Post Grad Parkrun: Return of the Gremlins 👹

[Flaraflarkin]

Ooh those gremlins came storming at me head first quite early on today 👀 I KNOW it's not about how fast you run (no fear of that right now!) or how many people overtake you - I KNOW all of that .... but my gremlins are opportunists and they chose their moment! I did complete it, I didn't run the whole thing continuously but I'm pleased I did it - and even though it was a slower time than I thought it might be, I still feel like I've achieved something thanks to this programme! Ordered my Parkrun wristband ready to wear next week, and the week after that, and the week after that..... 🤞 Plenty of room for improvement and looking forward to it 😬😬

Well done for doing it! I keep bottling park runs because I feel self conscious about my sweaty red face and slooow pace. I want to get some more 5ks under my belt first.

I have got so used to looking like an aubergine it feels almost normal now 🤣

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

Very well done indeed.. crush those pesky little blighters with each and every slow and steady step

[Flaraflarkin Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Ooh I like the thought of stamping on them!! 😆

Well Done Flaraflarkin, You did it and it doesn’t matter how you got over the line. Remember you are now on a passage of consolidation runs so kick those gremlins into touch. You are a graduate and a Parkrunner and don’t forget Jo Whiley’s mantra - “I love running “

[Flaraflarkin Graduate in reply to Dexy5]

Yay!! Thank you 🙌

[MutleyShuffle Graduate]

[Flaraflarkin Graduate in reply to MutleyShuffle]

Thank you MutleyShuffle 😊
