I always walk before I crawl.
Will I ever learn?
Today was a W4R3 for me today but I changed my mind.
Because it was cold and wet?
Nah... I put on compression leggings and top and extra layers in the form of a loose running top and shorts. Finished off with a neck warmer and a baseball cap to keep the rain out of my eyes. No rainproofs.
Actually my other half was doing her 10th parkrun coinciding with parkrun's 14th anniversary. So I decided what a fantastic way to break my parkrun virginity.
Has anyone mentioned it was wet this morning? πΈπ¦π§π¦β
This was my first wet weather run.
And my first parkrun.
And it was awesome! πΈππΈ
Our local is 3 laps.
Lap 1 was great. Shuffling along nicely. Thanking the soggy marshals πΈ and running next to my beloved,chatting away.
No problems.
Lap 2 - also went well. Cannot believe we were getting lapped so soon into lap 2! Still OK and keeping up with Mrs Kaunas.
Lap 3 was difficult. I wanted to stop and walk but I wasn't sure I would be able to get going again. Mrs Katnap stayed with me and we crossed the line hand in hand. πΈππΈ
I'm delighted to have completed my first parkrun today. Supporting Mrs Katnap (although I think I should say she was supporting me) and celebrating parkrun's birthday by taking part.
Back to the plan now. I don't want to be on the injury couch!
Happy running everyone! πΈπππππΈ
Brilliant! π And did I read correctly that you were βchatting awayβ whilst running?! Kudos. I havenβt tried, but thatβs because I know Iβd be monosyllabic! π
Isnβt parkrun fun? Itβs an addiction, and I canβt wait for next week.
Have fun on the rest of the programme. Something tells me youβll be smashing it big style! ππππ
Feeling it the morning after!
I have yer to attempt the stairs... π
(Slide down on your backside maybe?) π
I've done that before. And not all that long ago! πΈ
But I can't slide up again...
Iβd be mighty impressed seeing anyone who could! π
