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 ๐Ÿ˜ฌ.

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 wasnโ€™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 thatโ€™s fast!

Sounds like you took that guyโ€™s mind off things.

Good job all round!
