Another fab outing. I have definitely fallen in love with running. Why have I only just discovered this wonderful pastime?? 🤔 2.7 miles covered in 28 minutes running this evening. Doing my first ParkRun on Saturday for W8 R3. A bit naughty as I haven’t graduated yet, but want to give it a go! I will take it very steady 👍😊

I ask myself the same question every day, especially since I did run when I was 23 but I never really enjoyed it all that much. I’m boring my family senselesss. Fortunately my eldest is already a runner, the twins are thinking about it (hehehe).

Yea well done you!!! Yes this running thing is addictive and I too wonder at it all... am doing W8 R2 tomorrow night... yes night.... as being a “ginger” I can’t do the HEAT !!!! Can’t believe I have got this far and it’s reading the great posts on here that really motivates me. Considered a parkrun last week but chickened out🐣🐣 think I will wait till that graduation badge is on my profile. Best of luck to you. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Hi I’m doing a Race for life on Sunday W8R3 - can’t believe I can run 28 mins - am slow but - do 3.5k in the 28 ! But very happy to be able to do it. Really looking forward to a park run to see how it goes but no pressure 😂 except the heat!!☀️☀️

Fantastic! I’ve just done W8R3, so am hoping to graduate at the end of next week and thinking of a Park Run the following week as we’re going away next weekend. Wouldn’t say I love it yet but I do have a massive sense of achievement. Good luck!
