Silent disco

Managed 5k in a respectable 30.33 mins.

If run keeper is right I ran the first 1k in 3 mins 23 which would explain why my breathing was a bit heavy !!!!

I had to do some bizarre stretches mid run and some very un-lady -like hip swivelling and toe touching to relieve the tension in my back , this would have been fine except I was singing to monster (Eminem and Rhianna ) whilst swivelling and failed to spot the man in the pink shirt and large gold chain round his neck resting against a grave stone 😬.

Not an angel unfortunately.

Hip swivelling in a grave yard is not appropriate for many reasons ,I smiled and waved as I trotted past, he smiled back and I can only hope I gave him something else to think about for the rest of the day.

Really funny visual Amanda 2463 -of your stretching in a grave yard, in the presence of a bejewelled human.

Are you sure it wasn’t a guard of the other side?

Yeah, 18 minute parkruns get you on the hall of fame, and that was your first km pace... damn that’s fast!

Sounds like you took that guy’s mind off things.

Good job all round!
