Done and dusted . Done my week9run 3 tonight . I set of and ran 5k instead of the 30 mins . I now have a park run under my belt (last Saturday )which I must say was thoroughly brilliant and I can now run 5k . Who would of thought a few months ago when I battled to run 90 seconds without stopping that I would be able to run a park run and enjoy it. If I can offer any advice to people starting the journey or battling to complete , it would be keep going . It is so easy to give up , but the rewards for finishing are brilliant . Trust me what a feeling to complete πŸƒπŸƒπŸƒπŸƒπŸƒπŸƒπŸƒπŸƒπŸƒπŸ˜ŽπŸ˜ŽπŸ˜Ž. Thanks to everyone on here for all the encouragement along the way . Onward and upward now . 10k is looming large πŸ™ƒπŸ™ƒπŸ™ƒπŸ™ƒ

Well done, indeed. πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ I’m dying to get out there and do a Park Run. My three daughters do it every Saturday, and I’m training secretly in the hope of surprising them in the new year. Only just finished week 4. Your news is inspiring.

I managed the 5k for the first time on my first parkrun and the encouragement from the other runners made it a lot easier. Very friendly bunch

Congratulations FBB. Enjoy the achievement, the post grad consolidation and the challenges ahead :)
