Hi everyone, Today I was starting week 9 run one. I registered for the park run (5k)

Not a lot turned out for it only approximately 30 ish . We did the warm up and I turned on my 5k app . I didn't walk I ran straight away as I had done the warm up .

I ran it all of it . I stayed up front with the pack leaders for most of it. I didn't stop once . I came in 10th . A few people walked on the run. .

When I got half way I wanted to die in a heap but I wasn't giving up !!! I was going to earn that medal 🏅.

39 minutes not fast but I'm happy 😁

30 people at a ParkRun?

[Deborahchick46 Graduate in reply to Tasha99]

Thank you. Yes approximately 30 xx

[Tasha99 Graduate in reply to Deborahchick46]

Wow that’s a little one!

[Deborahchick46 Graduate in reply to Tasha99]

It was enough for me I normally run on my own and if it was a big run I think I would have freaked. 🤣

But I enjoyed it xx

[Deborahchick46 Graduate in reply to Fishypieface]

My partner's idea but why not I had won in my head. I had ran 5k no stopping and no moaning 🤗

[Fishypieface Graduate in reply to Deborahchick46]

Thank you xx

[ArthurJG Graduate]

Trivial point compared to your achievement but - your parkrun gives out medals?

[lexi6 Graduate]

39 minutes is a brilliant time for a 5k, whether there were 30 runners or 130. Well done! Speed Queen. 😄😝

[Deborahchick46 Graduate in reply to lexi6]

Thank you.🤗x

[RobW73 Graduate]

Well done Deborah!

You look so happy atop that podium.

That is a very respectable pace especially in the heat.

[Deborahchick46 Graduate in reply to RobW73]

Even though I came 10th I needed to stand on it. Haha 😂

It was extremely warm and it did bother me slightly. Just 2 more runs till I get my graduation trophy 🏆🏆. Thanks Rob ☺️
