Yay! At last, 2nd Parkrun!

[TailChaser]

Finally, finally, finally after a six week impatient wait in and out of IC, my youngest son and I have done our second Parkrun.

Compared to the first one when I pig-headedly ran it because it was the end of my C25K and could hardly walk by the end, I’m feeling fairly unscathed which is brilliant! I’m so happy! It was swelteringly hot, even at 9am, and I think a lot of people dropped out along the way. I finished very far down the field but only a minute longer than my first run (and I think there about 100 less runners due to heat and the Stratford upon Avon River Festival). The last lap was tough, too hot and dusty, but I only walked a bit of it, so very chuffed.

This is the first time I’ve run for 30 minutes plus since the last Parkrun (and the first 3 run week too), so now I think I can finally start my consolidation runs and start building up the length and pace. I’ve learnt an awful lot the last few weeks.

Onwards and onwards 😀😀🤸‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️👍😀

Welcome back TailChaser, and another Parkrun under the belt. Our event had 100 less runners this week too, I am sure it is down to the heat. Happy running . 🏃‍♀️☀️
