First Parkrun

For my Wk5 r3, I thought I'd go along to the Parkrun to try the Zenlabs 20min straight run, walking the rest. I took my head out of my watch and just enjoyed a slow jog along with other Parkrunners at the back.

By the time I was halfway, a marshall said I'd run for 18mins and since I was starting to feel warmed up, I continued at my slow pace. Before I knew it I was approaching the finish.

I didn't expect to achieve 5K today. Very happy indeed. Can't wait for 9.00 next Saturday!

We must have had the same running angels looking over us Clare!

I was supposed to be doing W4R3 but my heart and body said 'what the hell' do parkrun instead to celebrate its 14th anniversary.

Fantastic achievement Clareto5k! You've got this C25k linked 😸👟👟👟👟😸
