A stitch in side adds 9

Well more or less, not quite bad enough to stop me running but enough to slow me down and adopt a strange crablike run as I was determined to finish parkrun .

Lots of people run/ walk this event and do so much quicker than me so why have I got this dogged determination to run the whole way even when some of that seems to be on the spot for several minutes!!?

Anyway,beautiful day beautiful venue. A word of encouragement to all of you seeking the 30mins/5k holy grail. Results today showed that 125 runners out of 229 did it in more than 30 mins including me. So we slow but sure types are by no means the minority.

I’m liking my slow but sure thing atm. That elusive 5k still seems a long way off yet, but still loving it 👍. Good to know we are in the majority though 😂
