Just back home after completing W9 R3 at the Frome 5k. Haven’t got my official time yet but Strava says 31:12 which is a PB! Ran the whole race, even the two killer hills lol! Cried a tear or two as I crossed the finish line. Chuffed to bits to have completed the programme 😊😊

Well done, what an achievement and a great time. I done my last run yesterday and was a bit short of the 5k. Think I might do a parkrun, and hopefully the buzz of being with others will push me that we bit more.

Well done!! It’s an awesome feeling completing the programme. The buzz certainly helps. There was so much support all along the course today it really lifts you 👍 I might try our local parkrun next 😊

Yay! Well done! We don't have a parkrun where I live, but I might get a chance to do one next month - everyone seems to enjoy them so much. Anyhow, congratulations and keep running!

I haven’t tried a parkrun yet, I think that’s next 👍. My first ‘official’ race and loved it. The support from spectators all along the route was amazing!!
