W1R7 - running in a group C2 5k

[Katnap]

This evening did the first (W1R1) in a group.

The plan is now to follow the C2 5k with the group so we can have a celebration party together at graduation <:o)

Of course, when I say party it will be a parkrun 😸

It went well. We ran around and around a proper running track. Ooh! Nice and bouncy 🐆

I think I even ran a bit faster. All the chatting helps take your mind off aches and pains. I didn't count but there were over 40 people joining up B-)

Brilliant!

Fingers crossed we all stay injury free so we can all get to the party! Hopefully there will be cake. 🎂

Great stuff... there’s a parkrun not so far from me that has a section on a track too.

Hope you all progress and make it to that parkrun as a group.

As always, very good job!

And good luck with your tricky weeks 😎

Brilliant. Definitely helps doing it in a group.

[Katnap Graduate in reply to Jojo6i]

Oh yeah! Bring it on 😸

[Beanjo Graduate]

Whoop whoop! I’m looking forward to running in a group at Parkrun in 9 weeks time. They do great (guilt free) cake there too 🍉🍊🍰🍪 V proud of the both of you x

Cake... yummy 🎂

Ooh Katnap, I wonder if we were at the same event!

I’m extremely unfit but found it fun to run* with a couple of friends. Feeling a bit more motivated about tomorrow’s run (at a different venue 😉). This is my second attempt at C25k after abandoning my first at W2R2, I’m hoping running in a group will make me stick it out this time.

*by run I mean stagger around, out of breath with a red face!

[Katnap Graduate in reply to Redlaces]

Maybe we were at the same event 😸

I'm double booked for Wednesday but should be good for Saturday.

Stay slow and steady.

I'm sure you will manage it this time!

Fingers crossed 🤞🏼

Good luck!
