I have just finished the Burnley Parkrun- I was absolutely last (except for the tail runner thank you Mr Hudson again!) I RAN the course - yes all of it!!! I wasn’t nervous but I forgot to set my Strava app and I failed to set the time - I ran on my own without Laura but with Jans ska playlist and I did it ( Can I tell you all that I think not swearing in this post is one of my greatest achievements btw!!!) thanks for all the support and friendship on here - I’m going off to skip along a bit - see you all soon and happy running 🏃♀️
I ran the Parkrun!!!!: I have just finished the... - Couch to 5K
I ran the Parkrun!!!!
Superb!! Well done!! Hope Mr Hudson is going to be able to cope when you leave him for dust xx
Oh wow, how fabulous Mandi! You sound so excited and I can totally understand why!! Well done! 👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️
Well done 👍🏻 going to sign up for park runs soon. Took my granddaughter to the park the other day and saw everyone just finishing their last lap. Everyone was so supportive and waited round to cheer the last runner in 😀
I've just done w6 run2 so a few more weeks before joining my local parkrun. Well done - bet you feel great!
Brilliant, well done Mandi! Couldn’t do parkrun today, but will be back next week 😀
Well done Mandi 👍🏃♀️
You beat my first park run time (by a minute) - and it really really doesn’t matter about time. (Really - I used to nod along with people saying it didn’t matter - a year on I somehow now know it for myself.) Enjoy your personal victory!!! That’s yours to keep.
Wooohooo! 🙌👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍💪
Excellent!!!! I did wonder if you was there. I did Burnley myself today
I'm not going to be doing it now until 8th September, but I'll keep an eye out for you and buy you a coffee at the end
8th of September is my next one - I’m easy to spot I’m last!!! But I’ll gladly see you for a coffee at the end!!
What did you think of the park run I found it was to quick for me I got 1 run left of the c25k
Hi some thoughts for what it’s worth!!
We are all different and have different motivations but mine was to graduate and to run a Parkrun.
I’m 57 in 2 weeks time and about 4 stone overweight-
Please don’t think I’m moaning...I also have a great family a good job and friends - I’ve had my share of ups and downs and try to remember to count my blessings! Anyway....I did my first at week 7 and couldn’t run all the way round and I was 51 something - I was last but the tail runner was lovely and encouraging as were all the marshalls. I ran it yesterday and did it in 47 - I was still last! But the tail runner and the Marshalls were still lovely and I was on a high all day - I’m only running against myself AND I’ll get faster - I know that because I already have. (God willing and all that!)
AND a friend has asked me to do a triathlon relay Because I can run 5k!!!!!!! And you can too and you’re awesome for having done this 🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️So go out there and run your best and bl&&dy love it 😍
I going to joy and running club for new people on Tuesday
