Week 8 in the bag

Usual last run of the week inside the ParkRun. Forgot my headphones and had to dash home. Managed to get to the start line with 10 seconds to go. But I was all flustered, didn’t start the app off properly and so Sarah wasn’t there to give me time checks. Music played up at the start and everything seemed to be a disaster. Calmed down after 1k and managed a new PB of 35:19 and, best off all, kept going and completed 5k without stopping! But... sub 30 minute 5k seems pretty impossible at the mo! Will I ever get there? 3 runs til 🎓💪🏽

Well done Tash! You are becoming a seasoned runner so Sarah is just your comfort blanket! Confidence will bring your parkrun times down. Congrats on running whole 5k! 👍

I feel I have a long way to go yet. I have aches and pains in places I never thought I could get them 🤣

I've just graduated for the second time (indoors on treadmill and now outdoors) and my time for 5k is 43+ minutes! You are doing amazingly well, most people don't make the 5k by the time they graduate :-)

Well done Tasha99! That's a wonderful result! 35minutes is fabulous, 7 minute KMs! You should be delighted 🌞🏃‍♀️💪. Congratulations on finishing week 8, I'm wondering if I should have a go, tummy still not happy (TMI)
