Beaming from ear to ear.

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 πŸ….

39 minutes not fast but I'm happy 😁

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

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

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

39 minutes is a brilliant time for a 5k, whether there were 30 runners or 130. Well done! Speed Queen. πŸ˜„πŸ˜

Well done Deborah!

You look so happy atop that podium.

That is a very respectable pace especially in the heat.

Even though I came 10th I needed to stand on it. Haha πŸ˜‚

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