Going to run the local park run route. I'm certain I won't manage it because it's quite hilly and 5k. I haven't done either. But it's a goal so I'm gonna see what I'm able to do. I will update after the run... if I'm conscious πŸ˜‰

Ah go for it!! Mine has hills too. Do you know what? I walk up them and then run down. Perfectly acceptable if you ask me.

Bite the bullet and do the Parkrun next week, you won't regret it!

Had to walk a couple of times but did the course in 28 minutes so im delighted with that. I posted a pic of my hot face when I finished in another post. Thanks for the support guys, I might just register for a park th actually. Gonna have a look at the site. One happy runner! 😊

I'm actually doubting that I read my times right now to be truthful. I'm sure I couldn't have done it that fast. I will try again next week with my new fitbit πŸ™„
