Week 9 Run 2. Eek only one to go!!

Weather was great today, cold and crisp but super sunny! Not much to report today, I ran my usual favourite route around the park and it felt good 😊 Around halfway I was at the top of the meadow and as I ran down I just took in the scenery and nature and thought this is it! This is what it is all about... then got a little emotional, but composed myself as I'm saving that for Wednesday!!

Talking of which, my little baby will be 9 months on Wednesday too so double celebrations... 2 things I can be proud of this year 😊

It really was a good one!

Your not far off 5k if your just under 3 miles!!! I'm covering 3.4k, which I think is around 2ish miles?!?!

Will you be taking your 9 month old with you? I see parkrun photos of mums and dads pushing buggies around the course.

Happy running and enjoy your success 😸

No no! But when I take the toddler to junior parkrun I might take him round in the pram!
