Good news bad news.

Well like a few others this morning I wasn’t sure I wanted to tackle my second park run this morning but as it would be hotter tomorrow morning I decided to go for it. This week I kept ‘running’ up the hill I’ve avoided for weeks so the challenge today was to do the same on the hill second time round. Last time I decided during the first circuit that I’d never make it second time round. Needless to say I walked a bit.

More confident this week although I was changing placed with a run/walk girl and assured her she’d pass me on the hill.

Good news? She didn’t - I ‘ran’ all 5k for the first time!! Hoorah 😄

Bad news? My time was 0.03 minutes slower than last parkrun!

Did I mention it’s my fist 5k run?! 🍾 😃

Well done you!

Thank you. Consolidation done so maybe need to look at increasing speed but maybe not! Used to be indecisive but now I’m not so sure!!

Good run. 3 seconds slower is bad news? You’re gonna have to watch out, there’s a very tough competitor against you called Sybilw.

Congrats on your first 5k run. If it was, I’m not sure, I think you mentioned it, I could be wrong.

Brilliant! Well done. I live in hilly area, and decided, I wasn't going to run up hill so keep them for my cool down walk

[Sybilw Graduate in reply to Liliuk]

I hate hills. Luckily I live in east anglia so they’re not big around here! You’re being very sensible!!

Yay! Well done! Planning to do my first parkrun next weekend. The time won’t be pretty; is it very bad form to 'forget' your barcode?

[Sybilw Graduate in reply to telford_mike]

Look on the bright side - you’ll get a PB!! Just ‘forget’ it on weeks you’ve had a bad run!! 🤣

Gaming the system? Shameful...

[Sybilw Graduate in reply to sallenson]

Not a recommendation! Guilt is a terrible thing!! 😕
