Achieved.

Ran at the Huntingdon park run today and absolutely loved it. Third time I have run 5k now, previously two solo runs to make sure I could lol. Was great to run a new route and not to solely be on the road which has been my experience so far.

Was fun dodging all the santas, elf's reindeers and so on and I felt I had a really comfortable and easy run. I am very happy with my 35:33 time. Sure it's not quick but I chose to be near the back and just focus on getting round for my first attempt.

I will be back :)

Well done! Good time! Maybe start up in the middle of the pack..I had a few Santa's getting in the way at my PR this morning, in the past at Bushy Park I've started at the front and had about 1000 runners come past me, I nearly became a cardboard cutout out! didn't do that again! great atmosphere though..😁
