ParkRun

[J9_54]

Managed to get out and do the Bedford parkrun this morning it was cold and raining and I was very tempted to stay under my lovely cosy duvet but once I'd had a coffee I confess I was rather looking forward to it.

Lots of people so I may have started off a bit quick as I have to say the final half lap almost finished me off. I was so tempted to stop and walk for a bit but I am proud to say I didn't, I dug in and kept going, slow and steady. OldFloss's wisdom rattling though my head as I ran on to the very end.

Results for event #331. Your time was 00:35:08.

You finished in 378th place and were the 139th female out of a field of 432 parkrunners and you came 24th in your age category VW45-49.

Happy with that

That's an excellent result and achievement. Well done! My first parkrun (Bangor, County Down) was last week and my time was 44:44, so I've a bit of catching up to do... 🏃 😊

That's brilliant. We didn't have rain and my time was almost exactly the same 😊

[Kimchoc08 Graduate]

That’s brilliant!! I did my first one today and was pretty chuffed with my time of 36:18 😊

You say that you ran the Bedford Parkrun. Is that Bedford in Bedfordshire? If it is I’m not too far from you, I’m in Huntingdon in Cambridgeshire 😊

[J9_54 Graduate in reply to Kimchoc08]

Yes. Its around Bedford Park. 09:00 start if you're over this way 😊

[Kimchoc08 Graduate in reply to J9_54]

Might just do that on a free Saturday 😊

Well done! I can't wait to start these in a few weeks time 😀🏃❤

They are great. Really friendly people. All ages, all abilities. Young fitties that sprint round in less than 15 mins, kids, dogs, people running with pushchairs, people doing a mix of walk/run to the likes of me; just happy to get all the way round. Enjoy :0)
