping for a sub 45 min time as I’ve never run as far as 5k. I RAN THE WHOLE WAY!! I am thrilled with my time, I did it in 35.35. My main aim was to just finish and I didn’t care where or when, so I’m so chuffed!

Today is a very good day! Well done you, brilliant time, I hope you enjoyed the whole parkrun experience, it's highly addictive - if this running lark wasn't addictive enough! 😂

Go you, I hope you're really proud of yourself, you should be 👍👏

Oh wow!!! That is brilliant. I am so pleased I've seen this as I'm trying to get the courage to do a park run next Saturday and it will be week 8 run 3 for me then. Running the whole thing is an amazing achievement. Well done!

Do it! I thoroughly enjoyed it! Running with that many people was awesome. I’m doing a 5k as part of a marathon festival next weekend to celebrate graduating :)
